Yoke mount device holder
View Patent ↗A yoke mount device holder comprises a yoke attachment surface and a device interface surface. The yoke mount device holder attaches a device to a yoke of an aircraft. The yoke attachment surface is attached to the yoke via straps. Straps are passed through channels that are formed between the yoke attachment surface and the device interface surface. Fasteners attach the device to the device interface surface. In operation, a pilot attaches a device to the yoke mount device holder to the yoke of an aircraft. Next, the pilot can then attach and detach their device to the holder quickly and easily via the fasteners. The yoke mount device holder is universally mountable to any style yoke, increases the pilot's visibility, and does not weigh down the yoke as compared to conventional mounting devices. The yoke mount device holder is inexpensive to manufacture as compared to conventional mounting devices.
1. A method comprising:
attaching a yoke mount device holder to a yoke of an aircraft by passing straps through a channel formed between a yoke attachment surface and a device interface surface, wherein the yoke attachment surface and the device interface surface are part of the yoke mount device holder, wherein the yoke attachment surface is configured to attach to the yoke of the aircraft, wherein the device interface surface is configured to attach to a device or to a device case that retains the device, wherein the device interface surface and the yoke attachment surface are separated by at least one spacer that forms channels between the device interface surface and the yoke attachment surface, and wherein parts of the straps are disposed between the yoke attachment surface and the device interface surface; and
attaching the device to the device interface surface of the yoke mount device holder.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detaching the device from the device interface surface of the yoke mount device holder, wherein fasteners on the device and the device interface surface allow attachment and detachment of the device from the device interface surface.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
passing straps through any of the plurality of openings and channels to fasten the yoke mount device holder to the yoke of an aircraft in any desired orientation.
