  • Captive mounting hardware
    Patent number: 10082169
    Abstract: In embodiments, a mounting bracket may facilitate an attachment of a first device to an enclosure of a second device. A shoulder screw may be inserted through a grommet which is mounted in a bracket, and the shoulder screw may be threaded into an opening within the first device. The grommet may have an axial through-hole with a counter bore. A portion of the shoulder screw may be threaded to mate with a threaded opening of the first device and may be designed to compress the grommet for secure mounting. A raised cylindrical section on the shoulder of the screw may be captured within the counter bore of the grommet when pressed into position and another raised section of the shoulder may prevent the screw from being pulled out of the counter bore when the screw is unthreaded from the corresponding opening of the first device.
