Abstract: A mounting apparatus includes a plurality of arm mounts which are rotationally coupled in a vertical column in end to end relationship to provide a nested arrangement thereof. A support arm is attached to each of the arm mounts to which an electronic device is attached. The arm mounts are secured in nested arrangement between a pair of mounting plates which engage the ends of an elongated shield at least partially surrounding the arm mounts.

Abstract: A display arm having an elongated outer housing, an elongated inner housing telescopically engaged within the outer housing, a biasing member coupled with the outer housing and operative to counter-balance the inner housing within the outer housing, and a locking mechanism for locking the position of the inner housing relative to the outer housing. The locking mechanism may include a first locking vane and a second locking vane, each locking vane having a sloped surface abutting an edge of the inner housing and a second surface abutting an interior surface of the outer housing, wherein the sloped surfaces initiate spreading of the locking vanes when the locking vanes are pulled into an extended position by the locking mechanism such that the second surfaces engage the interior surface of the outer housing with sufficient force to prevent movement of the inner housing relative to the outer housing.

Abstract: A mounting bracket and insert for use in mounting mountable devices to a mounting pole including a first section and a second section, each of said first and second sections having a concave surface, each concave surface having at least a one longitudinally extended groove, the first and second sections being joinable to one another, with such joining forming a cylindrical area between the first and second sections, said cylindrical area formed by said concave surfaces, and at least a pair of inserts, each insert having a convex surface sized to fit within the concave surface of one of the two sections, the convex surface of each insert having at least one protrusion aligned along the longitudinal axis of the insert and shaped to fit into at least one groove of the concave surfaces of the sections is described.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extension arm apparatus with angled clevis operation to provide enhanced mechanical leverage. The clevis adjusts along a path angled relative to an axis of the device, which significantly boosts performance and can reduce the size of the apparatus. Upper and lower channels of the device taper from a first width to a second width, providing a sleek and functional apparatus that can be used with heavy monitors, displays or other user equipment. When a forearm extension attached to an endcap of the apparatus, an interlocking washer and shaft configuration prevents the forearm extension-endcap connection from loosening during operation.

Abstract: An adjustable support apparatus including a pole having a plurality of first elements exposed at an exterior surface of the pole. The apparatus also including a clamping member having a top surface, an outer surface and an inner surface having a second element. The second element cooperating with one of the first elements such that said clamping member is at least loosely affixed to the pole. The apparatus further including a collar adapted to be positioned about the clamping element. The clamping member affixing the collar to the pole.

Abstract: A tilter assembly is provided for positioning an electronic device such as a flat panel display. The tilter assembly includes a tilter shaft holder having an opening aligned along an axis and a shaft received within the opening. The shaft is rotatable about the axis, and may be coupled to a support. The tilter shaft holder is coupled to the electronic device. The tilter assembly also includes a torsion spring device in operative association with the shaft to provide a bias or counterbalance to the electronic device, thereby preventing undesired rotation about the axis. The torsion spring device may be adjustably tensioned by a tension mechanism.

Abstract: A forearm extension for an adjustable extension arm for mounting an electronic device. The forearm extension provides a cable pathway therethrough in which a cable for an electronic device may extend for protecting and/or obscuring the cable from view.

Abstract: A method of assembling a bracket from a plurality of components adapted for mounting a device for a supporting surface. A plurality of components are provided which can be assembled into a plurality of brackets each of a different configuration. At least one of the components includes a shaft holder having an opening formed therein adapted to movably support the device. At least one of the brackets can be assembled from less than all of the components. The brackets are formed by assembling a plurality of the components including at least the shaft holder.

Abstract: A quick release assembly is provided to enable a user to easily attach and detach electronic equipment such as a flat panel monitor to an extension arm or other mounting device. One embodiment of the quick release assembly includes an adapter plate for connecting to the electronic equipment, a connecting plate for securing to the mounting device, and a release plate disposed between the adapter plate and the connecting plate. When fully assembled, the user can press a release mechanism on the release plate to disengage the release plate and the connecting plate from the adapter unit. After the release mechanism is pressed, the connecting plate can be slid off of the adapter plate. Unlike conventional devices, it is not necessary to remove or loosen hard to reach fasteners in order to disconnect the electronic device from the mounting device.

Abstract: A rail mount is provided for positioning an electronic device such as a flat panel display that is mounted to a support arm. The rail mount includes a wall mount and lower and upper mounts received by the wall mount. The wall mount is adapted for attaching to a surface and includes a pair of elongated rails having an axis therebetween. The lower and upper mounts are received within the rails, and each includes a central opening aligned along the axis. An endcap of the support arm is received within the lower and upper mounts and is rotatable about the axis.

Abstract: An extension arm suitable for mounting a flat-screen electronic peripheral device, including a forearm extension having at one end a first coupling for attachment to a tilter, a platform or other means for supporting a flat-screen device and at the other end a second coupling. The extension arm also includes a pair of end caps, each having a shaft. The shaft of the first end cap is pivotably rotatable in a support mount, such as a wall, desk or pole mount. The shaft of the second end cap is pivotably rotatable in the second coupling of the forearm extension. The extension arm also includes an upper channel and a lower channel. Each channel has at opposite ends a pair of integrally cast rollers which are pivotably attached to each of the end caps. The upper and lower channels and the end caps form an adjustable parallelogram.
