An apparatus for mounting within a vehicle, an object having at least one receptacle in a first main surface. The apparatus comprises a base having a mounting surface. A latch and a frame are movable between latched and unlatched positions and are biased toward the latched position by a first biasing element. One or more push buttons are movable between extended and depressed positions and are biased toward the extended position by a second biasing element. A lower portion of the push button blocks and allows movement of the frame toward the latched position when the push button is in the extended and depressed position, respectively. The first main surface pushes the push button to the depressed position, thereby enabling the first biasing element to move the latch and the frame to the latched position, in which the latch engages with the at least one receptacle.

Push-button actuated rear latch hook mechanism

Systems for mounting an object within a vehicle are disclosed. One such system includes a mounting plate, a bracket, and a hinge. The mounting plate is configured to be affixed to a dashboard of the vehicle. The bracket is adapted to receive the object to be mounted. The hinge has a base portion and a body portion movable relative to the base portion. The base portion of the hinge is mounted to the mounting plate and the body portion of the hinge is mounted to the bracket. The body portion of the hinge is pivotable relative to the base portion around a first axis, and the body portion of the hinge is rotatable around a second axis different from the first axis.

Vehicle mounting system

Apparatuses and methods for mounting an object within a vehicle are disclosed. One apparatus includes a base, a neck, and a pair of legs. The neck extends from the base, and has a length that is adjustable relative to the base. The legs extend from the base in substantially a same plane as the neck. Each leg has a holding portion configured to hold the object. The legs are rotatable relative to the base such that rotation of one leg causes rotation of the other leg. One method includes positioning the object adjacent a base of a mounting apparatus, adjusting a length of a neck of the apparatus to accommodate the object, and rotating a pair of legs of the apparatus such that holding portions on the legs hold the object, the pair of legs rotatable such that rotation of one leg causes rotation of the other leg.
