摘要： An adjustable mounting device is provided for mounting an object at a selected position relative to a surface. The adjustable mounting device can be easily adjusted with one hand and generally includes a ball member, a stem portion attached to the ball member, a locking member, and first and second mounting portions coupled to the stem portion and the locking member, respectively. The locking member includes a ball retention member and a plunger member. The ball retention member includes first and second ball retention arms that are adapted to slidably engage the exterior surface of the ball member to form a pivotable connection. The plunger member includes a ball contact surface and is extendable between an adjustable position where the ball contact surface slidably engages the exterior surface of the ball member and a locking position where frictional resistance between the ball contact surface and the exterior surface of the ball member fix the position of the locking member relative to the ball member and stem portion.
