  • Patent number: 8511629
    Abstract: A mounting device for mounting an object on a support includes a base configured to be coupled to the support, and a slide arm coupled to the base and movable between a retracted position and a plurality of extended positions. The slide arm is movable from any of the plurality of extended positions to the retracted position by sliding the slide arm relative to the base without any other manipulation of the mounting device by the user. The slide arm automatically locks relative to the base when the slide arm is moved to the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 8427826
    Abstract: A computer docking station includes a wall having a first surface, a second surface, and an aperture extending through the wall. A securing member has a body portion configured to be positioned adjacent the first surface of the wall, and a securing projection coupled to the body portion. The securing projection is sized and configured to selectively extend through the aperture in the wall, beyond the second surface, and into a securement recess of a computer to secure the computer to the docking station. An adjustment mechanism is coupled with the body portion of the securing member and is operable to move the securing member relative to the wall between a first position, in which the securing projection is positioned to extend into a securement recess of the computer, and a second position, in which the securing projection is positioned to not extend into the securement recess.
