A nautical instrument that can be repetitively mounted to and removed from a surface within a ship without the use of tools or other instruments. The nautical instrument incorporates a mounting system that achieves slidable locking engagement of the nautical instrument to a bulkhead plate that is permanently secured to the surface of the ship. In one embodiment, the invention comprises: a housing containing a gauge; a back plate connected to the housing and having a rear surface; a bracket assembly protruding from the rear surface of the back plate, the bracket assembly comprising a downwardly extending overhang section that forms first and second channels between the overhang section and the rear surface of the back plate, the channels opposing one another in an angled orientation that diverges from the top to the bottom of the nautical instrument; a bulkhead plate comprising means for securing the bulkhead plate to a surface of a boat; a mounting plate assembly connected to a front surface of the bulkhead plate in spaced relation, the mounting plate assembly having first and second angled edges that substantially corresponds to the angled orientation of the channels; and wherein the mounting plate assembly is adapted so that the first and second edges slidably insert into the first and second channels of the bracket assembly respectively when the rear surface of the back plate is positioned adjacent to and above the front surface of the bulkhead plate and the back plate is lowered, thereby effectuating mating engagement of the mounting plate assembly and the bracket assembly.

L'invention concerne un instrument nautique qui peut être à maintes reprises monté sur une surface dans un navire et retiré de celle-ci sans l'aide d'outils ou d'autres instruments. L'instrument nautique selon l'invention comprend un système de montage qui assure le blocage coulissant de l'instrument nautique sur une plaque de cloison fixée de manière permanente à la surface du navire. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention comprend : un logement contenant une jauge; une plaque arrière reliée au logement et possédant une surface arrière; un ensemble support faisant saillie depuis la surface arrière de la plaque arrière, l'ensemble support comprenant une section en porte-à-faux s'étendant vers le bas et formant des premier et second canaux entre elle et la surface arrière de la plaque arrière, les canaux se faisant face selon une orientation angulaire divergeant du sommet au bas de l'instrument nautique; une plaque de cloison comprenant des moyens lui permettant d'être fixée sur une surface d'un navire; et un ensemble plaque de montage relié à une surface avant de la plaque de cloison à une certaine distance de celle-ci, l'ensemble plaque de montage possédant des premier et second bords angulaires correspondant sensiblement à l'orientation angulaire des canaux. L'ensemble plaque de montage est conçu de manière que les premier et second bords s'introduisent de manière coulissante dans les premier et second canaux de l'ensemble support, respectivement, lorsque la surface arrière de la plaque arrière est placée de manière adjacente à la surface avant de la plaque de cloison et au-dessus de cette dernière et que la plaque arrière est abaissée, ce qui permet de réaliser l'accouplement de l'ensemble plaque de montage et l'ensemble support.
