  • Patent number: 10690449
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a rail mount for mounting a device on a rail. According to an embodiment, the mount comprises a frame having a length along a first direction, a width along a second direction, and a height along a third direction; a clamp operatively connected to the frame to be slidable along the second direction; an adjustment cam operatively connected to the frame to be rotatable around a first axis extending along the third direction; and a lever cam operatively connected to the adjustment cam to be rotatable around a second axis extending along the third direction. The lever cam is configured to translate a rotary force applied thereto into a linear force applied to the clamp along the second direction. The adjustment cam is configured to shift the second axis closer to or further from the frame along the second direction when the adjustment cam is rotated.

  • Patent number: 10443985
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a kinematic rail mount for mounting a device on a rail that includes a topmost surface and an under surface along opposing sides of the rail. According to an embodiment, the mount comprises a frame having a length along a first direction, a width along a second direction, and a height along a third direction; and a clamp operatively connected to the frame to be slidable along the second direction. The frame has a first end portion and a second end portion arranged along the first direction and an intermediate portion disposed between the first and second end portions. The clamp includes a guide disposed in a channel formed in the intermediate portion of the frame. The first end portion and second end portion include, respectively, a first raised pad and a second raised pad. The intermediate portion includes a third raised pad.
