Quick disconnect mount
A quick disconnect mount includes a mounting stud securable to a structure, and a connector securable on the mounting stud. The mounting stud includes at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough, and the connector includes a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a locking bar engageable with the circumferential trough.
1. A quick disconnect mount comprising:
a mounting stud securable to a structure, the mounting stud including at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough;
a connector securable on the mounting stud, the connector including a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a locking bar engageable with the circumferential trough, wherein the locking bar is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position; and
a pushbutton cooperable with the locking bar, the pushbutton when depressed displacing the locking bar from the extended position to the retracted position.
2. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one circumferential ridge defines a cam surface.
3. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 2 , wherein the locking bar is biased toward the extended position, and wherein the cam surface defined by the at least one circumferential ridge is positioned to displace the locking bar from the extended position to the retracted position as the connector is positioned over the mounting stud.
4. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the locking bar is biased toward the extended position by a spring.
5. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises an interior circumferential seal.
6. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a pair of upright posts extending away from the mounting stud, the upright posts defining a U-shaped channel.
7. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 6 , wherein the connector further comprises a bushing positioned in the U-shaped channel.
8. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the connector is rotatable on the mounting stud across 360 degrees.
9. The quick disconnect mount according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting stud comprises a single through hole, and wherein the quick disconnect mount further comprises a single connector extendable through the single through hole.
10. A support pole assembly comprising:
a support pole with a connecting end; and
a quick disconnect mount fixable to a structure and securing the support pole, the quick disconnect mount including:
a mounting stud securable to the structure, the mounting stud including at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough,
a connector securable on the mounting stud, the connector including a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a locking bar engageable with the circumferential trough, wherein the locking bar is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position, and
a pushbutton cooperable with the locking bar, the pushbutton when depressed displacing the locking bar from the extended position to the retracted position,
wherein the connecting end of the support pole is attached to the connector.
11. The support pole assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the connector comprises a pair of upright posts extending away from the mounting stud, the upright posts defining a U-shaped channel, and wherein the connecting end of the support pole is secured in the U-shaped channel.
12. The support pole assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the support pole is pivotable relative to the connector across at least 180 degrees, and wherein the connector is rotatable on the mounting stud across 360 degrees.
13. The support pole assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the connector further comprises a bushing positioned in the U-shaped channel, and wherein the connecting end of the support pole engages the bushing.
14. The support pole assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one circumferential ridge defines a cam surface.
15. The support pole assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the locking bar is biased toward the extended position, and wherein the cam surface defined by the at least one circumferential ridge is positioned to displace the locking bar from the extended position to the retracted position as the connector is positioned over the mounting stud.
16. A quick disconnect mount comprising:
a mounting stud securable to a structure, the mounting stud including at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough; and
a connector securable on the mounting stud, the connector including a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a circumferential locking bar, wherein the circumferential locking bar is shaped to conform to the circumferential trough and is engageable with the circumferential trough such that the circumferential locking bar at least partially surrounds the mounting stud.
