Abstract: A mount is fixed to the floor of a vehicle, and supports a computer/display unit by means of an indexing cylinder assembly. The computer/display unit can be rotated horizontally in steps about the indexing cylinder assembly so that it can be easily positioned for use by the driver or the passenger in the vehicle. The computer/display unit can be adjusted vertically to suit the needs of the user while not interfering with the user's ability to see the road. The indexing cylinder may be mounted on either side of an upright member so as to provide selection of left or right positioning of the computer equipment. A bearing rod runs up the side of a computer equipment holding frame, and can be used to adjust the pressure point on the dashboard, thereby providing stabilization of the computer equipment.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a data device which is mountable on the steering wheel of a vehicle. The device for mounting the data device on the steering wheel of the vehicle comprises a T-shaped arrangement including a member or members extending perpendicularly from the periphery of a frame of the data device, and connected to a further member disposed horizontally and in parallel with the periphery of the frame, that is, parallel to the width of the data device. As a result, the occupant of a vehicle is provided with the capability of quickly mounting the data device on, and quickly dismounting the data device from, the steering wheel of the vehicle. The data device is mounted on the steering wheel in such a manner as to provide for stability of the data device during its use.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for mounting a computer system in a vehicle provides for rigid mounting of a computer/display unit in the vehicle so as to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of vibration caused by operation of the vehicle. The latter advantage is achieved by provision of a gas spring and crank arm arrangement connected to an L-bar, the latter being mounted via its lower, horizontal member to a base plate of the vehicle. The apparatus and method also provide superior flexibility in orientation of the keyboard for use by any occupant of the front of the vehicle. The latter advantage is achieved by mounting the keyboard to the L-bar via a rigid arm having two points of rotation, one point of rotation at its point of connection to the L-bar, and another point of rotation at its point of connection to the keyboard.
