Abstract:
1. A mounting system, comprising: a tilt bracket configured to operatively connect to a surface; an adapter bracket operatively connected to the tilt bracket, the adapter bracket configured to operatively connect to an object; at least one carrier engaging both the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket and permitting the adapter bracket to adjust relative to the tilt bracket, the at least one carrier selected from the group consisting of a glider and a rolling pin, each of the at least one carrier engaging at least one opening in each of the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket; a plurality of angular position features associated with a plane defined by one of the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket, each of the plurality of angular position features defining a substantially circular opening in the plane configured to fix a respective predetermined angle between the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket, where at least one predetermined angle is an intermediate angle; and an angular positioning element having a substantially circular cross-section that corresponds with the substantially circular openings of the plurality of angular position features and configured to be selectively received by at least one of the plurality of angular position features, wherein when the angular positioning element is received by at least one angular position feature, the respective predetermined angle between the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket is fixed and the adapter bracket is impeded from moving relative to the tilt bracket, and wherein when the angular positioning element is not in receipt with at least one angular position feature, the adapter bracket is substantially free to move relative to the tilt bracket.
