1. A swivel mount assembly comprising:
(a) an arm with an exterior surface;
(b) a pair of ball portions, each said ball portion includes a center portion with an outer surface and an inner surface bounded by a pair of sides disposed between a pair of ends and a flange portion extending at each said side; and
(c) a collar includes a pair of faces separately disposed on said collar within an aperture of said collar with a socket at each said face, each said socket includes a surface which extends into said collar at said face;
wherein:
said arm disposed between said ball portions,
said inner surface of said center portions engage said arm,
said outer surface of each said center portion engages one said socket,
said arm being swivelable with respect to said collar as said center portions slidingly move within said sockets,
said flange portions extend outwardly in opposite directions from each said center portion within said aperture,
said flange portions being interposed between said faces and rotatingly movable in direction of said faces,
said flange portions of said center portion being contactable with said face about said surface of said socket engaged by said center portion,
said center portion engages said socket so that both said flange portions of said ball portion cannot simultaneously contact said face,
said flange portions and said center portions being rotatingly movable within said aperture as said arm swivels,
said flange portions of said ball portion being rotatingly movable in opposite directions as said center portion slidingly moves within said socket so that one said flange moves toward said flange of other said ball portion at one said side of said center portions while one said flange moves away from said flange of other said ball portion at other said side of said center portions,
said center portions engage said arm so that both said flange portions of one said ball portion cannot simultaneously contact both said flange portions of other said ball portion,
said face of said collar being contactable by one of said flange portions of said ball portion within said aperture so that said center portion does not slidingly disengage from said socket as said arm swivels.
