  • Patent number: 9140402
    Abstract: An universal mounting system for mounting a projector or other device to a surface. The mounting system comprises a base configured to operatively connect to the mounting surface. The base includes a periphery continuously disposed about the base and proximate an intermediate portion of the base. At least one arm assembly is operatively connectable at any point along the entirety of the periphery. The at least one arm assembly includes at least one connection portion selectively locatable in relation to the periphery and adapted to operatively connect to a coupling location disposed on the projector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7984889
    Abstract: A rotatable display mount for mounting a display device at desired rotational orientation. In one set of embodiments, the rotatable display mount comprises a base plate adapted to operatively connect the display mount to a mounting surface, a sprocket plate operatively connected and rotatable in relation to the base plate, the sprocket plate adapted to be operatively connected to the display device, and a latch member selectively engageable with the sprocket plate. Rotational orientation of the display device is established at defined angular orientations by engagement of the sprocket plate with the latch member.

  • Publication number: 20080179475
    Abstract: A low profile projector mount for media projectors, enabling images of a media projector to be sufficiently aligned with a projection screen upon which the images are to be displayed. The alignment of the low profile projector mount is achieved through pitch, roll, and/or yaw adjustment mechanisms incorporated into the low profile projector mount. The low profile projector mount can be flush mounted to a ceiling or attached to an extension column or other intermediary support system. A quick-release system allows a projector attached to the low profile, projector mount to be removed without disturbing the low profile, projector mount. In addition, retractable members for effectuating the pitch, roll, and/or yaw adjustments are utilized.
