Patent ID: 8820700

Claim:
Apparatus for adjusting spatial position of a machine control pod relative to a fixed machine floor, the apparatus comprising: a support bracket defined by a pair of spaced struts and a pair of spaced cross beams orthogonally positioned relative to the struts, each cross beam having two opposed ends rigidly securing the struts together; a carriage mounted on the cross beams via bores in the carriage through which the cross beams are disposed, the cross beams supporting the carriage for translatable movement of the carriage between the struts along a first axis; the carriage including a pair of spaced pin-receiving bores aligned with the struts and being oriented orthogonally with respect to the cross beams; and a pair of spring-loaded pins extending into each of the respective pin-receiving bores of the carriage, the pair of spring-loaded pins moveable in the pin-receiving bores along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; whereby the machine control pod is adapted to be secured to the pair of spring-loaded pins and be translatable relative to the machine floor via the carriage along the first axis, and via the spring-loaded pins along the second axis.
