ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a ceiling console mounting system for equipment in police vehicles. The ceiling console is secured at the front by a forwardly extending tongue wedged between the ceiling and the upholstery molding and at the rear by attachment to the light mount for the ceiling dome light. A plurality of units of police equipment are mounted in the ceiling console. The radio or radio control unit is disposed in the forward portion of the ceiling console with the front panel disposed vertically so as to be readily visible at just above the normal eye level. Other units of electronic equipment are disposed rearward of the radio or radio control unit with front panels disposed to be substantially parallel to the upraised hand. The ceiling console is preferably constructed of an upper spine and a plurality of lower shells whose attachment to the upper spine allows adjustment to the contour of the ceiling of the particular vehicle. This invention is advantageous because the ceiling console can be easily installed and deinstalled in a variety of vehicles, it secures the police equipment in a safe manner and it causes no damage to the vehicle, thereby improving the resale value of the vehicle upon retirement from police service.
