Abstract

Example embodiments provide a device that includes a support plate having a flat base portion and an elongated portion which extends perpendicular to the flat base portion, and a housing embodying one or more of a microphone and a speaker, and a housing backside having a set of screw holes configured to receive a set of screws to secure the support plate flat base portion to be flush mounted against the housing.

Claims (22)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a housing embodying one or more of a microphone and a speaker; and

a support plate comprising a base portion and an elongated portion that comprises a bolt with a hollow center, and a slot opening that extends from a top of the bolt to a surface area of the base portion to permit an object to pass through the elongated portion, and wherein the slot opening is also present on a portion of a surface area of the base portion; and

a nut plate affixed to the bolt of the elongated portion of the support plate, wherein the nut plate comprises-a another slot opening in a portion of a threaded center of the nut plate, and wherein the another slot opening is also present across a portion of a surface area of the nut plate such that the slot opening of the support plate is aligned with the another slot opening of the nut plate.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a backside with a set of screw holes configured to receive a set of screws to secure the base portion to be mounted against the housing.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot opening on the nut plate in the threaded center of the nut plate comprises screw threads.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot opening on the elongated portion provides a passageway for a cable to pass through into the elongated portion when the nut plate is affixed onto the elongated portion.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base portion is flat.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot opening on the elongated portion extends uniformly from the top of the bolt.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the object is permitted to pass through the elongated portion into a recessed portion of the housing.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot opening extends from the top of the bolt to an outer surface area of the base portion.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a housing embodying one or more of a microphone and a speaker; and

a first plate comprising a base portion and an elongated portion that comprises a bolt with a hollow center, and a slot opening that extends from a top of the bolt to a surface area of the base portion to permit an object to pass through the elongated portion, and wherein the slot opening is also present on a portion of a surface area of the base portion; and

a second plate affixed to the bolt of the elongated portion of the first plate, wherein the second plate comprises-a another slot opening in a portion of a threaded center of the second plate, and wherein the another slot opening is also present across a portion of a surface area of the second plate such that the slot opening of the first plate is aligned with the another slot opening of the second plate.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the housing comprises a backside with a set of screw holes configured to receive a set of screws to secure the base portion to be mounted against the housing.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the slot opening on the second plate in the threaded center of the second plate comprises screw threads.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the slot opening on the elongated portion provides a passageway for a cable to pass through into the elongated portion when the second plate is affixed onto the elongated portion.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the base portion is flat.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the slot opening on the elongated portion extends uniformly from the top of the bolt.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the object is permitted to pass through the elongated portion into a recessed portion of the housing.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the slot opening extends from the top of the bolt to an outer surface area of the base portion.
