  • Transducer support and associated lock
    Patent number: 7230882
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved support and lock for use in conjunction with a mobile sonar unit or other device. The improved support is rotatably coupled to the sonar unit base by a coupling assembly. A stabilizing member is slideably coupled to the distal end of the support via a locking assembly. Advantageously, the support maintains an object, such as a transducer, in a selected position and is able to resist deflection despite adverse environment conditions. Further, the disclosed locking assembly can be used for a wide variety of other applications.
