  • Pole mount for portable canopy assembly
    Patent number: 8567423
    Abstract: A pole mount is adapted for locating an elongated pole adjacent a supporting surface. The pole mount includes an enlarged base with an elongated flexible neck. The flexible neck has a proximal end adjacent the base, and a distal end extending outwardly substantially perpendicular to the base. The neck may define a range of universal flexibility between its proximal and distal ends. The distal end of the neck defines an open top adapted for receiving a free end of the elongated pole. A cam lever operates to releasably lock the free end of the elongated pole inside the flexible neck of the pole mount.
