| 20080230667 | LIGHT TOOL MOUNT ASSEMBLY - A mount for a light tool having a bore is for use at an associated tool station. The ball joint has a ball for engaging a socket joint. The ball joint has a stub extending therefrom and a wedge-lock element having a collar for engaging the stub. A carriage is mounted to the collar. A pair of finger elements are mounted to the carriage for pivotal movement relative to the carriage, toward and away from each other. The wedge lock element includes a wedge movable along the axis between the fingers to urge the fingers outward as the wedge moves toward the carriage. The wedge lock element is positioned with at least a portion of the carriage and the fingers in the tool bore and the wedge is drawn in to secure the ball joint portion in the tool bore. A clamp element is operably connected to the ball joint portion to indirectly secure the ball joint to a fixture. The clamp element includes a front plate, a bracket and a brake element disposed and movable between the front plate and the brake element. The brake is movable toward a front wall of the fixture to secure the clamp to the fixture. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20110036960 | CONNECTION DEVICE - A connection device includes a rotatable member and a securing member. The rotatable member includes a connecting block and a post attached to the connecting block. The post is configured for being secured to a first device. The securing member is configured for being secured to a second device and defines a first cover opening and a second cover opening. The first cover opening is in communication with the second cover opening. The rotatable member is rotatable relative to the securing member, and the post is slidable in the first and second cover openings. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20120312946 | SUPPORT DEVICE - A support and cushioning device for supporting and holding an electronic device includes a first supporting assembly, a fixed bracket, an adjusting board, and a plurality of elastic members. The adjusting board is mounted to the distal end of the first support assembly. The fixed bracket is elastically mounted to the adjusting board by means of a plurality of elastic members. The fixed bracket includes a base body and a plurality of holding arms extending out from a periphery of the base body. The plurality of holding arms and the base body cooperatively define a holding space for holding an electronic device. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20130126689 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR A DUAL-ARMED HUNTING DISPLAY - The apparatus for a dual-armed hunting display includes a base plate and a first arm and a second arm movably coupled to the base plate. The first arm and the second arm are each movable around at least two axes. The first arm is spaced apart from the second arm. The embodiment of the apparatus also includes a first holding member coupled to a distal end of the first arm and a second holding member coupled to a distal end of the second arm. | 05-23-2013 |
| 20130134275 | Universal Mounting Apparatus - A ball-and-socket joint assembly includes a stationary object, a movable object, and a mounting apparatus. The mounting apparatus has first and second rigid link sections, each link section having an upper socket section and a lower socket section, so that an upper receiving space is defined by the two upper socket sections and a lower receiving space is defined by the two lower socket sections. The assembly further includes an upper coupler having an upper ball that is received for rotation inside the upper receiving space, with the movable object secured to the upper coupler, and a lower coupler having a lower ball that is received for rotation inside the lower receiving space, with the stationary object secured to the lower coupler. A link member secures the link sections together with the upper ball retained inside the upper receiving space, and with the lower ball retained inside the lower receiving space. | 05-30-2013 |
| 20130264450 | Mount for Electronics Equipment - A mount that is useful for mounting electronics equipment such as audio or video equipment such as a microphone or a camera in a desired orientation has first and second interconnected body members that retain a swivel adapter that is movable in a ball and socket swivel joint relative to the body members. The body members rotated on threaded connections to thereby adjust the tightness of the swivel adaptor retained between the body members. A stop prevents inadvertent disassembly of the assembled mounting apparatus. | 10-10-2013 |
| 20130264451 | MANIKIN HOLDER - A manikin holder for holding the manikin noiselessly and stably is provided. The manikin holder has a body which has a lower portion having a ball joint rotatably connected to a clamp and an upper portion integrated with a stationary bolt rod of half cylinder shape and with horizontal grooves; a movable bolt rod of half cylinder shape a, which is in close contact with the stationary bolt rod and formed therein horizontal grooves; a fastening bolt penetrating through the stationary bolt rod and the movable bolt rod; a locking nut for the fastening bolt; grooves in the stationary bolt rod and the movable bolt rod for being clamped by an elastic seal ring; two pairs of mounting grooves along flanges of the stationary bolt rod and the movable bolt rod; and elastic rings elastically mounted on the mounting grooves. | 10-10-2013 |

| 20080302938 | MOUNTING AND POSITIONING APPARATUS FOR INCREASED USER INDEPENDENCE - Positioning apparatuses mountable to a wheelchair or other such device are disclosed. An illustrative positioning apparatus can include a base unit, a number of armatures each defining an extension of the apparatus, a number of rotatable joints adapted to permit movement of the armatures, and a platform adapted to support one or more objects. A number of actuation levers connected to the rotatable joints can be used to simultaneously unlock each of the joints in a single step, allowing the apparatus to be easily repositioned. A locking mechanism within each joint may permit one or more user-defined locking positions to be set on the joint. A temporary lock-out mechanism within each joint results in the unlocking of each joint until the armatures are rotated away from the locked position, allowing operation of the device with one hand. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20160186920 | Central Post Reversion Device For A Tripod - A central post reversion device for a tripod, including an upper protective cap, a lower protective cap, a left spherical shell and a right spherical shell and a central post finger used to telescope the central post, the upper protective cap is fixed on the lower protective cap to form, with the lower protective cap, a spherical receiving cavity with opening, the left spherical shell and the right spherical shell are placed into the spherical receiving cavity symmetrically, the central post finger is placed between and fixed by the left spherical shell and the right spherical shell. | 06-30-2016 |
