Patent number: 11635167Abstract: A camera mount includes a pivotable assembly of a pair of arms and a pocket into which an end of one of the arms is inserted, in one of a plurality of discrete orientations. The arms are pivotably joined to one another by a fastener and permitted to be aligned at one of a plurality of angles. The camera mount is installed in a track, a rail or another system mounted to a fixture of a materials handling facility or another environment, and a camera module is mounted to another end of one of the arms. A position of the camera module is selected by installing the camera mount into a desired location on the track, the rail or the other system. An orientation of the camera module is selected by selecting the one of the plurality of discrete orientations and aligning the arms at one of the plurality of angles.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Travis Justin Hosler, Peter Hoeft, Michael Lim, Joseph Horrell, Bruno Bianchessi Alves
