Device mount with releasable attachment and adjustable rotation
A device is disclosed that provides secure and releasable connection between a mount and a display device where corresponding structural elements on the mount and a receptor hollow disposed on the display device provide for alternate attachment where the connected structures can be rotated in increments of ninety degrees and consistently and releasably connected. A second axis of rotation is provided around a pivot bolt that can be adjusted or fixed with a threaded adjustment nut.
1. A device mount for releasable attachment comprising:
a mount comprising a mount opening wherein a first side of said mount opening is defined by a first retaining tab and a second side of said mount opening is defined by a second retaining tab;
said first retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a first entrance chamfer;
said second retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a second entrance chamfer;
said mount opening further comprises a first corner defined by a first corner guide and a second corner defined by a second corner guide;
a friction extension extending from said mount and comprising a pivot recess;
a restriction extension extending from said mount and comprising a restriction recess;
a stand extending upward from a base wherein said stand comprises a stand recess configured to receive a pivot bolt also extending through said restriction recess and said stand recess; and
said pivot bolt engages a threaded adjustment nut where rotation of said threaded adjustment nut prevents rotation of said mount relative to said stand.
2. The device mount of claim 1 wherein said pivot bolt comprises a pivot bolt head configured in the shape of a polygon and said restriction recess is configured to match said pivot bolt head and prevent rotation of said pivot bolt relative to said restriction recess, said restriction extension, and said mount.
3. The device mount of claim 1 wherein said mount opening further comprises a third side defined by a third retaining tab and a fourth side defined by a fourth retaining tab.
4. The device mount of claim 3 wherein said mount opening further comprises a third corner defined by a third corner guide and a fourth corner defined by a fourth corner guide.
5. The device mount of claim 4 wherein said base is configured to receive a magnet and a retaining hook is configured to retain said magnet within a magnet boss.
6. The device mount of claim 4 wherein:
said third retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a third entrance chamfer; and
said fourth retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a fourth entrance chamfer.
7. The device mount of claim 6 wherein;
said first retaining tab comprises a first retaining tab hook disposed adjacent said first entrance chamfer;
said second retaining tab comprises a second retaining tab hook disposed adjacent said second entrance chamfer;
said third retaining tab comprises a third retaining tab hook disposed adjacent said third entrance chamfer; and
said fourth retaining tab comprises a fourth retaining tab hook disposed adjacent said fourth entrance chamfer.
8. A device mount in combination with a display device, the device mount comprising:
a mount comprising a mount opening wherein a first side of said mount opening is defined by a first retaining tab and a second side of said mount opening is defined by a second retaining tab;
said first retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a first entrance chamfer;
said second retaining tab is configured for deflection towards said mount opening and comprises a second entrance chamfer;
said mount opening further comprises a first corner defined by a first corner guide and a second corner defined by a second corner guide;
the display device comprising a receptor hollow configured for releasable connection to said mount; and
said receptor hollow defined at least in part by a first wall chamfer and a second wall chamfer and a first receptor chamfer and a second receptor chamfer.
9. The device mount in combination with the display device of claim 8 wherein said receptor hollow is configured to releasably attach the retaining tabs of said mount when said receptor hollow is rotated any multiple of 90 degrees.
10. The device mount in combination with the display device of claim 8 , the device mount further comprising:
a friction extension extending from said mount and comprising a pivot recess;
a restriction extension extending from said mount and comprising a restriction recess;
a stand extending upward from a base wherein said stand comprises a stand recess configured to receive a pivot bolt also extending through said restriction recess and said stand recess; and
said pivot bolt engages a threaded adjustment nut where rotation of said threaded adjustment nut prevents rotation of said mount relative to said stand.
