Abstract
A track mounting system for mounting electronic devices is described. The mounting system includes a mounting plate having a pair of tracks extending forwardly and a pair of mounting brackets to which a device is attached. The mounting brackets include sidewardly extending mounting fingers which engage inner surfaces of the tracks to lock the brackets to the tracks by forcing edges of the mounting fingers to 'bite' into the inner surfaces of the tracks. The edges of the mounting fingers are biased into the inner surfaces of the tracks by force from a tensioning arm which is flexed as the device is rotated into its mounting position. The device and brackets are retained in their alignment orientation by retaining tabs which engage the tracks. To ease alignment of the mounting brackets to the tracks, a guide extension extends from the mounting brackets and is curved sidewardly to guide the brackets into their alignment position as a device is rotated into its mounting position. The mounting plate includes a pair of secondary tracks having a groove therebetween to which a cable retainer clip attaches. The cable retainer clip and groove together provide a passageway for cables to pass behind the mounted device to be concealed from view.
