Claim 1
Independent Claim 556 words
A multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components comprising: 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; said 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; said interior base plate assembly including a rigid interior plate having a number of interior securing bolt apertures that are positioned on said rigid interior plate such that all of said interior securing bolt apertures are simultaneously positionable in registration with an exterior securing bolt aperture, four threaded securing bolts companionately threaded to engage said threaded connectors of said exterior base attachment plate assembly, and two spaced, parallel oriented, pivot plates extending perpendicularly from a top surface of said interior plate, each pivot plate having a pivot pin aperture formed therethrough concentrically aligned with said pivot pin aperture of said other pivot plate; said 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 said bottom end thereof having a length equal to said spacing between said two pivot plates, a pivot axle including a shaft adapted to pass sequentially through one of said pivot pin apertures, said passageway of said tubular axle structure and said remaining pivot pin aperture; said shaft including a head at one end thereof of larger dimension that said 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; said 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 said top portion having a threaded opening, a bottom end of said bottom portion having a threaded shaft companionately threaded to engage said threaded top end opening of said straight rigid support section and oriented in parallel with said top portion and at an angle of about forty-five degrees with respect to said bottom portion, and a support member lock nut structure including a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; said T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly including a thread ended bottom shaft threaded to engage said threaded opening of said top end of said top portion of said dog-leg member and a tubular device mounting plate connecting structure attached at said center thereof to another end of said bottom shaft and perpendicular thereto, and a clevis lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing rod portion; said 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.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 556 words
A multi-adjustable stand for vehicle electronic components comprising: 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; said 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; said interior base plate assembly including a rigid interior plate having a number of interior securing bolt apertures that are positioned on said rigid interior plate such that all of said interior securing bolt apertures are simultaneously positionable in registration with an exterior securing bolt aperture, four threaded securing bolts companionately threaded to engage said threaded connectors of said exterior base attachment plate assembly, and two spaced, parallel oriented, pivot plates extending perpendicularly from a top surface of said interior plate, each pivot plate having a pivot pin aperture formed therethrough concentrically aligned with said pivot pin aperture of said other pivot plate; said 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 said bottom end thereof having a length equal to said spacing between said two pivot plates, a pivot axle including a shaft adapted to pass sequentially through one of said pivot pin apertures, said passageway of said tubular axle structure and said remaining pivot pin aperture; said shaft including a head at one end thereof of larger dimension that said 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; said 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 said top portion having a threaded opening, a bottom end of said bottom portion having a threaded shaft companionately threaded to engage said threaded top end opening of said straight rigid support section and oriented in parallel with said top portion and at an angle of about forty-five degrees with respect to said bottom portion, and a support member lock nut structure including a threaded portion attached to a torquing rod portion; said T-shaped, height adjustable vertical axis adjustable clevis assembly including a thread ended bottom shaft threaded to engage said threaded opening of said top end of said top portion of said dog-leg member and a tubular device mounting plate connecting structure attached at said center thereof to another end of said bottom shaft and perpendicular thereto, and a clevis lock nut structure including a threaded portion and a torquing rod portion; said 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.
