Abstract
A set of connecting elements and mounting elements are provided with split openings and clamping means arranged selected distances apart and at selected orientations so that these elements may be attached to rods to form a multidimensional frame for mounting laboratory and experimenting equipment. Adjustable mounting devices are provided with three point supports centrally arranged on the mounting elements adjacent to apertures therein so that optical elements and other such devices may be supported on the mounting elements and so that the axes of such devices may be tipped or displaced as required for a particular situation.
Claims11
A multi-dimensional apparatus for mounting optical and other components, said apparatus comprising a plurality of rods, a plurality of connecting elements having split openings for receiving the rods and having clamping means for releasably fixedly engaging the connecting elements with the rods received by the split openings of the connecting elements, and a plurality of mounting elements also having split openings for receiving the rods and also having clamping means for releasably fixedly engaging the mounting elements with the rods received by the split openings of the mounting elements, each of said mounting elements further having an adjustable mounting device for mounting an optical or other component on the mounting element and for adjusting the axis of that component while the mounting element is fixedly engaged with the rods.
