    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, an adjustable accessory mount mechanism uses two arms, a mount, and two attachment connections to the support structure. The arms are pivotably connected at the mount itself and at their attachments to the support structure. This arrangement produces an adjustable triangulated mechanism with the mount at one vertex and the existing support structure as one side of the triangle. The mount can be perpendicular or parallel to the support structure. The arms may be curved or otherwise shaped to avoid other objects. The accessory mount both spreads the load on the support structure and provides an inherently strong triangulated structure for mounting the object or accessory.
