Abstract
An improved construction for a quick connect frame is the subject matter of this invention. The instant quick connect frame is used for interconnecting a plurality of wires which wires are part of a communication system. The frame has a pair of uprights and a bridge connecting the uprights. Feet are connected to the bottom of the uprights to hold the uprights in a vertical attitude. A mounting bracket is secured to the uprights to support a block module. A mounting strip is connected to the mounting bracket. The mounting strip includes a support bar and a stiffening bar. The stiffening bar is formed integral with the support bar and is substantially perpendicular to the support bar. An elongated recess is formed in the support bar and the stiffening bar at the junction of the support and stiffener bars. A plurality of spacers is secured to the support bar. Each of the spacers includes an elongated base secured to the support bar and a bar of posts. A mounting bar interconnects the posts. A block bracket is mounted on each of the mounting bars. Each block bracket is adapted to receive a quick connect block. A head is connected to each of the feet. A column is secured to each head and is aligned with its respective upright. An extender foot is fixed to the lower portion of the column for supporting the column in a vertical attitude and thereby the upright.
