In one aspect of the invention, the system includes first and second support bases and an equipment carriage. The equipment carriage defines a first locking assembly for selectively locking with the first support base and a second locking assembly for selectively locking with the second support base and is simultaneously engageable with the first and second support bases via the first and second locking assemblies. An actuator is operable to simultaneously unlock the equipment carriage from the first support base and lock the equipment carriage to the second support base.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventors: Jean T.Y. Wong, Jonathan Levesque, Vincent Carbonneau Martel

Publication number: 20080149789Abstract: A motorized mounting system includes a first portion and a second portion where the first portion is adapted to attach to a mounting surface such as a ceiling or wall, and the second portion is adapted to couple to the back side of a monitor such as a plasma or LCD TV. The second portion has a hinge bracket that attaches to the back side of the monitor. The hinge bracket is mechanically couple to a first motor where activation of the first motor causes the hinge bracket to tilt the monitor. The second portion is mechanically coupled to a second motor where activation of the second motor causes the second portion to swivel relative to the first portion. The motorized mounting system can be controlled by a remote control the tilt and swivel the monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2007Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventors: Byung J.
