Abstract:
1. A pressure mounting apparatus comprising: a planar rectangular platform having a first plane that is parallel to both of the two longest dimensions of the planar platform; a locking friction clamp having two pairs of snap arms, the two pairs of snap arms including a front pair of snap arms and a back pair of snap arms, the snap arms arranged along a second plane that is parallel the first plane, the snap arms pivotally coupled to the platform, wherein each snap arm has an inner end and an outer end, the inner end is coupled to a buckle, wherein each buckle connects a pair of snap arms together, the outer end of each snap arm has a snap compression pad, wherein the snap arms have a locked position and an unlocked position and wherein the snap arms hold the platform in position in an enclosure having at least two opposing walls by creating friction against the opposing walls of the enclosure sides of the with the snap compression pads while in the locked position, wherein the snap compression pads are not attached to the opposing walls of the enclosure using an attachment device and in the locked position the snap arms are rotated to a position beyond a straight line alignment to each other; and a single actuating bar that is movable along only the second plane and that applies mechanical pressure along the second plane to each of the snap arms simultaneously, and the mechanical pressure being applied equally between the front pair of snap arms in the back pair of snap arms, wherein the single actuating bar is operably coupled to the snap arms.
