Portable mount for radios in motor vehicles

Abstract

The disclosure is a quickly and easily attachable and detachable portable mount for radios in automotive vehicles which have a floor hump defining a drive-shaft tunnel. The mount has a base lamina overlying the hump and has at least one lateral lamina hingedly attached to each lateral edge of the base lamina. The laminae straddle and embrace the hump and are made quickly and easily attachable to, and detachable from, the hump by the use of marginally attached strips of tape having minute hooks projecting from its face. The minute hooks firmly grip the nap or loops of the usual carpet covering the floor of the vehicle. The base lamina has attached thereto a support structure formed from a relatively stiff sheet of metal or plastic bent to define an inclined panel adapted to underlie the case of a (citizens' band) radio, and an upright panel to support the elevated edge of the inclined panel. The inclined panel is slotted for adjustable attachment of L-shaped brackets adapted to be bolted thereto and to the radio case. Both panels are perforated for transmission of sound downwardly and outwardly therethrough.
