Abstract
A mounting structure for radios which supports a radio in an opening in a wall or bulkhead of a boat in which a mounting member of a top and pair of side panels is made of plastic material in a substantially flat member which permits the side panel to be folded relative to the top for detachable engagement with a frame bordering the instrument panel of the radio. The frame and mounting are fastened to the radio by two fasteners for insertion as an assembly in the wall opening. The mounting structure shields the top and sides of the radio and protects it from spray and moisture. The mounting structure is provided with tabs to facilitate installation of the assembled radio and mounting structure.
Claims20
A radio mounting structure comprising:
- a frame having a rectilinear opening to receive the face of a radio instrument and adapted for fastening to a wall having an opening receiving said radio instrument;
- a support member having a top panel and a pair of side panels for engaging the top and opposed sides of a radio instrument and being detachably attached thereto;
- connector means having complementary attached portions associated with said frame and with said support member for connecting said mounting structure to said frame with side panels depending from said top panel;
- said frame, mounting structure and radio forming a rigid assembly insertable as a unit in an opening in a wall;
- and
- fastening means connecting said frame of said assembly to said wall.
A mounting structure for radios comprising:
- a frame member having a rectilinear opening to frame the face of a radio said frame having a tongue connector formed at its perimeter of said rectilinear opening;
- a unitary support member having a top panel and side panels formed as a unit to cover the top and opposite sides of the radio;
- said support member having a groove connector formed at forward edges of said top panel and side panels;
- said tongue connector and groove being complementary to each other and operative to engage and hold said frame member connected to said support member;
- and
- openings formed by said side panels to receive threaded fasteners into a radio to form a rigid assembly ready for attachment as a unit in an opening in a wall.
