ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to stands securable within a vehicle for supporting an electronic component such as a citizens band radio and more particularly to a multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components that includes an exterior base attachment plate assembly; an interior base plate assembly; a pivoting lower support shaft assembly; a dog-leg shaped, height adjustable, large circle adjustable, support member assembly; a T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly; and a horizontal axis pivotal device mounting plate assembly; the exterior base attachment plate assembly including a rigid exterior plate having a number of threaded connectors permanently secured thereto each in alignment with a separate exterior securing bolt aperture; the interior base plate assembly including a rigid interior plate having a number of interior securing bolt apertures that are positioned on the rigid interior plate such that all of the interior securing bolt apertures are simultaneously positionable in registration with an exterior securing bolt aperture, four threaded securing bolts companionately threaded to engage the threaded connectors of the exterior base attachment plate assembly, and two spaced, parallel oriented, pivot plates extending perpendicularly from a top surface of the interior plate, each pivot plate having a pivot pin aperture formed therethrough concentrically aligned with the pivot pin aperture of the other pivot plate; the pivoting lower support shaft assembly including a straight rigid support section having a threaded top end opening and a tubular axle structure having a passageway formed therethrough and secured to the bottom end thereof having a length equal to the spacing between the two pivot plates, a pivot axle including a shaft adapted to pass sequentially through one of the pivot pin apertures, the passageway of the tubular axle structure and the remaining pivot pin aperture; the shaft including a head at one end thereof of larger dimension that the pivot pin apertures and a threaded insertion end threaded to engage a lower support shaft locking nut structure having a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; the dog-leg shaped, height adjustable, large circle adjustable, support member assembly including a rigid support dog-leg member including a top portion joined to a bottom portion at an angle of about forty-five degrees, a top end of the top portion having a threaded opening, a bottom end of the bottom portion having a threaded shaft companionately threaded to engage the threaded top end opening of the straight rigid support section and oriented in parallel with the top portion and at an angle of about forty-five degrees with respect to the bottom portion, and a support member lock nut structure including a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; the T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly including a thread ended bottom shaft threaded to engage the threaded opening of the top end of the top portion of the dog-leg member and a tubular device mounting plate connecting structure attached at the center thereof to another end of the bottom shaft and perpendicular thereto, and a clevis lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing rod portion; the horizontal axis pivotal device mounting plate assembly including a rigid device mounting plate having a pair of spaced clevis attachment plates each provided with a device mounting plate pivot pin aperture extending from a bottom surface thereof and a device mounting plate pivot pin assembly including a thread ended device mounting plate pivot pin and a mounting plate lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing portion.
BACKGROUND ART
It is often difficult to mount an electronic component, such as a citizens band radio, at a convenient location within a vehicle, such as a truck or the like. It would be desirable, therefore, to have a stand securable within a vehicle passenger compartment that allowed the user adjust the stand to provide optimum positioning of the electronic component within the vehicle for convenient safe use thereof.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components that includes an exterior base attachment plate assembly; an interior base plate assembly; a pivoting lower support shaft assembly; a dog-leg shaped, height adjustable, large circle adjustable, support member assembly; a T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly; and a horizontal axis pivotal device mounting plate assembly; the exterior base attachment plate assembly including a rigid exterior plate having a number of threaded connectors permanently secured thereto each in alignment with a separate exterior securing bolt aperture; the interior base plate assembly including a rigid interior plate having a number of interior securing bolt apertures that are positioned on the rigid interior plate such that all of the interior securing bolt apertures are simultaneously positionable in registration with an exterior securing bolt aperture, four threaded securing bolts companionately threaded to engage the threaded connectors of the exterior base attachment plate assembly, and two spaced, parallel oriented, pivot plates extending perpendicularly from a top surface of the interior plate, each pivot plate having a pivot pin aperture formed therethrough concentrically aligned with the pivot pin aperture of the other pivot plate; the pivoting lower support shaft assembly including a straight rigid support section having a threaded top end opening and a tubular axle structure having a passageway formed therethrough and secured to the bottom end thereof having a length equal to the spacing between the two pivot plates, a pivot axle including a shaft adapted to pass sequentially through one of the pivot pin apertures, the passageway of the tubular axle structure and the remaining pivot pin aperture; the shaft including a head at one end thereof of larger dimension that the pivot pin apertures and a threaded insertion end threaded to engage a lower support shaft locking nut structure having a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; the dog-leg shaped, height adjustable, large circle adjustable, support member assembly including a rigid support dog-leg member including a top portion joined to a bottom portion at an angle of about forty-five degrees, a top end of the top portion having a threaded opening, a bottom end of the bottom portion having a threaded shaft companionately threaded to engage the threaded top end opening of the straight rigid support section and oriented in parallel with the top portion and at an angle of about forty-five degrees with respect to the bottom portion, and a support member lock nut structure including a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; the T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly including a thread ended bottom shaft threaded to engage the threaded opening of the top end of the top portion of the dog-leg member and a tubular device mounting plate connecting structure attached at the center thereof to another end of the bottom shaft and perpendicular thereto, and a clevis lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing rod portion; the horizontal axis pivotal device mounting plate assembly including a rigid device mounting plate having a pair of spaced clevis attachment plates each provided with a device mounting plate pivot pin aperture extending from a bottom surface thereof and a device mounting plate pivot pin assembly including a thread ended device mounting plate pivot pin and a mounting plate lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing portion.
Accordingly, a multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components is provided. The multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components includes an exterior base attachment plate assembly; an interior base pla
