Patent ID: 7051607

Claim:
An adjustable mounting device comprising: A) a base having a bottom and opposed orthogonal sides defining a reclining C; B) a standing C-shaped member having a bottom leg, a vertical leg and a top leg parallel to the bottom leg, the bottom leg lying between the opposed orthogonal sides, the standing C-shaped member being positioned by first and second guide dowels and by a first threaded bolt aligned substantially parallel to the first and second dowels, wherein the first and second guide dowels extend between the opposed orthogonal sides and penetrate the bottom leg, and wherein the first threaded bolt penetrates through a first bolt aperture in at least one of the opposed orthogonal sides in and engages a first threaded aperture in the bottom leg; and C) a mounting plate suspended from the top leg and above the bottom leg by a second threaded bolt that penetrates the top leg through a second bolt aperture and engages a second thread aperture in the mounting plate, wherein a third guide dowel extends substantially perpendicular to the first and second dowels from the top leg through the mounting plate to the bottom leg, the second threaded bolt is substantially parallel to the third guide dowel, and a mechanism in the mounting plate retains a sensor for locating a target element.
