1. A device mounting platform apparatus, comprising:
- a frame member formed with a device mounting surface between spaced apart first and second edges, the frame member being structured for being mounted in a vehicle with the device mounting surface having a generally upwardly orientation;
a clamp member slidably interconnected to the frame member for motion relative to the second edge of the frame member along a first direction oriented substantially crosswise of the spaced apart first and second edges thereof; and
a reconfigurable biasing mechanism coupled between the frame and clamp members, the biasing mechanism being reconfigurable between a first configuration for urging a jaw portion of the clamp member away from the second edge of the frame member along a first heading substantially aligned with the first direction, and a second configuration for urging the jaw portion of the clamp member toward the second edge of the frame member along a second heading substantially aligned with the first direction.

Abstract
A device mounting platform apparatus having a reconfigurable biasing mechanism. The device mounting platform apparatus includes a frame member capable of being mounted in a vehicle and having a device mounting surface facing generally upward. A clamp member is slidably interconnected to the frame member along a first direction. A biasing mechanism is coupled between the frame and clamp members. The biasing mechanism is reconfigurable for urging a jaw portion of the clamp member along the first direction heading either toward or away from the frame member. The biasing mechanism is thus reconfigurable for either urging the clamp member open or urging it closed.

9. A device mounting platform apparatus, comprising:
-
a frame member formed with a device mounting surface between opposing first and second edges spaced apart along a first direction, the frame member being structured for being mounted in a vehicle with the device mounting surface having a generally upwardly orientation; a jaw portion structured adjacent to the first edge of the frame member; a guide mechanism structured substantially along the first direction adjacent to the device mounting surface of the frame member; a clamp member having an elongated sled portion with a jaw portion extended substantially crosswise thereof adjacent to a first end thereof, the sled portion being slidably interconnected to the guide mechanism of the frame member for motion substantially along the first direction thereof; and a reconfigurable biasing mechanism coupled between the frame and clamp members for urging the sled portion of the clamp member along the guide mechanism relative to the first direction, the biasing mechanism being reversible between a first configuration for resiliently urging the jaw portion of the clamp member away from the second edge of the frame member, and a second configuration for resiliently urging the jaw portion toward the second edge of the frame member. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A device mounting platform apparatus, comprising:
-
a frame member formed with a device mounting surface between opposing first and second edges spaced apart along a first direction, the frame member further comprising means for being mounted in a vehicle with the device mounting surface having a generally upwardly orientation; a clamp member movable relative to the frame member; means for guiding the clamp member relative to the frame member along the first direction thereof; and a means for biasing the clamp member relative to the frame member, the biasing means being reconfigurable between a first configuration for urging a jaw portion of the clamp member along a first heading substantially aligned with the first direction away from the second edge of the frame member, and a second configuration for urging the jaw portion of the clamp member along a second heading opposite from the first heading and substantially aligned with the first direction toward the second edge of the frame member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
