An improved mount characterized by an elongated pedestal, having a base end portion and a distal end portion mounting instrument packages and the like, a load transmitting leg coaxially aligned with the pedestal adapted to extend into load bearing engagement with a support surface, and a plurality of uniformly spaced stabilizing legs pivotally connected to the pedestal, at its base end portion, adapted to be extended from a stowed configuration wherein the legs are extended in substantial parall...

A mounting assembly comprises a mounting element for attachment to a surface, a cap engaged with the mounting element for angular movement relative thereto and having a slot therein through which extends an arm of a support member, there being at one end of the arm a ball which is received in a socket defined between the cap and the mounting element. A coupling nut is engagable with the mounting element so that in a first, tightened state, the nut locks the cap in its selected angular orientatio...

A mount for a tubular supporting rail of a marine vessel for securing an antenna to the mount by means of an antenna ferrule. The mount includes clamping elements adapted to be secured to the supporting rail and carrying a threaded securing post, one clamping element has a cylindrical end to rotatably mount an L-shaped hollow rotary member that is mounted to the cylindrical end of the one clamping element and is rotatably positioned thereto. The L-shaped member includes an outwardly extending mo...

A mount for strip indexes and the like is a one-piece moulding in plastics material, e.g., polypropylene having a rectangular central planar part for supporting a strip or the like held by the mount, an overhanging ledge on each of the edges of the central part to entrap the ends of the strips, and means available for mounting the mount in an assembly such as a loose-leaf binder. The sheet portion is made foraminate or perforatable so that its area may be sub-divided by plugging a divider strip ...

A combination viscous and resilient type of mount comprises a rigid boss adapted to be connected to a moving component such as an reciprocating engine, an annular flange adapted to be connected to a stationary support, a resilient element connected between the boss and the annular flange to resiliently supporting the moving component relative to the stationary support, the resilient element having a frustconical shape, a deformable element cooperating with the resilient element to define a chamb...

A mount for connecting two relative-vibratable objects has two resilient elements and a signal actuated clutch for connecting the objects. The clutch is in parallel with one of the resilient elements and in parallel with the other. A sensor senses the vibrations applied across the mount and actuates the clutch in response thereto to change the transfer function of the mount. Appropriately controlling the engagement/disengagement actuation of the clutch in this way makes it possible to avoid the ...

A mounting system for a display such as a flat panel computer monitor or television includes a linkage of individual elements which are pivotally connected together with adjustable drag tapered bearings. Each tapered bearing allows individual elements to pivot with respect to one another about an axis defined by the tapered bearing, so that the display can be moved to a variety of different positions. By tightening the adjustable drag, the tapered bearing can lock the elements together.

A moveable mount for truck tailgate hinges is presented. The mount comprises a base bent near one end which is coupled to the side of the truck and has a hinge pin at its opposite end. The mount may be held away from the side of the truck thereby securely holding the hinges of the tailgate in position in a first locked mode. In a second unlocked mode, the mount end comprising the hinge pin 20 is moved closer to the side of the truck, thereby permitting easy removal of the tailgate of the truck.

A motor unit for boats featuring an improved mounting structure. The mount of the motor is such to render it self-adjusting as to its orientation under conditions of changing thrust. The advantages of the invention are particularly evidenced under conditions of sudden and pronounced acceleration, under with conditions the motor will self-orient to stabilize the related boat and thereby avoid a substantially increased drag.

For setting a photographic objective to a specific object distance, the objective is provided with an inner lens barrel (2) wherein a plurality of lenses are mounted, and with an outer range adjustment ring (5). The lens barrel moves back and forward in axial direction upon rotation of the adjustment ring (8). A cam ring having its cam extending in axial backward direction is coaxially mounted around the lens barrel for joint back and forward movement. Mechanical means (6) interconnect the cam r...
