GPS handheld data collector mounting bracket

This bracket mounts a GPS handheld data collector on a survey range pole. The bracket adjusts up and down on the range pole as well as providing angular viewing adjustment of the data collector. These adjustments can be made by hand without tools through the use of rubber collets and threaded fittings. The claw shaped part of the bracket is hermaphroditic in order to minimize product cost. The thin spacer shown in the exploded view allows the bracket to be used with two different data collectors. All parts except two machine screws are injection molded. This product was designed using Pro/Engineer.
