Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for mounting a device on an exterior edge of a thin substrate includes a demountable member adapted to be positioned within an opening in the substrate in proximity to the edge. The demountable member includes means for engaging an interior edge of the opening for restraining outward and lateral movement of the demountable member. A fastener which engages the device is adjustably secured to the demountable member for urging the device toward the edge of the board.
