Abstract:
An elastomeric mount for securing a display having a viewing surface and a back surface to a glass plate having a front and a rear surface, comprising:a continuous frame circumscribing the display and plate, aligning the plate with the viewing surface,a compressible ridge protruding from an internal surface of the frame interposed between the plate and the viewing surface and disposed about the perimeter of the plate,a first series of tabs distributed along a front edge of the frame adjacent to the internal surface and engaging the front surface of the plate,a second series of tabs distributed along a rear edge of the frame adjacent to the internal surface and opposite from the front edge, engaging the display at the back surface,wherein tension in the continuous frame between the first series of tabs and the second series of tabs biases the plate toward the display forming a cavity bounded by the rear surface of the plate, the viewing surface of the display and the compressible ridge.
