Abstract
A mount that enables a smart home device or directional speaker to be selectively positioned so as to optimize audibility.
Claims10
A mount for a smart device or directional speaker comprising:
- a device interface having a rear wall defining an opening with a periphery, a plurality of notches being defined in the periphery, the device interface further including a plurality of engaging ramps, each of the engaging ramps disposed adjacent to a separate one of the notches, and a plurality of resilient device receiving prongs projecting forwardly at an outer periphery of the rear wall, the device receiving prongs adapted to receive the smart device or directional speaker therebetween;
- and
- a structure interface comprising a body defining a periphery, the body having an aperture for receiving a fastener to attach the body to a wall of a structure, a plurality of engaging features projecting radially from the periphery of the body, the engaging features corresponding to the notches of the device interface and receivable therein, the structure interface being selectively rotatable relative to the device interface to engage the engaging features with the engaging ramps to attach the device interface to the structure interface.
A mount for a smart device or directional speaker comprising:
- a device interface having a rear wall and a plurality of resilient device receiving prongs projecting forwardly at an outer periphery of the rear wall, the device receiving prongs adapted to receive the smart device or directional speaker therebetween;
- a backing plate;
- a retainer plate;
- a biasing spring;
- a coupling pin defining a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a structure interface adapted to attach to a wall of a structure, the backing plate being disposed on a rear side of the structure interface, the retainer plate being disposed on a front side of the device interface, the backing plate and the retainer plate being operably coupled with the coupling pin, the biasing spring being disposed so as to bias the device interface toward the structure interface through the backing plate and the retainer plate, the device interface being selectively shiftable along the longitudinal axis defined by the coupling pin against the bias of the biasing spring between an engaged position in which the device interface abuts the structure interface and a disengaged position in which the device interface is spaced apart from the structure interface, the device interface being rotatable relative to the structure interface about the longitudinal axis when the device interface is in the disengaged position.
