An adjustable adapter assembly secures a framework/console to an anchoring
fixture. A housing member connected to the framework has two pairs of
parallel walls having laterally aligned elongate first slots and
laterally aligned elongate second slots, respectively. A clasping
mechanism inside the housing member has a shank portion and finger
members. First and second threaded orthogonal bores laterally extend
through the shank portion, a first threaded bolt extends through the
first slots and first threaded bore, and a second threaded bolt extends
through the second slots and second threaded bore. Rotating the first and
second bolts laterally displaces the clasping mechanism to align the
finger members with part of an anchoring fixture on the deck for
engagement by the finger members when a locking ring is appropriately
displaced. Several assemblies secured to the framework can be adjusted to
interconnect with permanently mounted anchoring fixtures in the deck.
