Publication number: 20120043437Abstract: A dual method of installing a mounting device to a load-bearing surface includes a mounting device having a back member installed closer to the load-bearing surface than a front member on which an object is mounted. A mounting member is either attached to the back member in a first configuration or the mounting member is attached to the back member in a second configuration. The mounting member is attached to the load-bearing surface such that the load-bearing surface is between the back member and the front member in the first configuration. The back member is between the load-bearing surface and the front member in the second configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2010Publication date: February 23, 2012Applicant: OMNIMOUNT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Michael Joseph TOWNSEND, Patrick Leonard PLEHN

Publication number: 20110084187Abstract: A mounting system for adjustably mounting a flat panel display to a support medium. The system consists of a frame assembly that can be attached to a support medium. One or more adjustable mounts are attached to the frame assembly, and a flat panel display is attached to the adjustable mounts. Each adjustable mount can extend from a retracted position to an extended position in order to tilt the flat panel display and provide an optimum viewing angle to a viewer. As the adjustable mount extends, the center of gravity of the attached flat panel display moves in approximately a horizontal plane, enabling the display to be tilted by a user with a minimum amount of applied force. In some embodiments, a friction assembly is provided to maintain the selected position of each adjustable mount.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2010Publication date: April 14, 2011Applicant: OMNIMOUNT SYSTEMS, INCInventors: Tom Muday, Zachary Eyman, Brett Stenhouse

Publication number: 20110068237Abstract: A system for mounting an object such as a flat screen television on a surface such as a wall. A mounting template is fastened to the surface and defines multiple sets of openings corresponding to multiple mounting configurations. Wall brackets are removably secured within the openings and are then fastened to the surface. Object spacers are fastened to mounting locations on the object corresponding to the mounting configuration of the wall brackets, and are connected to the wall brackets to secure the object to the wall. A level may be secured within the mounting template. The mounting template may include fold lines to facilitate packaging and storage of the mounting template.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: OMNIMOUNT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Michael TOWNSEND, Patrick PLEHN, Keith CHARVONIA

Publication number: 20100001153Abstract: A cantilever mounting device includes a front member on which an object is mounted and a back member for attachment to a load-bearing surface. A first arm is connected to the back member to form a rotatable first joint. A second arm is connected to the first arm to form a rotatable second joint. The front member is connected to the second arm to form a rotatable third joint. The first joint includes a first cam including a first lever and a first shaft for connecting the back member to the first arm. The first cam allows rotation about an axis of the first joint when the first lever is set to a first adjustment position. The first cam does not allow rotation about the axis of the first joint when the first lever is set to a first locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: OMNIMOUNT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Brett STENHOUSE, Michael TOWNSEND, Ray ZUCKERMAN, John C.

Patent number: 7513474Abstract: Systems and methods for mounting flat panel video displays are disclosed herein. Several aspects of the invention are directed to a mounting assembly for adjustably mounting a flat panel video display. The mounting assembly can be carried by a mounting device attached to a support medium (e.g., a wall or other support structure). The mounting assembly includes a first body portion and a second body portion. The mounting assembly also includes a first link and a second link spaced apart from the first link to operably couple the first body portion to the second body portion. The first and second links are positioned to cooperatively move relative to each other to pivotably move the first body portion relative to the second body portion. The mounting assembly also includes a slot in the first and/or second body portions and a locking mechanism received within the slot to releasably hold the first and second body portions in position relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Omnimount Systems, Inc.Inventors: David Anderson, Tom Muday, Flavio Ly Hau
