Abstract
A mounting system comprising a base and a media module for mounting and dismounting of storage media is disclosed herein. In general, the mounting system allows one or more media modules to be rapidly mounted and dismounted to and from various devices. The media module may comprise an enclosure for storing the storage media and a rotatable cap with an open portion to accept the enclosure. The enclosure may have one or more media guides and the cap may have one or more locking guides. The media guides may engage one or more pins of the base to align the enclosure with the base. This allows a communications connection to be formed between the storage media and a device. The locking guides may engage the pins to mount the enclosure to the base as the cap is rotated.

A mounting system for storage media comprising:
- a storage media configured to store video data;
- at least one connector in electrical communication with the storage media;
- an enclosure configured to contain the storage media, the enclosure comprising one or more guides, the one or more guides configured to align with one or more corresponding pins on a video data source or video data reader to align the at least one connector of the storage media with at least one corresponding connector on a video data source or video data reader;
- a cap comprising a top, one or more sides, an open portion opposing the top and one or more locking guides configured as part of the one or more sides, the open portion configured to accept at least a portion of the enclosure, the one or more locking guides configured to engage the one or more pins, wherein the cap is rotatably mounted to the enclosure;
- and
- a plate between the enclosure and the cap, the place configured in combination with the enclosure to form a space containing the storage media.
A mounting system for storage media comprising:
- an enclosure configured to store a storage media;
- one or more media guides on an outer surface of the enclosure, the one or more media guides configured to align at least one connector of the storage media with at least one device connector and to guide the connector to the at least one device connector to enable communication between the at least one connector of the storage media and the at least one device connector;
- a cap comprising a top, one or more sides, and an open portion opposite the top to accept the enclosure;
- one or more locking guides formed in the cap, the one or more locking guides having a first portion configured to align with the one or more media guides and a second portion configured to secure the enclosure to a base;
- and
- a mount between the cap and the enclosure, the mount configured to rotatably mount the cap to the enclosure, wherein the enclosure is mounted within the open portion of the cap.
A method of mounting a storage media to an electronic device having a base comprising:
- aligning one or more media guides of an enclosure of a media module with one or more pins of the base;
- aligning at least a portion of one or more locking guides of a cap of the media module with the one or more pins of the base;
- inserting at least a portion of the cap into a portion of the base, wherein a first portion of the one or more locking guides and the one or more media guides engage the one or more pins;
- rotating the cap in a first direction to move the one or more pins into a second portion of the one or more locking guides to mount the enclosure to the base, wherein the cap is rotated relative to the base and the enclosure;
- and
- while rotating the cap, also guiding the enclosure into the base with the one or more media guides, wherein at least one connector of the media module is guided to at least one device connector of the base to form a communication connection between the at least one connector and the at least one device connector.
