20150108298 | Bracket For Mounting To One Or More Sheets - A bracket orients and/or supports a guest object from a host structure that includes one or more sheets that may overlap. The sheets may include a fastener. For example, a bracket may orient a video camera/recorder supported by an article of clothing worn by a law enforcement officer. The bracket bears at least part of the weight of the object and maintains an orientation of the object. Friction between the bracket and one or more of the host sheets may resist movement of the bracket with respect to the sheet. The bracket may be installed by passing a portion of the bracket through an orifice of the sheet. When used with an overlapping arrangement of two sheet edges, friction between the bracket and each sheet edge may resist movement of the bracket with respect to each sheet edge. Consequently, the bracket may further serve to mechanically couple the two sheet edges, align, and/or maintain the alignment of the two sheet edges. When located over a fastener of the host structure, the fastener may locate, position, and/or align the bracket to the host. A bracket may provide a surface for mounting the guest to the bracket and one or more additional surfaces or braces for maintaining the bracket in generally parallel alignment with a surface of the host. The bracket consequently maintains a surface of the guest in general parallel alignment with a surface of the host. | 04-23-2015 |
