Abstract
A system for mounting a device such as a display device (e.g., a monitor) inside a cab of a utility vehicle having generally vertically extending pillars supporting a cab roof structure. The system has one or more first support elements designed to extend generally horizontally between two pillars and one or more second support elements designed to extend generally vertically from the roof structure to support the first element or elements in position between the pillars. Attachment mechanisms are carried on one or more of the support elements for supporting one or more display devices or other devices.

A mounting system for mounting a device inside a cab of a utility vehicle, where the cab has a plurality of vertically extending pillars supporting a cab roof structure, the mounting system comprising:
- at least one first support element configured to extend between, and be coupled to, two of the pillars;
- at least one second support element configured to extend from the roof structure and be coupled to the at least one first element to support the at least one first element in position between the pillars wherein ends of the first and second support elements each have a fastener for securing the ends of the support elements to at least one structure selected from the group consisting of the pillars, the roof structure, and another of the first and second support elements, wherein at least one of the fasteners comprises a pivot to enable variation of an angle of a respective support element relative to the component to which it is secured;
- and
- attachment apparatus carried on at least one of the support elements and configured for supporting the device.
A utility vehicle having an operator's cab having a plurality of vertically extending pillars supporting a cab roof structure and a mounting system for mounting a device inside the cab, the mounting system comprising:
- at least one first support element configured to extend between, and be coupled to, two of the pillars;
- at least one second support element configured to extend from the roof structure and be coupled to the at least one first element to support the at least one first element in position between the pillars, wherein the second support element is elongate having opposed ends, an uppermost end of the second support element being mounted to an elongate member of the roof structure extending in a direction between the pillars to which the first support element is mounted, and wherein a lower end of the second support element is attached to the first support element, and wherein a connection between the lower end and the first support element is configured to allow the position of the lower end to be adjusted in a lengthwise direction of the first support element;
- and
- attachment apparatus carried on at least one of the support elements and configured for supporting the device.
A mounting system for mounting a device inside a cab of a utility vehicle, where the cab has a plurality of vertically extending pillars supporting a cab roof structure, the mounting system comprising:
- at least one first support element configured to extend between, and be coupled to, two of the pillars;
- at least one second support element configured to extend from the roof structure and be coupled to the at least one first element to support the at least one first element in position between the pillars;
- and
- attachment apparatus carried on at least one of the support elements and configured for supporting the device;
- wherein ends of the first and second support elements each have a fastener for securing the ends of the support elements to at least one structure selected from the group consisting of the pillars, the roof structure, and another of the first and second support elements;
- wherein at least one fastener comprises:
- a main body configured to engage an associated track on a pillar, roof structure, or connected support element;
- a first clamping system configured for clamping the main body to the associated track in a selected operating position;
- an arm mounted for pivoting about a first axis on the main body and secured to an end of an associated support element;
- and
- a second clamping system configured for clamping the arm in a set pivoted position about the first axis relative to the main body.
