Abstract:
An apparatus for securing a GPS data collector to a range pole includes an elongated base plate. The base plate has sidewalls, retaining wings, at least one first tab resiliently mounted perpendicularly to the base plate, at least one bottom support lip extending normally upward from the bottom of the base plate, and at least one second tab mounted to the bottom support lip and extending upward parallel to the base plate. Each of the tabs are adapted to engage a corresponding slot in the lower end of a data collector and the wings constrain the head end of a data collector unit.
"The only educating you're doing is teaching kids that when they die from cancer, their name will be erased from history in 20 years because the next generation doesn't know who they are. Way to give them hope!" wrote Mark Warneke, 44, a full-time college student in Arlington, Texas.
