## Abstract

A bracket for mounting an electronic assembly comprises a base bracket for connection to a generally horizontal member or stationary support bar of a vehicle. A back member is coupled to the base bracket by one or more isolators. The back member has a set of first holes arranged in generally vertical array. A guide rail is attached to the back member. A slidable member is adapted for slidably engaging the guide rail. A support member comprises a shelf for supporting the electronic assembly and a support portion connected to the slidable member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bracket for mounting an electronic assembly or a location-determining receiver on a vehicle, the bracket comprising:
a base bracket for connection to a generally horizontal member of a vehicle;
one or more isolators;
a back member coupled to the base bracket by the one or more isolators, the back member having a plurality of first holes arranged in generally vertical array;
a guide rail (e.g., wedge bracket) attached to the back member;
a slidable member (e.g., wedge member) for slidably engaging the guide rail for releasing the electronic assembly or for a vertical adjustment of a height of the electronic assembly; and
a support member comprising a shelf for supporting the electronic assembly and a support portion connected to the slidable member.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bracket according to claim 1 further comprising a key for inserting into one of the first holes and a second hole in the slidable member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The bracket according to claim 2 wherein the key is resiliently biased to force the key into one of the first holes and the second hole.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The bracket according to claim 3 such that a user needs to overcome the bias force to release the key and change the height of the electronic assembly.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The bracket according to claim 1 wherein the isolator is composed of an elastomeric material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The bracket according to claim 1 wherein the isolator is composed of an elastomeric material with a fastener or threaded stud extending through a central portion of the elastomeric material.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The bracket according to claim 1 wherein the base bracket has a set of holes for connection of the based bracket to a tubular structure as the generally horizontal structure.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The bracket according to claim 1 wherein the shelf is secured to a bottom of a housing of the electronic assembly.
