  • Patent number: 6871920
    Abstract: A quick-mount support includes a fixed retainer adapted to extend into a first retainer aperture and a movable retainer having an arcuate slot and adapted to extend into a second retainer aperture. The quick-mount support further includes a pivotable actuator, apparatus for mounting the pivotable actuator for pivoting movement about an actuator pivot axis, and a driver coupled to the pivotable actuator and arranged to move in the arcuate slot in the movable retainer. Movable retainer pivots about the retainer pivot axis toward and away from the fixed retainer in response to pivoting movement of the pivotable actuator about the actuator pivot axis. In one illustrative embodiment, the mounting apparatus comprises an elastic, deformable O-ring for pivotally mounting the pivotable actuator about an anchor mount so that the actuator pivot axis can shift as the driver moves in the arcuate slot.

  • Patent number: 6209979
    Abstract: A telescoping slide assembly (10) is provided for the mounting of an equipment mounting support and includes an elongated stationary slide member (20) having two ends and an elongated movable load-carrying slide member (24) having two ends. The load-carrying slide member (24) is telescopically connected to stationary slide member (20) so as to have one end of the load-carrying slide member extended away from one end of the stationary slide member in an extended position and the one end of the load-carrying slide member movable telescopically with respect to the stationary slide member to a retracted position wherein the one end of the load-carrying slide member is telescopically withdrawn into the stationary slide member so as to be located adjacent to the one end of the stationary slide member.
