  • Patent number: 10495255
    Abstract: A mounting and leveling system for an electronic image display device (10) formed of an array of multiple display sections (12) facilitates adjustment of the alignment of adjacent display sections to minimize visible seams between display sections. Some embodiments include one or more magnetically actuated fasteners (220) that facilitate front-access-only installation and adjustment without requiring access to the rear, top, bottom, or sides of the array. Tools (300, 410) for installation and removal of display modules (50) from a front side of the display device are also disclosed. Fasteners (220) for providing a hidden adjustable connection between first and second objects are also disclosed. One such fastener includes a screw (226) having a magnetic head (222) that presents a magnetic moment perpendicular to its axis of rotation (234).
