Abstract: A mounting assembly for securing an entertainment device to a vehicle seat having a pair of spaced headrest post guides extending through a top surface of the vehicle seat is provided. The mounting assembly includes a first bracket member having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end and the second end each configured to attach to a respective headrest post guide with the first bracket member extending between the headrest post guides. A second bracket member is configured to support an entertainment device and is slidingly attached to the first bracket member and is selectively securable between forward and aft locations relative to the first bracket member to position the entertainment device rearwardly of the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A vehicle entertainment system includes a console positioned behind a vehicle seat and houses electronics of the vehicle entertainment system. A mount extends rearwardly from the console and is attached to headrest post guides of the vehicle seat by which the console is attached to the vehicle seat. A display screen is movably attached to the console for positioning between stowed and extended positions, wherein the display screen extends vertically upward from the console and is positioned behind and at about the same elevation of a headrest of the vehicle seat when in the extended position. The mount is low profile and does not interfere with the standard operation of the vehicle headrest.

Abstract: It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a mounting bracket for securing a video system behind a headrest including parallel support arms. The mounting bracket includes a rear support plate adapted for substantial vertical orientation for orienting a video system secured thereto in an orientation facing the passengers seated within the rear seat of a vehicle. The rear support plate includes a front surface to which the video system is secured, a rear surface which ultimately faces the rear surface of the headrest, a top edge, a bottom edge and first and second lateral side edges. First and second attachment members extend rearwardly from the rear support plate. The first attachment member includes a top horizontal plate connected to a bottom horizontal plate. The second attachment member includes a top horizontal plate connected to a bottom horizontal plate.

Abstract: A video system for selective mounting within a cradle secured to a ceiling of an automobile includes a video housing in which a video monitor and a video source are mounted and a base secured to the video housing in a manner that permits rotation of the video housing. The video housing includes a mounting bracket and the base includes a mounting bracket for use in pivotally coupling the video housing to the base. A motorized first hinge connects the base to the video housing for facilitating pivotal movement between the video housing and the base between a use position and a storage position, the first hinge includes a pivot pin having a first end and a second end and extends between, and is coupled to, the mounting bracket of the video housing and the mounting bracket of the base, the second end of the pivot pin is fixedly coupled to the mounting bracket of the base. The drive motor assembly is mounted to the video housing.

Abstract: A hinge for use in conjunction with an overhead mobile video system includes a pivot rod fixedly coupled to a mounting bracket, a housing pivotally mounted upon the pivot rod and a friction spring interposed between the pivot rod and the housing controlling rotation of the mounting bracket relative to the housing.
