Adjustable mounting and security device for appliances

A device for mounting an appliance on a support urface or arm, comprising:

• a base with upper and lower portions forming an interior compartment, said upper portion constituting a supporting platform for the appliance and said lower portion adapted to be secured to the support surface or arm;
• two side brackets disposed at opposite sides of said base, at least one of said brackets being adapted for slidable insertion into said interior compartment;
• means for developing a frictional or adhesive force between said brackets and the appliance;
• and
• means for adjusting the spacing of said brackets to conform to the size of the appliance, said adjusting means including a first threaded fastener which is insertable through said bracket and is secured to a second threaded fastener mounted in said compartment, and said adjusting means further being adapted to provide a clamping force along an axis parallel to said first threaded fastener and parallel to a line running between said side brackets.

A device for mounting an appliance to a support structure, comprising:

• a base having two sections which define an interior compartment, one of said sections adapted to receive the appliance and the other of said sections adapted to be secured to the support structure;
• at least two side brackets disposed at opposite ends of said base, each of said brackets having a generally horizontal portion adapted to be slidably insertable within said compartment and a generally vertical portion;
• a first set of at least two threaded fasteners, each of said threaded fasteners insertable through each of said side brackets and into said compartment, for urging said brackets toward said appliance to provide a clamping force on said appliance along the length of said first set of threaded fasteners;
• at least two frictional or adhesive pads, each of said pads having opposing faces, one of said faces of each of said pads adapted to contact or attach to the sides of the appliance, and the other face of each of said pads adapted to attach to each of said generally vertical portions of said brackets;
• and
• a second set of threaded fasteners disposed within said compartment for cooperating with said first set of at least two threaded fasteners to secure said side brackets to the sides of said appliance.

• and
• a second set of threaded fasteners disposed within said compartment for cooperating with said first set of threaded fasteners to secure said side
• brackets to the sides of the appliance.

A device for mounting an appliance to a support structure, comprising:

• a base including at least one horizontal portion and sidewalls, said base thereby forming a closed interior space;
• at least two side brackets disposed at opposite ends of said base, each of said brackets including at least a generally vertical portion;
• at least one of said side brackets being insertable into said space and being adjustably connected to said base by at least one horizontally directed first fastener, said first fastener being insertable through said side bracket and into said space for urging said bracket toward the appliance to provide a clamping force on said appliance along the length of said first fastener;
• at least one second fastener disposed within said space for cooperating with said first fastener to adjustably secure at least one of said side brackets to the sides of the appliance;
• at least two frictional or adhesive pads, each of said pads having opposing faces, one of said faces of each of said pads adapted to contact or attach to the sides of the appliance, and the other face of each of said pads connected to each of said generally vertical portions of said brackets;
• and
• a locking means cooperative with said first fastener for providing security
• against theft of the appliance.

A device for mounting an appliance to a support structure, comprising:

• a horizontally disposed and longitudinally extending base having a closed interior space;
• at least two side brackets disposed at opposite ends of said base, each of said brackets including at least a generally vertical portion;
• at least one of said side brackets also including a generally horizontal portion insertable into said space and being adjustably connected to said base by at least one horizontally directed first fastener cooperating with at least one second fastener disposed within said space, said first fastener being insertable through said side bracket and into said space for urging said bracket toward the appliance to provide a clamping force on said appliance along the length of said first fastener;
• and
• at least two frictional or adhesive pads, each of said pads having opposing faces, one of said faces of each of said pads adapted to contact or attach to the sides of the appliance, and the other face of each of said pads connected to one of said vertical portions of said brackets.
