Abstract
Abstract An adjustable mounting device is provided for supporting a decorative slab or the like from a building frame by means of an internal sleeve connected to the building frame with a table plate having a cantilever stem threadably received on the interior of the sleeve for inward and outward movement of the slab with respect to the frame. The table plate includes a plurality of aperture pairs to which an angle bracket is adjustably connected with the angle bracket being of L-shaped configuration and having a base plate and two parallel plates forming a slot in which a fixture plate on the slab is received; the pair of spaced plates defining the slot have a plurality of apertures through which a supporting bolt means extends into the fixture plate so that horizontal and vertical adjustment in any direction is provided for enabling connection of the fixture plate to the supporting building framework.
