Publication number: 20130068913Abstract: A flat panel display mounting system and method for hanging a display on a wall or the like. The mounting system employs at least two outrigger spindles attached to the back of a display and by flexible wire to a central core element which is removably and slideably attached to a wall. The wire passes from the spindles to the core where it is tensioned within a one way sliding lock using a wedge element which traps the wire between the wedge and a housing Another embodiment includes additional spindles with a kick stand to tilt the panel away from the wall for connection access.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2011Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: Premier MountsInventor: Michael F. Bouissiere

Publication number: 20120305727Abstract: A safety feature for a spindle swivel has a cylindrical portion that fits inside a spindle receiver. The spindle swivel and spindle receiver have a wavy interface between them that ensures at least one preferred azimuthal orientation between them when they are forced together. A twist lock collar is pivotally attached to the spindle receiver, and may be rotated by a user around a central axis, against the action of a torsion spring, from a locked position to an unlocked position. In the locked position, various ramps inside the twist lock collar force respective steel balls radially inward through respective holes in the spindle receiver to engage respective notches in the cylindrical portion of the spindle swivel. In the unlocked position, the ramps decrease the radial inward force on the steel balls, disengaging them from the notches, and the spindle swivel may be separated from the spindle receiver by the user. The safety feature unlocks only some of the balls from their recesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: Premier Mounts, Inc.Inventor: Michael F.

Patent number: 8035757Abstract: The system of the invention involves an anti-slip alignment plate used with a mounting bracket for mounting a device, such as a flat video screen having video mounting holes. The anti-slip plate is aligned with protrusions, or other means, with a plurality engagement members on the bracket which receives the protrusions. Once the plate and bracket have mated in a particular position, a fastener can secure the plate, bracket and device together. The result is that the fastener need not be torqued so tightly because slippage is prevented by the engagement points on the anti-slip plate. Furthermore, the number of position available for the anti-slip plate to secure the device is often substantially greater than would be achieve if the bracket merely had series of adjacent mounting holes.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Premier MountsInventor: Michael F. Bouissiere

Patent number: 7758001Abstract: A system and method of releasably mounting a device, usually to a ceiling, is disclosed. The system has a ceiling mounted unit (200) and a device mounted unit (250), releasably joined preferably by an magnetic coupling (202) which engages a floating plate (252) allowing for positive coupling even if the units are misaligned. A safety latch (256) with a locking/latching claw (260) and ejection/disengagement prong (266) provide positive locking and a method of separating the units despite strong adhesion forces.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Premier MountsInventor: Michael F.

Publication number: 20070095992Abstract: The present invention involves a swing-out apparatus with pliable covers for mounting a flat video screen having a back with attachment holes to a wall. The present invention has: a wall connector, a first swing-out arm with cover holes near each end of the arm, the first swing out arm connects pivotally to the wall connector at one end; and connects pivotally at the other end to an arm-screen connector having a swivel mount with a center tilt hole of predetermined diameter defining a maximum angle of tilt in any direction, and flanges with screen holes. The swivel mount permits about 360° rotation of the flat video screen, and connects to the back of the flat video screen. The apparatus includes pliable covers that fit snuggly into cover holes collecting and concealing cables inside the length of the swing-out arm, and running between the flat video screen and the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Applicant: Premier MountsInventor: Leonard Dozier
