  • Patent number: 8944391
    Abstract: A hand operated mount 100 is disclosed which can be mounted into the roof of a vehicle, vessel, or building and used to accurately control from inside the vehicle, vessel or building various types of devices that can be externally mounted on it, such as spotlights 127, cameras 110, heat measuring devices 123, listening devices 129, loud speakers 130, water canons 150, guns 118, and other type devices that are necessary to aim. The horizontal axis remains on a horizontal plane and rotates 360 degrees uninterrupted. The vertical axis rotates 180 degrees. The two axis of movement gives the ability to aim mounted devices in any direction. Power is supplied though an electric disc and rod eliminating the restriction of a wire that would prevent 360 degree uninterrupted rotation. Vertical and horizontal brakes and adjustable resistance allows ease of use and the ability to lock the mounted devices in position.
