A variable angle standoff in accordance with an implementation of the present invention includes one or more bearing interfaces, which, in concert with other beveled components (e.g., beveled rings), fastens about a wide range of panel and/or object dimensions. In one implementation, a threaded fastener is inserted through a first bearing interface, which interfaces with a first beveled ring. The threaded fastener further threads through one or more panel and/or object eyelets, through a second beveled ring, through a second bearing interface, and ultimately into a standoff shaft. Despite relatively tight fastening of the threaded fastener to the standoff shaft, the first and second beveled rings can accommodate object curvature by rotating in any of an X, Y, and/or Z dimension, as needed.
A variable angle standoff for securing an object, such as a panel, to a structure in a manner that accommodates dimensional variation in the object and in a manner that avoids causing potentially destructive stress to the object, comprising:
An adjustable standoff means for use in mounting curved resin panels to a support structure in a secure fashion without causing curves of the resin panels to crack or otherwise destruct, comprising:
