Abstract: A cradle mount for mounting a cellular telephone handset cradle in a vehicle. The mount enables the cradle to be selectively and removably positioned at an angular orientation extending through a full 360 degrees, and enables the cradle to be tilted through an angle of approximately 180 degrees. A detachable mounting plate enables the handset to be removed from the mount. One or more elongate, pivotably connected extension bars may be interposed between the base of the mount and the rotatable, detachable mounting plate, so as to enable the mount to be installed at various places in vehicle cabs of different sizes, shapes and dimensions.

Abstract: A mounting cradle for mounting a portable cellular telephone in a vehicle. The cradle is adjustable in width, length and height, by a single pair of fasteners, to accommodate portable cellular telephones of varying sizes. The cradle and an associated cradle mount enable the telephone to be selectively and removably positioned at an angular orientation extending through a full 360 degrees, and also allow the cradle and telephone to be tilted through a substantial angle. The cradle has an adjustable compression spring, characterized by two levels of spring tension, for accommodating varying shock and vibration conditions.

Abstract: Apparatus for mounting equipment to a vehicle includes first and second frames adapted for sliding engagement between downwardly extending wing members of the top frame within grooves formed by bends along opposite edges of the bottom frame. A spring locking member attached to the bottom frame is received within an oblong hole in the upper frame in a locked and engaged position, to urge the wing members into engagement with the bent edges of the lower frame. The spring locking member is located within a slot in an upwardly extending portion of the lower frame to constrain it only to upward and downward movement. In the engaged position the locking member prevents movement in orthoginal or transverse directions thereby securing firmly the first and second frames and equipment carried thereby to the vehicle.
