An adjustable mounting bracket for secure adhesive mounting onto an exposed edge of a substrate, wherein the mounting bracket is adapted for subsequently supporting a selected structure such as tubing, wire bundles, etc., relative to the substrate. The mounting bracket includes slidably interfitting
An adjustable mounting bracket for secure adhesive mounting onto an exposed edge of a substrate, wherein the mounting bracket is adapted for subsequently supporting a selected structure such as tubing, wire bundles, etc., relative to the substrate. The mounting bracket includes slidably interfitting, generally L-shaped bracket members which cooperatively define a slidably overlying pair of mounting plates and an associated pair of slidably separable clamp jaw plates having inboard faces carrying a selected bonding agent and adapted to seat firmly against opposed substrate edge surfaces. A resilient fixture pin is carried by the mounting plates and can be actuated to apply a positive force urging the clamp jaw plates against the opposed surfaces of the substrate edge of the duration of a bonding agent cure time, after which the fixture pin can be forcibly removed from the mounting bracket.

What is claimed is: 1. An adjustable mounting bracket, comprising: first and second bracket members each defining a mounting plate, and a clamp jaw plate oriented angularly relative to said mounting plate, said mounting plate of said first bracket member having an elongated port slot formed therein
What is claimed is: 1. An adjustable mounting bracket, comprising: first and second bracket members each defining a mounting plate, and a clamp jaw plate oriented angularly relative to said mounting plate, said mounting plate of said first bracket member having an elongated port slot formed therein and extending generally toward the associated clamp jaw plate, and said mounting plate of said second bracket member having a port formed therein; and a resilient fixture pin having a neck segment extending between a pair of radially enlarged lands, said neck segment being receivable through said port slot and said port for respectively retaining said mounting plates in slidably overlying relation with said clamp jaw plates in spaced-apart relation, said mounting plate of said first bracket member being slidably movable within the limits of said port slot relative to said mounting plate of said second bracket member for adjustably selecting the spacing between said clamp jaw plates; said clamp jaw plates respectively defining an adjustably spaced pair of facing surfaces for carrying a selected bonding agent thereon and for seating against opposite sides of a substrate edge for mounting the bracket onto the substrate edge; said fixture pin being movable to a deformed position with one of said lands displaced relative to said port slot in a direction generally toward said clamp jaw plates, and to a position misaligned with said port, to stretch-elongate said neck segment and thereby apply a positive force urging said clamp jaw plates toward each other. 2. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 wherein said clamp jaw plates are oriented in spaced-apart, generally parallel relation. 3. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 wherein each of said bracket members has a generally L-shaped configuration defining said mounting plate disposed substantially at a right angle to said clamp jaw plate. 4. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 wherein the selected bonding agent comprises a curable bonding agent, said fixture pin applying said positive force to urge said facing surfaces of said clamp jaw plates into firm seated engagement with the opposite sides of the substrate edge for at least the duration of a cure time for said bonding agent. 5. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 4 wherein said fixture pin is removable from said bracket members at the conclusion of said bonding agent cure time. 6. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 further including a fastener member carried by said mounting plate of said second bracket member, said fixture pin lands respectively engaging said fastener member and said mounting plate of said first bracket member. 7. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 6 wherein said fastener member comprises a threaded nut. 8. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 further including means for mounting a selected structure to the bracket, whereby the bracket supports said selected structure relative to the substrate edge. 9. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 1 wherein said fixture pin further includes an elongated tail extending from at least one of said lands. 10. An adjustable mounting bracket, comprising: a first bracket member including a first mounting plate, and a first clamp jaw plate oriented angularly with respect thereto, said first mounting plate having an elongated port slot formed therein and extending generally toward said clamp jaw plate; a second bracket member including a second mounting plate, and a second clamp jaw plate oriented angularly with respect thereto, said second mounting plate having a port formed therein, and said second mounting plate member further including a fastener member supported generally in alignment with said port; and a fixture pin having a resilient neck segment extending between a first and second radially enlarged lands; said fixture pin neck segment extending through said first mounting plate port slot and said second mounting plate port, with said first and second lands respectively engaging and retaining said first and second mounting plates in slidably overlying relation with said first and second clamp jaw plates in spaced-apart relation, said first mounting plate being slidably movable within the limits of said port slot therein relative to said second mounting plate for variably spacing said first and second clamp jaw plates; said first and second clamp jaw plates respectively defining an adjustably spaced pair of facing surfaces for carrying a selected bonding agent thereon and for seating against opposite sides of a substrate edge for mounting the bracket onto the substrate edge; said fixture pin being movable to a deformed position with said first land displaced relative to said port slot in a direction generally toward said clamp jaw plates, and to a position misaligned with said port, to stretch-elongate said neck segment and thereby apply a positive force urging said first and second clamp jaw plates toward each other. 11. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 10 wherein said first and second clamp jaw plates are oriented in spaced-apart, generally parallel relation. 12. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 10 wherein the selected bonding agent comprises a curable bonding agent, said fixture pin applying said positive force to urge said facing surfaces of said clamp jaw plates into firm seated engagement with the opposite sides of the substrate edge for at least the duration of a cure time for said bonding agent. 13. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 12 wherein said fixture pin is removable from said bracket members at the conclusion of said bonding agent cure time. 14. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 10 wherein said second land engages said fastener member. 15. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 14 wherein said fastener member comprises a threaded nut. 16. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 10 wherein said first land defines a stop shoulder of relatively large surface area for frictionally engaging said first mounting plate. 17. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 16 wherein said second land defines a comparatively smaller stop shoulder adapted for collapse and displacement through said port and said port slot upon forced removal of said fixture pin from said bracket members. 18. The adjustable mounting bracket of claim 10 wherein said fixture pin further includes an elongated tail extending from said first land.
