Abstract

The rotational mounting arrangements for mounting an item on a mounting surface include a stator element and rotor element cooperating together to mount the item for rotational movement relative to the mounting surface, and a locking mechanism for releasably locking the rotor element in one or more predetermined positions relative to the stator element. The locking mechanism may include one or more apertures formed in one of the stator and rotor elements, and one or more apertures or recesses in the other of the stator and rotor elements for receiving a locking component. In another form, the locking mechanism may include one or more apertures formed in one of the stator and rotor elements, and a locking component carried on the other of the stator and rotor elements.
