Abstract
A mounting bracket arrangements for an optical component (10) which must be precisely oriented on a base structure (12) and held securely against vibrations, the arrangement including a bracket assembly (14) having first and second bracket plates (24, 26) extending orthogonally with respect to each other. The component (10) is secured to subplate (20) in turn attached to the first bracket plate (24) with a pivot screw (38) and a pair of locking screws (34, 36) so as to enable pivoting adjustment, secured by tightening all of the screws. The second bracket plate (26) is attached to the base structure (12) by a pivot screw (56) and a pair of locking screws (52, 54) so as to enable pivoting adjustment, thereafter secured by tightening all of the screws. A torque plate (50, 62) is installed beneath each set of locking screws to prevent disturbing the adjusted position as the locking screws are tightened. Pairs of aligned holes (68, 70, 74, 76) are formed in the subplate (20) and first bracket plate (24) and second bracket plate (26) and base structure (12) to enable a tool inserted in the holes to be used to adjust the position of the parts.
