ABSTRACT:
The invention is a shaped base plate assembly onto which one or more separate units may be detachably mounted. One common latch plate, bolted to the base plate, fixes all the separate units in place in fixed relation to each other and to the base plate. The invention may be employed to mount four separate transformers to a common base plate. Each transformer is fitted with appendages such as four cylindrical legs, each leg being shaped with a circular undercut of reduced cross-section adjacent the free end of the leg. The base plate is formed with sets of keyhole-shape or teardrop-shape holes, with each set of holes located to accommodate the legs of a given transformer. When all four transformers have been inserted and then slid into the latched position, a latch plate is fastened by one latch screw to the base plate. The latch plate is of a shape and size to abut against at least one leg of each transformer and to bias the undercut section of each transformer leg snugly against an edge of a base plate hole. By preventing each transformer from being slid towards the latch plate, the undercut section of each transformer leg is latched in place against the edge of a base plate holes, and all four transformer units are held in place on the plate. The latch plate may be slidably mounted to the base plate and shaped so that it does not abut against the transformer legs when slid to an unlatched position and conversely abuts firmly against at least one leg each of a pair of mounted transformers when slid into a latched position.
