Abstract
A mount secures an object to sheets of material with one or more material thicknesses. The mount includes an inner plate and an outer plate. The outer plate includes a coupler for the object and one or more contact surfaces associated with one or more material thicknesses. The inner plate includes a retention structure to engage a contact surface of the outer plate. The outer plate may comprise a locking element to A mounting system includes a mount and a coupler integrated with the object to be secured to a sheet of material. The object may be a camera and the mount may be a camera mount.
Claims21
A mount for multiple material thicknesses, comprising:
- an outer plate including:
- a coupler configured to physically connect the outer plate to an object;
- a moveable first locking element;
- a base, wherein the first locking element is moveably connected to the base;
- a first contact surface;
- and
- a second contact surface;
- and
- an inner plate including a first retention structure, wherein the first retention structure is configured to separately engage:
- the first contact surface in a first orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate;
- and
- the second contact surface in a second orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate, and wherein, in accordance with a change in position of the first locking element relative to the base, the first locking element:
- selectively engages the inner plate in the first orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate to lock the outer plate to the inner plate in the first orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate;
- and
- selectively engages the inner plate in the second orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate to lock the outer plate to the inner plate in the second orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate.

A mounting system for multiple material thicknesses, comprising:
- an outer plate including:
- a first coupler configured to physically connect the outer plate to an object;
- a locking element moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- a first contact surface;
- and
- a second contact surface;
- an inner plate selectively locked to the outer plate via the locking element, the inner plate including a first retention structure, wherein the first retention structure is configured to separately engage:
- the first contact surface in a first orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate;
- and
- the second contact surface in a second orientation of the outer plate relative to the inner plate;
- and
- the object comprising a second coupler, the second coupler configured to connect to the first coupler to secure the object to the outer plate, wherein at least one surface of the object prevents the locking element from moving from the locked position to the unlocked position when the second coupler is connected to the first coupler.
