Patent ID: 7073759

Claim:
A mounting assembly for fastening a device housing comprising: a housing including at least one wall extending through an opening formed in a panel having a front surface, and a rear surface so that a flange of the housing abuts the front surface of the panel when the wall extends through the opening; a slot adjacent to the rear surface of the panel when the wall extends through the opening extending through the wall that is sloped from a distal location to a proximal location with respect to the panel; and a clamp including: a cam body rotatable about an axis having a first cam surface and a second cam surface displaced radially from the axis; a shaft extending along the axis from the cam body, wherein the shaft is displaced a first distance to the first cam surface that is less than a second distance defined between the shaft and the second cam surface; and a shaft flange at an end of the shaft extending radially outward from the axis and sized to be received and retained in the slot; wherein the clamp is configured to fasten the housing to the panel by inserting the shaft flange into the slot, translating the clamp along the slot until the first cam surface is disposed proximal the panel, and rotating the clamp relative to the panel until the second cam surface engages the panel.
