Locking Mount for Set Top Box

A locking mount for a set top box or other electrical device comprising:

• a base, rectangular in shape, having a first end, a second end, a front end, a back end, a top surface and a bottom surface, said base having at least two integral springy retainers which protrude bilaterally therefrom to engage the bottom surface of a set top box or other electronic device;
• two flanges which extend outwardly from said first end and said second end, respectively, perpendicular to said base and parallel to each other, said flanges having lips whose free edges project inwardly toward each other and parallel to the top surface of said base, the two flanges being spaced a sufficient distance from each other and the lips being spaced a sufficient distance from the top surface of the base to define a channel for receiving a set top box or similar electronic device;
• a plurality of mounting holes formed through the top surface and the bottom surface of said base for mounting to a surface with fastening means and a front stop edge which extends outwardly a sufficient distance perpendicular to said base along the length of the front end of said base to preclude the device being secured from extending past the front end of the base but not so far as to preclude normal operation of the set top box or similar device.
