Adjustable device mount

Abstract

A device mount has a base plate to be mounted on a housing or a frame of an optical or display device. The base plate has an opening to accommodate a device holder, which has a frame for holding an optical or display device, for example. The frame is adjustable connected to the base plate through two adjustment plates. In particular, each of the adjustment plates is connected to the base plate by two linking sections, leaving a gap between the adjustment plate and the base plate. The gap is adjustable by a screw so that the height of the optical or display device relative to the base plate can be adjusted.

1 . A mounting component comprising:
 a base plate comprising a plate surface, the base plate having a first side and an opposing second side;   an adjustment component comprising a first support and a second support, the first support connected to the base plate on the first side, leaving a first gap between the first support and the plate surface, and the second support connected to the base plate on the second side, leaving a second gap between the second support and the plate surface; and   a holder comprising a holding surface defining a plane in relationship to the plate surface, the holder coupled to the adjustment component such that the relationship between the plane and the plate surface is adjustable by adjusting at least one of the first and second gaps.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting component of  claim 1 , wherein the base plate comprises an opening between the first side and the second side to accommodate the holder, and wherein the holder comprises a first linking component connecting to the first support and a second linking component connected to the second support. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting component of  claim 2 , wherein
 the linking component comprises a plurality of first linking parts and the second linking component comprises a plurality of second linking parts;   the base plate comprises a first side segment on the first side adjacent to the opening and a second side segment on the second side adjacent to the opening, and   the base plate further comprises a plurality of first channels extending from the opening into part of the first side segment for accommodating the first linking parts, and a plurality of second channels extending from the opening into part of the second side segment for accommodating the second linking parts.   
     
     
         4 . The mounting component of  claim 3 , wherein
 the first support comprises a first end and a second end separated by the first gap; and the first support is connected to the base plate at the first end and at the second end, and wherein one of the first linking parts is connected to the first support adjacent to the first end and another one of the first linking parts is connected to the first support adjacent to the second end; and wherein   the second support comprises a first end and a second end separated by the second gap; and the second support is connected to the base plate at the first end and at the second end, and wherein one of the second linking parts is connected to the second support adjacent to the first end and another one of the second linking parts is connected to the second support adjacent to the second end.   
     
     
         5 . The mounting component of  claim 1 , wherein the first support is arranged to receive a first screw, the first screw engaged with a first threaded part in the base plate for adjusting the first gap, and wherein the second plate is arranged to receive a second screw, the second screw engaged with a second threaded part for adjusting the second gap. 
     
     
         6 . The mounting component of  claim 1 , wherein the first support is arranged to receive a first screw between the first end and the second end of the first support, the first screw engaged with a first threaded part in the base plate for adjusting the first gap, and
 wherein the second plate is arranged to receive a second screw between the first end and the second end of the second support, the second screw engaged with a second threaded part for adjusting the second gap.   
     
     
         7 . The mounting component of  claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises an indent section. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting component of  claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises an opening. 
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 connecting a first support to a base plate in a device mount on a first side of the device mount, leaving a first gap between the first support and the base plate, the device mount comprising a holder between the first side and the second side, the holder having a first holder end near to the first side and a second holder end near the second side, wherein the base plate comprises a plate surface and the holder comprises a holder plane positioned in relationship with the plate surface;   connecting a second support to the base plate on a second side of the device mount, leaving a second gap between the second support and the base plate;   linking the first holder end to the first support and linking the second holder end to the second support, such that one or both of the first gap and the second gap are adjustable so as to change the relationship between the holder plane and the plate surface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 providing an opening in the base plate to accommodate the holder.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claims 10 , wherein the holder has a plurality of first linking parts at the first holder end and a plurality of second linking parts at the second holder end,
 the first support comprises a first support end for connecting to one of the first linking parts and a second support end for connecting to another one of the first linking parts, and   the second support comprises a first support end for connecting to one of the second linking parts and a second support end for connecting to another one of the second linking parts.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 providing a first screw on the first support between the first and second support ends of the first support, the first screw arranged to engage with a first threaded part on the base plate for adjusting the first gap; and   providing a second screw on the first support between the first and second support ends of the second support, the second screw arranged to engage with a second threaded part on the base plate for adjusting the second gap.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the base plate comprises a first side segment and second side segment separated by the opening, said method further comprising:
 providing a plurality of first channels on the base plate extending from the opening to part of the first side segment to accommodate the first linking parts; and   providing a plurality of second channels on the base plate extending from the opening to part of the second side segment to accommodate the second linking parts.
