Abstract
Abstract A saddle for receiving and retaining a strap is disclosed herein, providing a structure whereby a saddle is pivotally or otherwise secured to a base. The base is provided with inspection apertures in the peripheral area thereof and the saddle is provided with a strap passage for receiving a strap in a direction generally toward the base. The saddle is a single piece or assembled from two or more pieces to provide the strap passage therein. The saddle is structured with projections and/or inclined surfaces adjacent the passage openings, whereby the passage openings open in a direction generally away from the mount base to facilitate reception of a strap.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A mount for receiving and retaining a strap comprising a base for securing the mount to a surface, a discrete saddle portion adjacent to said base and having a bottom surface adapted to be secured to said base, end surfaces inclining toward each other away from said base, a strap-receiving passage extending through said saddle portion between said end surfaces and terminating in apertures at each end surface so that each aperture is inclined and opens in a direction generally away from said base, said strap-receiving passage further having a bottom guiding surface adjacent each aperture, said aperture and said bottom guiding surface cooperating to permit the insertion of a strap into said passage in a direction generally toward said base and to guide the strap through said passage to the other aperture, and means securing said saddle portion to said base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A mount for receiving and retaining a strap comprising a base for securing the mount to a surface, a discrete saddle portion adjacent to said base and having a bottom surface adapted to be secured to said base, end surfaces inclining toward each other away from said base, a strap-receiving passage extending through said saddle portion between said end surfaces and terminating in apertures at each end surface so that each aperture is inclined and opens in a direction generally away from said base, said strap-receiving passage further having a bottom guiding surface adjacent each aperture, said aperture and said bottom guiding surface cooperating to permit the insertion of a strap into said passage in a direction generally toward said base and to guide the strap through said passage to the other aperture, and means securing said saddle portion to said base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein said base is composed of metal and has a securing surface whereby said base can be secured by an adhesive adapted for metal-to-metal application independent of the composition of said saddle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein said securing means is adapted to pivotally secure said saddle to said base.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein said securing means comprises a trunnion and bearing portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A mount as defined in claim 4 wherein said trunnion is rigidly secured to said base and pivotally retained in a bearing aperture portion in said saddle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
A mount as defined in claim 2 wherein said base has inspection holes therethrough adjacent the area of the periphery thereof to provide a visual measurement of the presence of adhesive in said peripheral area between said base and the surface to which said base may be secured by adhesive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
52 words
A mount as defined in claim 5 wherein said base is provided with inspection holes therethrough adjacent the area of the periphery thereof to provide a visual measurement of the presence of adhesive in said peripheral area between said base and the surface to which said base may be secured by adhesive.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
55 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein a projection is provided on one of said inclined surfaces between said passage opening in said inclined surface and said base to extend the surface of said passage most adjacent base for receiving and guiding a strap inserted in said passage opening and generally toward said base.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A mount as defined in claim 9 wherein said projection extends away from said base along said passage opening to guide a strap inserted into said opening.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
45 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein said strap-receiving passage is generally curved with the ends of said passage curved away from said base whereby a strap fed through said passage will enter and leave said passage toward and away from said base respectively.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
100 words
A mount as defined in claim 1 wherein said base is provided with inspection holes therethrough adjacent the area of the periphery thereof to provide a visual measurement of the presence of adhesive in said peripheral area between said base and the surface to which said base may be secured, and a projection is provided on one of said inclined end surfaces between said passage opening in said inclines surface and said base to extend the surface of said passage most adjacent said base for receiving and guiding a strap inserted in said passage opening and generally toward said base.
