Abstract
A mount kit includes a first insertable part having a hollow, cylindrical body and a first plate part attached thereto. An upper surface of the first plate part includes a locking region with a particular shape and dimensions. A second insertable part includes an elongated body and a second plate part attached thereto. A lower surface of the second plate part includes a protrusion that extends away and has a location, shape and dimensions that correspond to those of the locking region. When the elongated body is inserted into a central opening of the first insertable part with the protrusion being inserted into the locking region, the protrusion fits securely and prevents the second insertable part from being turned.

A mount kit, comprising:
- (a) a first insertable part, comprising
- (1) a hollow, cylindrical body having an outer wall, at least part of the outer wall being threaded,
- (2) a first plate part attached to an end of the cylindrical body, and
- (3) a central opening that extends through the first plate part and through the cylindrical body to another end of the cylindrical body,
- (4) wherein
- (A) a lower surface of the first plate part faces the cylindrical body, and
- (B) an opposing upper surface of the first plate part faces away from the cylindrical body, and includes
- (i) a locking region formed at a predefined depth in the upper surface at a particular location on the upper surface and having a particular shape and particular dimensions;
- and
- (b) a second insertable part, comprising
- (1) an elongated body configured for insertion into the central opening of the first insertable part, and
- (2) a second plate part attached to an end of the elongated body, wherein
- (A) an upper surface faces away from the elongated body, and
- (B) an opposing lower surface faces the elongated body, and includes
- (i) a protrusion extending away from the lower surface and having a particular shape and particular dimensions that correspond to the particular shape and particular dimensions of the locking region, the protrusion being disposed at a particular location on the lower surface that corresponds to the particular location on the upper surface of the first plate part, such that
- (I) upon the elongated body of the second insertable part being inserted into the central opening of the first insertable part, the protrusion is insertable into the locking region and fits securely in the locking region and thereby prevents the second insertable part from being turned.

- and
- (c) a second insertable part configured for mounting the electronic device, and comprising
- (1) an elongated body configured for insertion into the central opening of the first insertable part, including
- (A) a pair of spring-like elements which extend from an outer wall of the elongated body at an end of the elongated body, wherein
- (B) upon the elongated body of the second insertable part being inserted into the central opening of the first insertable part, the pair of spring-like elements extend past the circular ring at the end of the cylindrical body and extend outward to secure a top surface of the spring-like elements against the circular ring of the cylindrical body, and
- (2) a circular-shaped second plate part attached to another end of the elongated body, wherein
- (A) an upper surface faces away from the elongated body, and
- (B) an opposing lower surface faces the elongated body, and includes
- (i) a protrusion extending away from the lower surface and having a particular shape and particular dimensions that correspond to the particular shape and particular dimensions of the locking region, the protrusion being one of a rectangular shaped block or pedestal, the locking region being a rectangular shaped opening having a particular length and width that correspond to a particular length and width of the block or pedestal, the protrusion being disposed at a particular distance from a center of the elongated body that is a same distance as a radius of the first plate part, such that
- (I) upon the elongated body of the second insertable part being inserted into the central opening of the first insertable part the protrusion is insertable into the locking region and fits securely in the locking region and thereby prevents the second insertable part from being turned.
