Abstract: A cover system for motor vehicles and other items is described. In one embodiment, the cover system includes a fabric folded in a predetermined manner wound around a roller that is contained in a housing. A front end of the fabric cover is mounted to a guide bar that includes means for securing the guide bar in place when the cover is deployed. In preferred variations, a tubular motor is utilized to facilitate rolling and unrolling of the cover. When used with motor vehicles, the cover system can be mounted in the trunk of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A television mounting system including a television monitor specifically adapted for mounting on a ceiling or a wall is described. The television monitor includes mounting connectors proximate the top of the left, right and rear sides of the monitor's housing. A ceiling bracket is provided to which the connectors are affixed. The ceiling bracket includes a swivel connector that may be mounted to a ceiling. Each of the left and right sides of the housing further include at least two connectors to redundantly secure the television to the ceiling bracket to provide additional safety. A wall bracket is also provided that is adapted to be coupled with the ceiling bracket, thereby permitting the monitor to be attached to a vertical surface.

Abstract: A support structure for a television monitor includes an anchor in the form of a swivel which can be secured to a ceiling joist and includes a unique framework suspended therefrom that includes a tray on which a television monitor can be seated. A detachable shell is adapted to be connected to the framework so as to enclose the framework as well as the television monitor in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The shell has a tinted plexiglass window through which the monitor can be seen when in operation, but prevents viewing of the monitor when it is not operative. A flexible wall mounted in the shell is adapted to be moved between a first position wherein it overlies the tinted window and a second position that is unobstructive of the window.

Abstract: A support system for mounting a television monitor on a ceiling or wall is described in various embodiments providing various options for ceiling or wall mounting and for interconnection with a television monitor. Means are provided for adjusting the viewing angle of the television monitor about a horizontal axis and in some embodiments swivel means are provided for rotating the monitor about a vertical axis to further accomodate optimal viewing.
