  • Patent number: 7950613
    Abstract: A low profile moveable mounting system for mounting a device to a surface. According to various embodiments, a surface bracket is operatively connected to a surface member attachable to a surface, one or more hinged translation assemblies are rotatably connected to the surface bracket and rotatably connected to a device bracket adapted for operative connection to a device, and a link member rotatably connected to the surface bracket and the device bracket. The moveable mounting system is selectively tiltable and moveable between an extended orientation, where the device bracket is displaced substantially perpendicular from the surface and a retracted orientation, where the device bracket is positionable proximate the surface. The moveable mounting system may be particularly adapted for mounting a flat panel display device.

  • Patent number: 7891620
    Abstract: A moveable mount equipped with a motor drive set that comprises a motor and a gear that make one or more axles with attached arms move in a linear manner along longer sides coupled to the casing and, simultaneously, rotate during linear relocation, and where the motor along with the drive transmitting elements are placed in the casing of the mount. In an embodiment, the driving power is simultaneously transmitted by a cable from the motor to the pair of slides with one or more blocks situated on one or more slides in which the arms and the axles are mounted in a rotary manner.

  • Patent number: 7891622
    Abstract: An improved tilt mounting system for mounting flat panel televisions and similar devices or displays. In various embodiments, at least one mounting bracket includes a plurality of guide mechanisms that are adjustable in orientation relative to each other. When the guide mechanisms are adjusted, the angle between guide structures contained therein changes. As the angle between the guide structures increases, the mounting system becomes more suitable for larger devices or display.

  • Patent number: 7887015
    Abstract: An improved mounting system used to mount an audio/visual device, such as a flat panel display, to a desktop or other substantially horizontal mounting surface. According to various embodiments, a surface mounting system comprises a support assembly which mates with one or more collars positioned above and below the surface to which the mounting system is secured. The collars secure the rest of the mounting system to the desktop, and the collars may also secure other components which serve to prevent the support assembly from rotating in an undesirable manner. Only a single hole needs to be made in the desktop or other surface to which the system is mounted, while the number of components that are needed to attach the mounting system to the surface in a secure manner can be minimized. No locking agent is also need to properly and sufficiently secure the surface mounting system to the desktop.

  • Patent number: 7883067
    Abstract: A ceiling mounting system configured to provide height and viewing angle adjustment for a flat panel display mounted thereon. An adapter plate attaches to at least one rear surface of a flat panel display. A tube, at a first end, is pivotally attached to the adapter plate, while the tube, at a second end is attached to a ceiling decoupler. The ceiling decoupler has integrated therein, a return to zero mechanism configured to withstand impact to the ceiling mounting system and/or flat panel display, and return to a default position once the impact is released. Various related media components can also be secured to the adapter plate, while the tube, in conjunction with the adapter plate allows for cable and cord routing and management. A back cover slidably engages the adapter plate to hide the rear of the flat panel display and any related media components, cables, and cords.
