Patent number: 9253917Abstract: An improved mounting bracket that provides an indication to an installer when a mount is not correctly aligned. The mounting bracket comprises a mounting contact portion and at least one side portion integrally connected to the mounting contact portion, with the at least one side portion defining a receiving region for accepting one or more retaining portions of a mount. The at least one side portion includes a first ramped surface at least partially outside of the receiving region. The first ramped surface configured to contact a retaining portion when the retaining portion is misaligned with the receiving region, thereby informing an installer of the misalignment.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Peerless Industries, Inc.Inventors: William Phuong Lam, Dugan O'Keene, Garry Monaco

Patent number: 8282059Abstract: A mounting system comprising an incremental angular position and locking system. A tilt bracket is configured to operatively connect to a surface, and an adapter bracket is operatively and movably connected to the tilt bracket, with the adapter bracket being configured to operatively connect to an object such as an audio/video device. A plurality of angular position features are associated with one of the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket, and an angular positioning element is configured to selectively engage at least one of the plurality of angular position features. When the angular positioning element is in engaged with at least one angular position feature, the adapter bracket is impeded from moving relative to the tilt bracket. When the angular positioning element is not in engagement with at least one angular position feature, the adapter bracket is substantially free to move relative to the tilt bracket.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Peerless Industries, Inc.Inventor: Garry A.

Patent number: 7950613Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Peerless Industries, Inc.Inventors: Donald Anderson, Garry Monaco, James Stemple

Publication number: 20100172072Abstract: A low profile moveable mounting system for mounting a device to a surface. According to various embodiments, a first pair of rotating arms is rotatably connected to a surface plate attachable to a surface, and a second pair of arms are rotatably connected to the first pair of arms and to a device bracket. The moveable mounting system is selectively moveable between an extended orientation, where the device bracket is horizontally displaced from the surface and a retracted orientation, where the device bracket is positionable within close proximity of the surface. The moveable mounting system may be particularly adapted for mounting a flat panel display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2009Publication date: July 8, 2010Inventor: Garry Monaco
