Abstract
A mounting apparatus for mounting to a slotted standard of a wall panel system is provided. The apparatus includes a pair of mounting brackets which engage a pair of slots in the slotted standard. Spacing between the mounting brackets is selectively varied. In use, the pair of brackets is first positioned for convenient insertion into slots of the slotted standard. Then the spacing of the brackets is increased to clamp the brackets securely to the slotted standard. The provision of variable spacing between the pair of brackets also allows the apparatus to be mounted to a variety of slotted standards having different slot spacing. The mounting apparatus thus allows an office lamp or the like to be easily detachably mounted to a wall panel system.
