Abstract
A support assembly, method, and kit for holding items are described. A support assembly may include a mounting base and a support removably coupled to the mounting base. The mounting base may include a socket having a circumferentially undulating edge at least partially forming an internal head cavity. The mounting base may further include a through hole extending through the mounting base and the socket, the through hole in communication with the head cavity. A kit may include at least one mounting base as described and a plurality of interchangeable supports.
Claims30
A support assembly comprising:
- a mounting base comprising:
- a socket comprising at least two socket members at least partially forming an internal head cavity;
- a through hole extending through the mounting base and the socket, the through hole in communication with the head cavity, and the through hole comprising at least two shank notches between and separating the at least two socket members;
- a support removably coupled to the mounting base;
- and
- a lateral through gap extending between an outside edge of the mounting base and the internal head cavity for allowing the use of a variety of supports.
A support assembly comprising:
- a mounting base comprising:
- a protruding socket comprising four inwardly curved socket members each having a free end, the socket members at least partially forming a partially spherical internal head cavity;
- a through hole extending coaxially through the mounting base and the socket, the through hole in communication with the head cavity, and the through hole comprising four shank notches between and separating the socket members;
- a support removably coupled to the mounting base, the support comprising:
- a ball-shaped head removably pivotably supported in the internal head cavity;
- a shank coupled to the ball-shaped head and moveable into the shank notches;
- a lateral through gap extending between an outside edge of the mounting base and the internal head cavity for allowing the use of a variety of supports;
- and
- at least one holder coupled to the shank.
A support assembly comprising:
- a mounting base comprising:
- a protruding socket comprising a circumferentially undulating edge at least partially forming a partially spherical internal head cavity;
- a through hole extending through the mounting base and the socket, the through hole in communication with the internal head cavity;
- a support removably coupled to the mounting base;
- and
- a lateral through cap extending between an outside edge of the mounting base and the internal head cavity for allowing the use of a variety of supports.
A kit comprising:
- at least one mounting base comprising:
- a socket comprising at least two socket members at least partially forming an internal head cavity;
- and
- a through hole extending through the mounting base and the socket, the through hole in communication with the head cavity, and the through hole comprising at least two shank notches between and separating the at least two socket members;
- and
- a plurality of interchangeable supports for removably coupling to the at least one mounting base;
- and
- a lateral through gap extending between an outside edge of the at least one mounting base and the internal head cavity for allowing the use of a variety of supports.
