Abstract: A panel television mounting assembly includes a mounting frame, and a reversible shelf for supporting a television accessory either above or below the panel television. The mounting frame includes a back configured and arranged to be secured to a support structure such as a wall or a supporting spine structure on a console, and a front configured and arranged to receive and support a flat panel television. The reversible shelf can be assembled with the mounting frame in a first configuration wherein the shelf is adjacent the top of the mounting frame with for supporting a television accessory above a panel television, or in a second configuration wherein the shelf is adjacent the bottom of the mounting frame for supporting a television accessory below a panel television.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides hinging apparatuses, structures, and systems for folding support furniture systems, and methods of assembly therefor. The disclosed subject matter advantageously provides structurally rigid connections between component parts of support furniture systems, while allowing for durable support furniture. In various non-limiting embodiments, the provided hinging apparatuses allow for a folding support furniture system to be folded up for convenient and efficient storage and ease of transport. With the hinges extended to their designed extension point, and when fully assembled, the hinging apparatuses, in conjunction with the disclosed locking mechanisms provide the structural rigidity and load bearing capability necessary to support current and future home entertainment system weight loads, as well as providing numerous advantages for other support furniture markets.
