  • Patent number: 10376723
    Abstract: A mounting assembly having a base, a bracket body, and a key is disclosed. The base may have an attachment portion to attach the base to a structure, the attachment portion having an attachment surface extending along a first axis, and one or more base keyholes. The bracket body may have an object receiving portion to attach an object to the bracket body, and one or more bracket body keyholes. The bracket body may be non-rotatably coupled to the base so that the one or more base keyholes are aligned with the one or more bracket body keyholes with one or more pins of the key disposed therein, and the pins of the key may inhibit rotation of a handle of the key. Upon removal of the key from the mounting assembly, the base and the bracket body are configured to quickly uncouple, freeing the object from the structure.
