Abstract:
A directionally adjustable mounting device is disclosed for use with a small electronic device such as a wireless camera. Also disclosed is a method of using the mounting device. The mounting device has a housing for receiving the camera extending from and rotatable about bearing. A socket of the housing is biased into frictional contact with the bearing by a spring to inhibit movement of the camera relative to the bearing. The mount is configured to receive an opposing force on the housing to overcome the spring force and allow the camera to be repositioned.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of positionally adjusting an electronic device relative to a support, the support comprising a mount fixture affixed to a supporting surface, a shaft extending forwardly of the mount fixture to a bearing affixed to an end of the shaft, the bearing being mounted in a housing that is routable about the bearing and being biased into frictional engagement with a socket via a biasing force exerted by a spring on an axially movable seat disposed between the bearing and the spring, thereby inhibiting rotation of the housing relative to the bearing, an electronic device being mounted on the housing, the method comprising;\n applying a force on the electronic device and the housing toward the bearing against the biasing force of the spring, thereby disengaging the socket from the bearing; while maintaining the applied force on the housing and its socket that is released from the bearing, altering an angle of the applied force as to alter an angular orientation of the electronic device and the socket relative to the bearing; then releasing the electronic device and the housing and allowing the biasing force of the spring to force the socket back into frictional engagement with the bearing and to maintain the angular orientation of the housing in its then-present state unless and until the socket of the housing is again forced away from the bearing against the biasing force of the spring.
