ABSTRACT:
A concealable mount for connectors, such as input/output jacks or ports, is presented. The mount comprises a base with and opening for mounting to a support structure. A front panel that is movably connected to the base, is moveable between a first closed position in which the front panel extends along the front face of the base over the opening therein, and a second open position in which at least a portion of the front panel is positioned outwardly from the base. A support extends rearwardly from the front panel and is adapted to mount connectors associated with the panel. A piston arrangement is used to bias the front panel to its open position, and a latch mechanism selectively maintains the front panel in its closed position. In its closed position, the front panel conceals the connectors, and when in its open position, the front panel exposes the support and the connectors.
