Abstract: A height-adjustable flat panel display mount is provided. The height-adjustable flat panel display mount may include a wall plate that couples to a wall. The vertical rails may couple to a flat panel display. The vertical rails may also couple to the wall plate by way of one or more independent height-adjustment mechanisms. Adjusting one of the height-adjustment mechanisms in a first direction elevates the vertical rail to which it is coupled with respect to the floor, while adjusting the mechanism in the opposite direction lowers the vertical rail.

Abstract: A flexible mounting system and apparatus, the system comprising a horizontally collapsible frame and one or more vertical mounting rails coupled to the horizontally collapsible frame. The horizontally collapsible frame is comprised of two horizontal rails, a first side rail pivotally mounted to the two horizontal rails, wherein the first side rail is hinged at the midpoint by a first stationary connector, and a second side rail pivotally mounted to the two horizontal rails, wherein the second side rail is hinged at the midpoint by a second stationary connector.

Abstract: A flexible rack shelving system, the system comprising the A rack shelving system, the a rack shelf, wherein the rack shelf comprises: two vertical side walls, wherein each vertical side wall contains a plurality of apertures, and a base, wherein the base is pivotally mounted by at least one hinge to each of the two vertical side walls. The rack shelf further comprises a rack, wherein the rack shelf is placed inside the rack and attached by way of interlocking between protrusions in the rack and the plurality of apertures in the vertical side walls.

Abstract: A corner shelf system may include a support assembly and a shelf. The support assembly may include at least two support members coupled at about a 90° angle. The support members may be coupled together by a ratchet mechanism. The about 90° angle at which the support members are coupled may be adjustable by way of the ratchet mechanism. At least two of the support members may each include a channel that slideably receives an edge of the shelf.

Abstract: A mounting system for adjustably mounting a flat panel display to a support medium. The system consists of a frame assembly that can be attached to a support medium. One or more adjustable mounts are attached to the frame assembly, and a flat panel display is attached to the adjustable mounts. Each adjustable mount can extend from a retracted position to an extended position in order to tilt the flat panel display and provide an optimum viewing angle to a viewer. As the adjustable mount extends, the center of gravity of the attached flat panel display moves in approximately a horizontal plane, enabling the display to be tilted by a user with a minimum amount of applied force. In some embodiments, a friction assembly is provided to maintain the selected position of each adjustable mount.

Abstract: A cantilever mounting device includes a front member on which an object is mounted and a back member for attachment to a load-bearing surface. A first arm is connected to the back member to form a rotatable first joint. A second arm is connected to the first arm to form a rotatable second joint. The front member is connected to the second arm to form a rotatable third joint. The first joint includes a first cam including a first lever and a first shaft for connecting the back member to the first arm. The first cam allows rotation about an axis of the first joint when the first lever is set to a first adjustment position. The first cam does not allow rotation about the axis of the first joint when the first lever is set to a first locked position.
