Patent ID: 8152389

Claim:
A camera support apparatus, supported by a fence structure having a beam with a longitudinal axis and a perpendicular axis, wherein the beam is adjacent to a chain link wire mesh, said camera support apparatus comprising: (a) an inverted “U” shaped flexible member including a first finger extension with a first proximal end portion and an opposing first distal end portion with a first extension axis therebetween, a second finger extension with a second proximal end portion and an opposing second distal end portion with a second extension axis therebetween, wherein said first and second extension axes are substantially parallel to one another, further wherein said first and second proximal end portions are each joined by a connecting member, wherein a combination of said first and second fingers, and said connecting member have a stiffness K factor range of about ten to thirty pounds per inch at said first and second distal end portions; and (b) a camera mount interface extending from said connecting member, said camera mount interface is positioned opposite of said first and second fingers, said camera mount interface is adapted to removably engage a camera, wherein said first and second fingers and said connecting member have a slip compressive fit removable engagement via said stiffness with a combination of the beam and the chain link wire mesh, wherein operationally said combination of first and second fingers and said connecting member deflect outward dimensionally an amount greater than the chain link wire mesh deflecting inwardly as said connecting member and the beam approach one another eventually becoming adjacent with one another to facilitate said slip compressive fit by virtue of friction as between said first and second fingers and the beam and the chain link wire mesh to help prevent movement of a moment about the beam perpendicular axis of said camera support apparatus.
