CLAMP MOUNT FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A clamp device is used to releasably secure an electronic device to a mounting base. The electronic device includes a mounting surface and electrical components. The electronic device is placed in physical contact with the clamp device and a toggle clam is actuated to secure the electronic device to the mounting base. An electrical coupling can also be connected when the toggle clamp secures the electronic device to the base. A safety level is actuated automatically when the lever secures the electronic device to prevent the toggle clamp from being accidentally released. The safety lever is released before the toggle clamp is released to remove the electronic device from the base which also disconnects the electrical coupling.

1. A method for releasably securing an electronic device to a mounting base comprising:
providing a guide rigidly coupled to a first side of a mounting plate rigidly mounted to the mounting base and a toggle clamp rigidly coupled to a second side of the mounting plate that is opposite the first side; placing a first portion of the electronic device in physical contact with the guide on the mounting base; placing a second portion of the positioning device in physical contact with the toggle clamp on the mounting base; and actuating the toggle clamp to secure the positioning device to the mounting base.
