  • Patent number: 10631419
    Abstract: A mounting bracket comprising a first (top) surface with a slot, second (bottom) surface, and a shield (front) surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, and two side (right and left) surfaces coupled with the top, bottom, and front surfaces. A cavity is formed by the top, bottom, front, left, and right surfaces. Mounts on the top surface enable a housing to be mounted on the top surface. Mounts coupled with the left and right edge surfaces enable the bracket to mounted on an external surface. Optionally, the top surface may further comprise a hidden mount on the distal edge of the top surface, the hidden mount is hidden when a housing is mounted on the top surface and/or a security pin. When the bracket is mounted to an external surface, the slot in the top surface allows a connector to extend from the cavity to the housing.
