1. A position adjuster assembly for adjusting an axial position of an article mounted to an elongate member with a slip nut assembly when the slip nut assembly is locked in a defined axial position along the elongate member, said position adjuster assembly comprising:
a first member adapted to be mounted to the slip nut assembly, said first member defining a central aperture therein sized to receive the elongate member, said first member also comprising a threaded portion that is substantially concentric with the central aperture defined by said first member; and
a second member having a surface adapted to abut a portion of the article, said second member defining a central aperture therein sized to receive the elongate member, said second member also comprising a threaded portion that is substantially concentric with the central aperture defined by said second member and threadably engagable with the threaded portion of said first member so that relative rotation between said first and second members changes an axial distance between the surface of said second member and the slip nut assembly when the slip nut assembly is locked in the defined axial position along the elongate member.
 
12. A position adjuster assembly for adjusting an axial position of an article mounted to an elongate member with a slip nut assembly when the slip nut assembly is locked in a defined axial position along the elongate member, said position adjuster assembly comprising:
a lower member having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of said lower member being adapted to be fixedly mounted to the slip nut assembly, the top surface of said lower member having an externally-threaded portion extending upwardly therefrom, the externally-threaded portion defining a central aperture therein sized to receive the elongate member;
an upper member having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface of said upper member being adapted to abut a portion of the article, said upper member defining an internally-threaded central aperture therein sized to threadably engage the externally-threaded portion of said lower member so that relative rotation between said lower and upper members changes an axial distance between the top surface of said upper member and the slip nut assembly when the slip nut assembly is locked in the defined axial position; and
a jam nut defining an internally-threaded central aperture therein sized to threadably engage the externally-threaded portion of said lower member, said jam nut being rotatable on the externally-threaded portion of said lower member until said jam nut abuts said upper member thereby preventing relative rotation between said lower and upper members.
