Abstract
A mount assembly includes a stage including a base and one or more sidewalls extending upward from the base to define an elongated channel, and a holder including an elongated body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, a bracket extending upward from the elongated body at the first end portion, and a foot extending upward from the elongated body at the second end portion. The elongated body is positionable within the elongated channel. An inspection device is extendable between the bracket and the foot.
Claims20
A mount assembly for use with an inspection device, the mount assembly comprising:
- a stage including a base and one or more sidewalls extending upward from the base to define an elongated channel;
- and
- a holder including an elongated body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, a bracket extending upward from the elongated body at the first end portion, and a foot extending upward from the elongated body at the second end portion, wherein the inspection device is extendable between the bracket and the foot, the elongated body positionable within the elongated channel.
A system comprising:
- an inspection device including a control section and an elongated tube coupled to the control section;
- and
- a mount assembly coupleable to the inspection device, the mount assembly comprising:
- a stage including a base and one or more sidewalls, the one or more sidewalls extending upward from the base to define an elongated channel;
- and
- a holder including an elongated body, a bracket coupled to the elongated body, and a foot coupled to the elongated body, the elongated body having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, the bracket extending upward from the elongated body at the first end portion, the foot extending upward from the elongated body at the second end portion, wherein the elongated body positionable within the elongated channel, and wherein the inspection device is extendable between the bracket and the foot.
A method of mounting an inspection device, the method comprising:
- positioning a stage in a desired location, the stage including a base and one or more sidewalls extending upward from the base to define an elongated channel;
- and
- positioning an elongated body of a holder in the elongated channel to couple the holder to the stage, the holder including a bracket extending upward from a first end portion of the elongated body and a foot extending upward from a second end portion of the elongated body;
- and
- extending the inspection device between the bracket and the foot to couple the inspection device to the holder.
