Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of measurement technology, in particular a mechanical mount for the detachable and stable attachment of a measuring device to a television or a comparable object or surface. It is particularly applicable in the field of television research, e.g., for measuring user interactions. State of the art
[0002] Devices for recording television viewing data must be mounted in close proximity to the screen. Currently, they are mostly placed loosely or attached haphazardly, which can lead to measurement errors, slippage, or mechanical damage. Some mounting solutions are visible or not flexible enough for different device types. Object of the invention
[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a mounting that allows a measuring device to be attached stably, invisibly and without permanent changes to televisions or similar surfaces - in particular with concealed magnets and mechanical elements for secure mounting. Solution to the task
[0004] The invention solves this problem by means of a holder with the following features: • A mechanical support structure for holding the measuring device • Permanent magnets invisibly integrated into the housing, which enable adhesive attachment to metallic or magnetically adhesive surfaces (e.g., the back of a television). • Additional mechanical elements such as clamps, hooks or rubber surfaces for extra stabilization Example of implementation
[0005] The mount consists of a closed-back plastic housing structure into which several permanent magnets are embedded. These are positioned in such a way that they create a secure adhesion to metallic back surfaces through the wall of the housing, without being visible from the outside.
[0006] Additionally, clamps or rubber elements can be attached for a non-slip fixation on uneven surfaces. The measuring device is inserted or snapped into the holder and remains securely in place by means of a screw, without the holder itself needing to be screwed down or permanently attached.
Claims
[1] Mounting bracket for attaching a measuring instrument to a television or similar object / surface, characterized by that they - includes a mechanical support structure for receiving the measuring device, - has one or more magnets integrated into the holder that are invisible from the outside, - for detachable attachment to a magnetically adhesive surface. [2] Mounting bracket according to claim 1, characterized by that additional mechanical fastening elements such as clamps or rubber elements are provided for stabilization. [3] Mounting bracket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the measuring device is inserted into the holder and fixed in place via a plug-in or snap-in mechanism. [4] Mounting bracket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the magnets are completely embedded in the housing and are not visually visible from the outside. [5] Mounting bracket according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that it is modular and adaptable to different screen types.
