For adjustably mounting an enclosure such as a loudspeaker to an architectural mass such as on a wall, a ball-and-socket swivel mounting mechanism is enclosed within a rear region of the enclosure, thus eliminating unsightly conventional external swivel-mounting apparatus. A mounting ball, at the end of a shaft cantilevered to the wall, enters the mounting mechanism through a circular opening in a central region of the rear panel of the enclosure. The ball is clamped between a fixed jaw and a movable jaw actuated by an adjusting screw via which the jaw-clamping force can be applied, adjusted and released by a tool inserted through an opening in the front of the enclosure and directed by an internal guide tube to engage the adjusting screw; thus all installation, orientation adjustment, clamping in place and removal of the enclosure can be performed conveniently from the front of the enclosure.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A lockable swivel mounting assembly, for adjustably supporting an enclosure from a fixed mass, comprising:a support arm having a first end configured with mounting means for attachment to the fixed mass in a rigid cantilevered manner and having a second end opposite the first end;a swivel mounting ball rigidly attached to the second end of said support arm;a ball-clamping mechanism, disposed in a clamp housing, constructed and arranged to receive entry of said ball and to clamp onto said ball in a temporary adjustable manner and in a working fixed manner, comprising(a) a fixed jaw, secured in the clamp housing, configured with a ball-engagement cavity constructed and arranged to lockingly engage a generally circular surface area of said ball,(b) a movable jaw, pivotedly mounted in a working relationship relative to said fixed jaw, configured with a ball-engagement cavity similar to that of said fixed jaw,(c) pivot means, mounting said movable jaw in a non-removable pivoting manner relative to the clamp housing, constructed and arranged to provide releasable engagement of the movable jaw ball-engagement cavity with a circular surface area of said ball substantially opposite an area thereof engaged by the fixed jaw cavity;(d) clamping adjustment means, constructed and arranged to actuate said jaws in a manner to enable entry, clamping, release and removal of said ball relative to said jaws, comprising: (1) an adjusting screw, having a tool-engagable head end, and (2) anchor means, secured in common with said fixed jaw and the clamp housing, threadedly engaging said adjusting screw, which is thus enabled to actuate said movable jaw;whereby a user is enabled to actuate said ball-clamping mechanism conveniently by engaging said adjusting screw with a tool inserted through an adjustment access aperture provided in the enclosure and to thus perform installation, orientation adjustment, clamping in place, release and removal of the enclosure in relation to said ball.
