  • VERSATILE BRACKET SYSTEM FOR DISPLAY DEVICES
    Publication number: 20090114787
    Abstract: A versatile bracket system for display devices includes a component that is attached to a backside of the display device. The component is moveable about the attachment between a first position relative to the backside of the display device and a second position relative to the backside of the display device. The first position of the component allows the component to be attached to an underside surface to thereby place the display device in a hanging viewing position. The second position of the component allows the component to cooperate with the display device and a topside surface to thereby place the display device in a standing viewing position.
