Abstract:
A bracket for mounting an instrument upon a foundation, the bracket comprising:a base member, the base member having a bottom plate for attachment to the foundation, and a base plate attached to the bottom plate and extending from a first end to an opposite second end;an intermediate member, the intermediate member having a lower plate, and a pair of generally parallel flanges, spaced apart, and extending generally perpendicularly from the lower plate;first pivotal means for pivotal attachment of the intermediate member lower plate to the base member base plate;a support member, the support member having a pair of generally parallel flanges spaced apart;second pivotal means for pivotal attachment of the support member flanges to the intermediate member flanges;mounting means for mounting the instrument onto the support member; andan adjusting screw, thread mounted on the intermediate member and projecting outward therefrom, with an end of the adjusting screw bearing against the support member, so that as the adjusting screw is advanced in one direction, the support member will be pivoted in a corresponding direction, and as the adjusting screw is advanced in an opposite direction, the support member will be pivoted in a corresponding opposite direction, thereby providing screw adjustment of the support angle.
