CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET

摘要

A mounting bracket for a device having at least one planar mounting shoe surface comprising a pair of parallel conventional T-slots each having a lengthwise T-shaped cavity formed with a wide base and a narrow opening communicating with the mounting shoe surface between parallel rails spaced apart on opposite sides of the opening, the mounting bracket has a rigid frame with a mounting surface; a pair of parallel guides spaced apart on the mounting surface of the frame; and a clamp. The clamp has a clamping jaw that is movable normal to the mounting surface, the clamping jaw has at least one arm aligned with one of the guides, and an anchor member positioned at a distal end thereof. The clamp also has an actuator that is coupled for moving the anchor member normal to the mounting surface of the frame.

1. A mounting bracket, comprising:
a rigid frame comprising a recessed guide chamber communicating with a mounting surface thereof; a pair of parallel guides aligned with the recessed guide chamber on the mounting surface of the frame, each guide arranged for slidingly engaging openings formed in a pair of parallel T-slots; and a clamp, comprising:
a clamping jaw that is movable in the guide chamber, the clamping jaw having at least one arm aligned with one of the guides, and wherein the arm comprises an anchor member adapted for slidingly engaging one of the T-slots and clamping therewith, andan actuator coupled for moving the clamping jaw along the guide chamber for engaging the anchor member with the one T-slot, whereby the clamp secures a rail portion of the one T-slot against the mounting surface of the frame.
