ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting a structure, such as a video-phone, includes a base and a platform. The base has a first surface for resting on top of a display device, for example, a television monitor or computer monitor. The base also has an opposite, platform-supporting surface which includes a first central recess and a second recess, or track, surrounding the first recess. The first and second recesses are separated by a ridged portion. The platform includes a top surface for engaging or being integral with the video-phone. The bottom surface engages the base and is contoured to slidably communicate with the first and second recesses. This allows the platform and the video-phone to move in a complete circle with respect to the base and to pivot to allow adjustment in the vertical direction. The mounting device prevents adjustment by tilting in a horizontal direction, and therefore prevents the transmission of strangely angled images.
