Mounting apparatus for a mobile communication device

摘要

A mounting apparatus ( 100 ) for a mobile communication device includes a unitarily formed bracket ( 102 ) having side surfaces ( 104 ) with integrated lock washer functionality. Cantilevered beams ( 106, 108 ) are deflected outward from the side surfaces ( 104 ) forming a clearance ( 110 ) through which to receive a screw ( 210 ) for coupling the mobile communication device ( 302 ) to the bracket ( 102 ). The cantilevered beams ( 106, 108 ) minimize backward rotation of the screw ( 210 ) and provide compliancy between the bracket ( 102 ), the screw ( 210 ) and the mobile communication device ( 302 ).
