Claim Text:
1. A mount system for a portable radio, the mount system comprising: a base member formed of a rigid material defining a support surface with a perimeter, the support surface comprising a planar face including two opposing lateral sides which extend longitudinally from a wide end of the support surface to a narrow end of the support surface, said lateral sides configured so that the support surface is bilaterally transitioned at an intermediate location of said support surface from a wider lateral width at the wide end to a more narrow lateral width at the narrow end; the support surface including a notched area at the wide end, the notched area defined by a major portion of the perimeter extending at said wide end between the two opposing lateral sides, said major portion including opposing perimeter sections which extend longitudinally in a direction towards the narrow end; a skirt outwardly flared from the perimeter, the skirt extending around the narrow end and around a portion of the perimeter at the wide end exclusive of the notched area, the skirt extending transversely relative to the support surface a predetermined distance to a contact plane of said base member which is opposed to the support surface; a plurality of ribs extending from the support surface to the contact plane which maintain the support surface in spaced relation to the contact plane and support the skirt, the plurality of ribs having spaces therebetween through which air can flow to facilitate the transfer of heat through the base member; a cover member including a plate member interconnected to the base member in a parallel arrangement by at least one adjustable connection element, where a first end of the adjustable connection element is coupled to the plate member and a second end of the adjustable connection element is coupled to the base member, said plate member disposed at a location which is opposed from the wide end of the base member to define a receiving space for the portable radio between the support surface and the plate member, and having formed therein a plurality of slots or through passages which extend through the plate member to facilitate the passage of heat through the plate member; wherein the adjustable connection element facilitates an adjustment of the receiving space that is defined between the plate member and the support surface.
