AI Technical Summary
Existing mounting systems for electronic devices in vehicles often require two-piece brackets, including a plastic bracket and a metal bracket, which are costly, prone to noise due to vibrations, and are over-engineered, necessitating an alternative interface arrangement.
A mounting system comprising a base mounting plate, a device support plate, and fastening elements with resilient connectors that engage through controlled forces, allowing for secure and robust attachment by snap-fitting and flexing, providing a three-way interaction between the plates and fastening elements.
The system achieves a secure, noise-free, and cost-effective attachment of electronic devices to vehicles by using resilient connectors that apply controlled forces for tightening and interlocking, allowing for adjustable positioning and reduced noise emissions.
