Abstract
Described is a ceiling mount for a device comprising a channel member and a latch. The channel member includes a side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of a housing of the device and a horizontal surface extending for a second predetermined distance away from the side surface in a direction substantially parallel to the top surface to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the horizontal surface and the top surface. The latch is rotatably attached to the top surface. The latch defines a second ceiling member receiving channel between the latch and the top surface, so that when rotated, the latch covers the second ceiling member receiving channel.
Claims14
A ceiling mount for a device, comprising:
- a channel member including a side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of a housing of the device and a horizontal surface extending for a second predetermined distance away from the side surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the horizontal surface and the top surface;
- and
- a latch rotatably attached to the top surface, the latch defining a second ceiling member receiving channel between the latch and the top surface, so that when rotated, the latch covers the second ceiling member receiving channel,
- wherein the device is one of an access point, a switch, a router, a hub, a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide detector and a speaker.
A mountable electronic assembly, comprising:
- a device;
- and
- a mounting bracket coupled to the device, the bracket including a channel member and a latch, the channel member including a side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of the bracket and a horizontal surface extending for a second predetermined distance away from the side surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the horizontal surface and the top surface, the latch rotatably attached to the top surface and defining a second ceiling member receiving channel between the latch and the top surface, so that when rotated, the latch covers the second ceiling member receiving channel,
- wherein the device is one of an access point, a switch, a router, a hub, a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide detector and a speaker.
A ceiling mount, comprising:
- a channel member including a side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of the mount and a horizontal surface extending a second predetermined distance away from the side surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the horizontal surface and the top surface;
- a latch rotatably attached to the top surface, the latch defining a second ceiling member receiving channel between the latch and the top surface, so that when rotated, the latch covers the second ceiling member receiving channel;
- and
- an attachment mechanism securing a device to a bottom surface of the mount,
- wherein the device is one of an access point, a switch, a router, a hub, a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide detector and a speaker.
