Accessory mount for environmental surface

An accessory mount comprising:

• a base assembly configured to be supported in relation to a mounting surface,
• an accessory assembly releasable from the base assembly, the accessory assembly being engageable with an accessory, and
• an actuator rotationally engageable with the base assembly and operable to prevent the accessory assembly from being released from the base assembly, the actuator being biased towards first, second and third positions by a spring tab supported in relation to the accessory assembly,
• wherein a safety release is configured to cooperate with the actuator and the spring tab to prevent movement of the actuator to the first position unless the safety release is operated prior to or simultaneously with the actuator.

An accessory mount comprising:

• a base assembly configured to be supported in relation to a mounting surface,
• an accessory assembly releasable from the base assembly, the accessory assembly being engageable with an accessory, and
• an actuator rotationally engageable with the base assembly and operable to prevent the accessory assembly from being released from the base assembly, wherein a lever is operable in three positions, including a first position to prevent the accessory assembly from being released from the base assembly and a second position to allow the accessory assembly to be released from the base assembly,
• wherein the actuator comprises threads engageable with the base assembly, wherein upon rotating the actuator, the threads raise and lower the accessory assembly, and wherein rotating the actuator to a third position raises the accessory assembly to disengage teeth on the accessory assembly and teeth on the base assembly and allow rotation of the accessory assembly in relation to the base assembly.

An accessory mount comprising

• a base assembly,
• an accessory assembly releasable from the base assembly, and
• a rotatable actuator supported in relation to the accessory assembly and rotatable between at least three positions including a first position to prevent the accessory assembly from being removed from the base assembly and prevent rotation of the accessory assembly in relation to the base assembly, a second position to prevent the accessory assembly from being removed from the base assembly and permit rotation of accessory assembly in relation to the base assembly, and a third position to permit the accessory assembly to be removed from the base assembly, and
• a safety release configured to cooperate with the actuator to prevent movement of the actuator to the first position unless operated prior to or simultaneously with the actuator.

An accessory mount comprising:

• a base assembly configured to be supported in relation to a mounting surface,
• an accessory assembly engageable with an accessory,
• a rotatable actuator engageable with the base assembly and rotatable in progressive positions, including a first position wherein the accessory assembly is locked in place with the base assembly to prevent the accessory assembly from being released from the base assembly, a second position wherein the accessory assembly is prevented from being removed from the base assembly and is permitted to be rotationally adjustable in relation to the base assembly, and a third position wherein the accessory assembly is releasable and reengageable with the base assembly, and
• a safety release configured to cooperate with the actuator to prevent movement of the actuator to the first position unless operated prior to or simultaneously with the actuator.

An accessory mount comprising:

• a base,
• an accessory releasable from the base, and
• an actuator operable in at least three positions, inducing a first position wherein the actuator permits the accessory to be removed from the base, a second position wherein the actuator cooperates with the accessory and the base to prevent the accessory from being removed from the base and permits rotational adjustment of the accessory in relation to the base, and a third position whereto the actuator cooperates with the accessory and the base to prevent the accessory from being removed from the base and to restrict rotation of accessory in relation to the base,
• wherein a spring tab cooperates with corresponding surfaces on the actuator to load the spring tab to cause the actuator to assume one of first, second and third angular positions about an axis of rotation.
