Abstract
A mounting device (10) includes first (28) and second (32) levers that are disposed between a base plate (12) and a mounting plate (20) and that are attached to the base plate by flexible metal hinges (36a and 36b). First (56a) and second (56b) adjustment devices extend through the base plate (12) and selectively adjust the angles of inclination of the levers (28 and 32). The levers (28 and 32) each change the angular inclination of the mounting plate (20) about one axis by a smaller angle than the angular change received by that (28 or 32) lever.
