Abstract
An adjustable mount which is particularly useful in attaching an appliance such as a television set or the like in a movable vehicle. The mount is operable to permit swinging of the appliance to and from any one of a number of preselected positions and for holding the appliance in the selected position. The mount incorporates a pair of mounting brackets, one of the brackets having a socket and the other bracket a ball presenting a ball-and-socket joint between the brackets. The socket has a centrally located opening and the one bracket has a slotted disc mounted thereon adjacent the opening. A bolt extends through the ball, the opening in the socket and through the slot in the disc. The bolt has a head on one end and a nut on the opposite end. With the nut loosened the brackets are swingably interconnected for positioning a supported appliance. Tightening the nut clamps the ball-and-socket joint to hold the appliance in the selected position.
