Abstract: Briefly stated, an example of a visual-display screen lift comprises a base and a lower support member attached to the base. An upper support member has an upper end portion and a lower portion telescopically engaged with the lower support member. A visual-display-screen support member is pivotably connected to the upper end portion of the upper support member for pivotably supporting a visual display screen thereon. The visual-display-screen support member has a home position aligning the visual-display-screen support member at a selected angular orientation with respect to the upper support member. A drive mechanism is operatively connected to the upper support member for raising and lowering the upper support member. A sensor is configured to detect an angular position of the visual-display-screen support member. The sensor is operatively connected to the drive mechanism such that operation of the drive mechanism depends upon the angular position of the visual-display-screen support member.

Abstract: A support for a television or other device, including a telescopic column; an L-shaped bracket having one leg secured to a top of the column and another leg extending along a face of the column; a beam, arranged substantially perpendicular to the column, for securing to the L-shaped bracket; at least one connector for securing the television to the beam; and an actuator, arranged inside the column, for extending the column.
