ABSTRACT:
A mounting arrangement is disclosed to mount an arm. The arm has a pair of spaced enlarged sections and an intermediate recessed section. The mounting arrangement has a first mount portion with an upwardly facing opening that extends for a distance greater than the diameter of the recessed section, a second mount portion spaced rearwardly of the first, and an intermediate open portion. The recessed section of the arm is positioned over the opening in the first mount portion and moved downwardly. The arm is then moved rearwardly such that the first and second enlarged sections are received within the first and second mount portions, respectively. The improved mounting arrangement provides support over a sufficient axial distance of the arm, but does not require the arm to be slid within the mounting arrangement for the entire distance. Less space is required in front of the mounting arrangement, and less force must be applied to the arm in order to move it within the mounting arrangement. A quick change electrical connector is also disclosed that allows the arm to be quickly electrically connected to a source of electricity from outside of the mounting arrangement.
