FLASHLIGHT MOUNT

摘要

A flashlight mounting system includes a first elastomeric mount portion, a second elastomeric mount portion, and a fastener having a shaft that secures the first and second elastomeric mount portions to each other. The first and second elastomeric mount portions are able to rotate relative to each other about the shaft. The flashlight mounting system further includes a first strap that passes through the first elastomeric mount portion to secure the first elastomeric mount portion to a flashlight, and a second strap that passes through the second elastomeric mount portion to secure the second elastomeric mount portion to a support structure.

主权项

1. A flashlight mounting system, comprising:
a first elastomeric mount portion including:
a first barrel having a rim that forms a first interface surface at a distal end of the first barrel, the first interface surface having a first set of teeth that are continuous along the rim of the first barrel, anda first pair of mounting arms that project outward from an opposite end of the first barrel and collectively form a first tapering arc that defines a first curved mounting surface along an interior of the first tapering arc, each mounting arm of the first pair forming an arc segment of the first tapering arc that tapers from a base of that mounting arm that joins with the first barrel to a distal end of that mounting arm,wherein a first channel is formed in the first pair of mounting arms that passes through each mounting arm of the first pair; a second elastomeric mount portion including:
a second barrel having a rim that forms a second interface surface at a distal end of the second barrel, the second interface surface having a second set of teeth that are continuous along the rim of the second barrel, anda second pair of mounting arms that project outward from an opposite end of the second barrel and collectively form a second tapering arc that defines a second curved mounting surface along an interior of the second tapering arc, each mounting arm of the second pair forming an arc segment of the second tapering arc that tapers from a base of that mounting arm that joins with the second barrel to a distal end of that mounting arm,wherein a second channel is formed in the second pair of mounting arms that passes through each mounting arm of the second pair; and a non-elastomeric shaft securing the first elastomeric mount portion to the second elastomeric mount portion in which the first interface surface is compressed onto the second interface surface, the shaft passing through at least a portion of the first barrel and at least a portion of the second barrel along a longitudinal axis of both the first barrel and the second barrel.
