ABSTRACT:
A mounting plate and locking key are arranged to mount a camera lens housing to a faceplate. The lens housing extends through a hole in the mounting plate so that an end of the lens housing is aligned with a hole in the faceplate. The mounting plate is a thin, elongate rectangle having a raised central portion and a pair of support members extending in opposite directions therefrom. The locking key is a thin elongate rectangle having a generally U-shaped opening formed in one end. The locking key is inserted between the faceplate and the raised central portion of the mounting plate. The U-shaped opening is then in alignment with the hole in the mounting plate so that edges of the U-shaped opening are engaged with the lens housing. Fastening apparatus retains the lens housing within the central passage of the mounting key by pressing the mounting plate against the faceplate, which holds the mounting plate against the locking key to retain the locking key in engagement with the lens housing and compresses the outer end of the lens housing against the faceplate at the edges of the faceplate opening.
