  • Patent number: 10861303
    Abstract: A mount for a device includes a housing defining an interior space and including a distal exterior surface having an aperture connected to the interior space, a fastener configured to fasten to the device and disposed about a fastener axis, the fastener including a proximal portion positioned within the interior space of the housing and a distal portion extending through the aperture, the fastener being configured to move relative to the housing along the fastener axis in a distal-proximal direction and being prevented from substantially rotating about the fastener axis, and a biasing element attached to the proximal portion of the fastener, the biasing element configured to apply a force on the fastener in a proximal direction as the fastener moves in a distal direction relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10837840
    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented that detail a wall mounting system for a wireless sensor device, such as a wireless temperature sensor device. A flanged fastener that includes a first flange and a second flange may be present. The first flange can prevent the flanged fastener from being inserted more than a defined distance into a surface. The second flange may be removably insertable into a mounting hole present on a backplate of the wireless sensor. The system can further include a wireless sensor unit that includes the backplate. The wireless sensor is removably attachable to the flanged fastener while the flanged fastener is inserted into the surface.
