Patent ID: 6880790

Claim:
A mounting system for attaching a colorimeter to a target screen, the system comprising: an array of suction cups adapted to hold the colorimeter in position on the target screen, each cup in the array having a maximum displacement distance of 0.115 inches or less, thereby enabling positional stability of the colorimeter, the maximum displacement distance defining a distance any one cup will move in transitioning from a fully engaged-state to a fully relaxed-state; a sensor hole located in the array, so as to allow sensors of the colorimeter to receive light emitted from the target screen; a sensor shield located about the sensor hole, and adapted to shield sensors of the colorimeter from extraneous light generated by sources other than the target screen; a baseplate operatively coupled to the array of suction cups, wherein the baseplate is adapted to be operatively coupled to a housing of the colorimeter or is part of the colorimeter housing; one or more rigid stops located on the array, so as to establish a pre-set distance of the colorimeter to the target screen, each stop having a height that allows each of the suction cups to be fully seated.
