Abstract

A mounting system, adapted to removably couple the equipment with a mounting structure, includes a mounting bracket coupled to the mounting structure, a first flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket, and a pin disposed axially adjacent to the first flexible member. The first flexible member is disposed between the mounting bracket and the pin. The pin includes a base and a body extending from the base. The body includes a uniform section and a tapering section. The mounting system includes a second flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket and a cover disposed axially adjacent to the second flexible member. The second flexible member is disposed between the cover and the pin. The mounting system further includes at least two mechanical fasteners that removably couple the mounting bracket with each of the first flexible member, the pin, the second flexible member, and the cover.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mounting system for an equipment, the mounting system being adapted to removably couple the equipment with a mounting structure, the mounting system comprising:
a mounting bracket coupled to the mounting structure; a first flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket; a pin disposed axially adjacent to the first flexible member, wherein the first flexible member is disposed between the mounting bracket and the pin, wherein the pin includes a base and a body extending from the base along a first direction, and wherein the body includes a uniform section and a tapering section; a second flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket; a cover disposed axially adjacent to the second flexible member, wherein the second flexible member is disposed between the cover and the pin; and at least two mechanical fasteners that removably couple the mounting bracket with each of the first flexible member, the pin, the second flexible member, and the cover, wherein the at least two mechanical fasteners extend along a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

2 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the equipment defines an opening having a tapering cross-section, and wherein the tapering section is adapted to be received within the opening of the equipment to couple the pin with the equipment.

3 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first flexible member and the first flexible member is made of a rubber.

4 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket includes a base plate and a pair of side plates extending along the second direction from the base plate to the cover.

5 . The mounting system of claim 4 , wherein the base plate of the mounting bracket defines a first central through-opening, wherein the first flexible member defines a second central through-opening, and wherein each of the first central through-opening of the mounting bracket and the second central through-opening of the first flexible member receive the uniform section of the body of the pin.

6 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is fixedly coupled to or integral with the at least two mechanical fasteners.

7 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the pin is made of aluminum or steel.

8 . The mounting system of claim 1 further comprising at least two retention nuts, wherein the at least two mechanical fasteners are removably coupled to a corresponding retention nut to retain the at least two mechanical fasteners in coupling with each of the mounting bracket, the first flexible member, the pin, the second flexible member, and the cover.

9 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the equipment is an electric device or an electronic device.

10 . The mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is fixedly coupled to or integral with the mounting structure.

11 . A mounting assembly for an equipment, the mounting assembly comprising:
a mounting structure adapted to be removably coupled with the equipment; a mounting system adapted to removably couple the equipment with the mounting structure, the mounting system including:
a mounting bracket coupled to the mounting structure;
a first flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket;
a pin disposed axially adjacent to the first flexible member, wherein the first flexible member is disposed between the mounting bracket and the pin, wherein the pin includes a base and a body extending from the base along a first direction, and wherein the body includes a uniform section and a tapering section;
a second flexible member disposed axially adjacent to the mounting bracket;
a cover disposed axially adjacent to the second flexible member, wherein the second flexible member is disposed between the cover and the pin; and
at least two mechanical fasteners that removably couple the mounting bracket with each of the first flexible member, the pin, the second flexible member, and the cover, wherein the at least two mechanical fasteners extend along a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

12 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the equipment defines an opening having a tapering cross-section, and wherein the tapering section is adapted to be received within the opening of the equipment to couple the pin with the equipment.

13 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein each of the first flexible member and the second flexible member is made of a rubber.

14 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the mounting bracket includes a base plate and a pair of side plates extending along the second direction from the base plate to the cover.

15 . The mounting assembly of claim 14 , wherein the base plate of the mounting bracket defines a first central through-opening, wherein the first flexible member defines a second central through-opening, and wherein each of the first central through-opening of the mounting bracket and the second central through-opening of the first flexible member receive the uniform section of the body of the pin.

16 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the mounting bracket is fixedly coupled to or integral with the at least two mechanical fasteners.

17 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the pin is made of aluminum or steel.

18 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the mounting system further includes at least two retention nuts, and wherein the at least two mechanical fasteners are removably coupled to a corresponding retention nut to retain the at least two mechanical fasteners in coupling with each of the mounting bracket, the first flexible member, the pin, the second flexible member, and the cover.

19 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the equipment is an electric device or an electronic device.

20 . The mounting assembly of claim 11 , wherein the mounting bracket is fixedly coupled to or integral with the mounting structure.
