Abstract
A locking accessory bracket for use with an accessory standard. A locking accessory bracket that may be used with an accessory standard that essentially comprises a flat, straight elongated body portion having a multiplicity of identical, spatially positioned, upwardly projecting, L-shaped hook members located on either side thereof. The locking accessory bracket comprises a flat mounting plate and a hook plate made integral therewith. The hook plate has a plurality of identical, spatially positioned, downwardly projecting, L-shaped hook members, for detachable engagement with desired ones of the multiplicity of upwardly projecting hook members of the accessory standard. The improvement comprises a locking member that is rotatably mounted at a topmost portion of the hook plate. When downwardly projecting hook members of the hook plate are detachably engaged with corresponding ones of the multiplicity of upwardly projecting hook members of the accessory standard, the locking member abuts a bottom portion of an upwardly projecting hook member immediately adjacent to a topmost downwardly projecting hook member of the hook plate. Thus, the position of the locking member substantially inhibits removal of the mounting plate from the accessory standard.
