Patent ID: 7891624

Claim:
A mount for coupling a projector device to an overhead support structure, the mount comprising: a projector interface assembly adapted to attach to the projector device; a support structure interface adapted to attach to the overhead support structure; and a projector device orientation adjustment assembly coupling the projector interface assembly and the support structure interface, the projector device orientation adjustment assembly comprising: a first portion attached to the projector interface assembly; a second portion coupling the first portion and the support structure interface, the first portion being adapted to selectively shift the projector interface assembly relative to the support structure interface about a first axis, and the second portion being adapted to selectively shift the projector interface assembly relative to the support structure interface about a second axis oriented transverse to the first axis; and at least one selectively rotatable drive element arranged to drive shifting of the projector interface assembly about the first axis or arranged to drive shifting of the projector interface assembly about the second axis upon rotation of the at least one selectively rotatable drive element, wherein the first portion of the projector device orientation adjustment assembly includes structure defining a plurality of gear teeth, wherein a first rotatable drive element of the at least one selectively rotatable drive element is engaged with the gear teeth to enable shifting of the projector interface assembly about the first axis, and wherein the first rotatable drive element comprises a gear element and a knob.
