Abstract
A mounting includes a connector connecting a first base to a second base so the first base can rotate about a first axis and the second base can rotate about a second axis. The connector includes aligned first links extending in parallel planes at right angles to the first axis and plural aligned second links extending in parallel planes at right angles to the second axis. Slots between the first and second links respectively receive, in an interleaved manner, (1) aligned third links of the first base, and (2) aligned fourth links of the second base. The first and second links extend in opposite directions from a central plate of the connector.
Claims25
A device for mounting a first structure on a second structure comprising:
- a first base adapted to have the first structure mounted thereon;
- a second base adapted to be mounted on the second structure;
- the first base including plural aligned first spaced links each extending in parallel planes oriented in a first direction so there is at least one first slot extending in the first direction between the first links;
- the second base including plural aligned second links, each extending in parallel planes oriented in a second direction so there is at least one second slot extending in the second direction between the second links;
- a connector connecting the first base to the second base, the connector including (a) plural aligned third spaced links each extending in parallel planes oriented in the first direction so there is at least one third slot extending in the first direction between the third links, and (b) plural aligned fourth spaced links each extending in parallel planes oriented in the second direction so there is at least one fourth slot extending in the second direction between the fourth links;
- the first and third links and first and third slots being interleaved with each other for enabling the first base to turn relative to the connector about a first axis at right angles to the first direction;
- the second and fourth links and second and fourth slots being interleaved with each other for enabling the second base to turn relative to the connector about a second axis at right angles to the second direction;
- a first fastener fastening the first base to the connector;
- and a second fastening the second base to the connector.
