ABSTRACT:
A force multiplying single point mount capable of reliably resisting relatively high displacement torques when locked incorporates a steel ball within a rotatable and tiltable housing. The housing can be clamped to the ball, which is fixedly supported relative to a selected surface, by means of first and second plates axially displaced from one another at opposite ends of the ball. A single locking lever can be used to release the ball from the housing to enable the housing to tilt and rotate to a selected position. The housing can then be locked to the ball by clamping one of the plates against the ball. The plate is movable on one end by rotating the locking lever in a threaded bore. It pivots at a second end. The ball is positioned between the two ends. The over all mechanical advantage is such that when locked, loads exerting on the order of 200 foot-pounds of torque can be supported without slippage or change of position.
