  • Patent number: 11841111
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus (1) to mount a flat video screen, forming part of a video wall, to a support comprises a front frame (2) to carry the video screen, and a rear frame (3) to mount to the support, connected by a pair of scissor mechanisms (6). The mounting apparatus (1) has a closed configuration in which the scissor mechanisms (6) are closed and the front (2) and rear (3) frames are close together, and an open configuration in which the scissor mechanisms (6) are open and the frontal frame (2) is spaced away from the rear frame (3). A tension spring (18) is mounted across one scissor mechanism (6), urging it open and biasing the frames (2,3) apart into the open configuration. A series of latch elements (15,16) mounted to the frontal (2) and rear (3) frames engage when the frames (2,3) are pushed together into the closed configuration, holding the frames (2,3) together, but then release when the frames (2,3) are again pushed together, allowing the tension spring (18) to drive them apart.
