Zusammenfassung:A floating mount for attaching a device to a chassis, and for facilitating alignment of the device with respect to another structure fixed relative to the chassis. The floating mount includes a biasing member fixed to the chassis and a carrier adapted to mount to the device. The carrier includes an engaging portion for engaging the biasing member and receiving a retaining force exerted by the biasing member. The carrier also includes an aligning surface for abutting the other structure and for receiving an aligning force sufficient to overcome the retaining force and displace the carrier and the device into proper alignment with the other structure.
