Abstract
The invention is a mount for an electronic display device. The mount comprises a mount member that has a top face and a bottom face. Portions of the mount member are configured to engage portions of a mounting surface within the cockpit of an airplane. The mount also comprises a containment member spaced therefrom the mount member. A joint member is disposed in frictional contact with portions of the respective mount member and containment member. A base member, which may be configured for engagement with a portion of the electronic display device, may be connected to the joint member.

12. A mount for an electronic display device, comprising:
-
a mount member having a top face and a bottom face, wherein portions of the mount member are configured to engage portions of a mounting surface within a cockpit of an airplane;
a containment member spaced therefrom the mount member, the containment member having a top side and a bottom side and defining an opening therethrough;
a plurality of attachment members therebetween the top face of the mount member and the bottom side of the containment member, wherein the mount member, the containment member, and the plurality of attachment members define a cavity;
a joint member disposed therein the cavity, the joint member having an outer surface;
an elongate articulating member extending therefrom the outer surface of the joint member such that at least a portion of the elongate articulating member extends therethrough the opening defined therethrough the containment member, wherein rotation of the joint member articulates the articulating member within the opening; and
a means for selectively compressing and releasing the joint member between portions of the containment member and portions of the mount member to selectively cause a friction fit between the joint member and portions of the containment and mount members such that the elongate articulating member is substantially restricted from moving. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A mount for an electronic display device, comprising:
-
a mount member having a top face and a bottom face, wherein portions of the mount member are configured to engage portions of a mounting surface within a cockpit of an airplane;
a containment member spaced therefrom the mount member, the containment member having a top side and a bottom side and defining an opening therethrough;
a plurality of attachment members therebetween the top face of the mount member and the bottom side of the containment member, wherein the mount member, the containment member, and the plurality of attachment members define a cavity;
a substantially spherical joint member disposed therein the cavity, the joint member having an outer surface, wherein a plurality of the attachment members are configured to selectively compress portions of the containment member and portions of the mount member against the joint member into an engaged position whereby the containment member and the mount member cause a friction fit with the joint member such that the joint member is substantially restricted from rotating;
a plurality of bias elements disposed thereon the attachment members and supported by a portion of the containment member, the bias elements being configured to adjust the force applied on the containment member by the attachment members such that the containment member is biased between the engaged position and an unengaged position whereby the friction fit of the joint member therebetween the containment member and the mount member is released, thereby enabling limited rotation of the joint member; and
an elongate articulating member extending therefrom the outer surface of the joint member such that at least a portion of the elongate articulating member extends therethrough the opening defined therethrough the containment member, wherein rotation of the joint member articulates the articulating member within the opening. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
