Abstract
A vehicular mounted rail system may provide a rail, base(s), and rail adapter that are configured to be assembled and mounted to a structural member (e.g., dashboard) of a vehicle so as to enable a user to support an electronic device by the structural member.
Claims30
A mounting system for supporting an electronic device, the system comprising:
- a mount defining a first opening, the mount including an elongated member that defines a rail and includes a base and a plurality of sidewalls extending from the base, the plurality of sidewalls including a pair of parallel sidewalls spaced apart from one another, at least one sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls defining a side surface that is inwardly angled from a reference plane along which a surface of the base extends;
- an adapter including a first feature configured to be supported by the mount, the first feature configured to mate with the mount to prevent relative rotation between the mount and the adapter;
- and
- a base component configured to enable securing the mount to a structural feature of a system in which the mounting system is being transported while supporting the electronic device, the base component defining a second opening that aligns with the first opening of the mount to enable the mount to be connected to the base component.

An adapter for use in a mounting system for supporting an electronic device, comprising:
- an adapter feature;
- a shaft having a first axial end and a second axial end, the first axial end connected to the adapter feature;
- a base connected to the second axial end of the shaft;
- a feature coupled to the base and configured to mate with a mount to prevent rotation of the base relative to the mount, the feature including a protrusion defining a bottom surface and a plurality of side surfaces that are inwardly angled relative to the bottom surface;
- and
- an opening extending from an axial end and an axial center of the base, through the shaft, and into the adapter feature.

An adapter for use in a mounting system for supporting an electronic device, comprising:
- a spherical adapter feature;
- a shaft having a first axial end and a second axial end, the first axial end connected to the spherical adapter feature;
- a base connected to the second axial end of the shaft;
- and
- a feature coupled to the base and configured to mate with a mount to prevent rotation of the base relative to the mount, the feature including a protrusion defining a bottom surface and a plurality of side surfaces that are inwardly angled relative to the bottom surface.
