Abstract: A television supporting frame includes a peripheral frame structure and mounting bracket assemblies extending between opposite portions of the frame structure for mounting a television in a vibration-isolated relationship thereto. Each bracket assembly includes a first mounting rail extending between and rigidly connected to the opposite portions of the frame structure, a second mounting rail extending generally parallel along the first mounting rail and spaced therefrom and from the frame structure and adapted to mount the television. A plurality of vibration-dampening elements are disposed between and interconnect the second mounting rail to the first mounting rail and the opposite portions of the frame structure so as to mount the second mounting rail to be floatably movable along generally orthogonal X, Y and Z axes such that any vibrations imparted to the frame structure will be prevented from reaching the second mounting rails and the television mounted thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a flat bed television on a door mounted on a ceiling, or a cabinet which is mounted to a ceiling. The door and television are selectively pivoted between a retracted storage position and an extended television viewing position. Drive nut assemblies threadingly engage and are adapted to travel along drive screws which are rotatably driven by selectively reversible motors. Cables extend over guide wheels rotatably supported on the drive nut assemblies and extend and are connected to the door. As the drive nut assemblies are caused to travel along the drive screws, the cable lengths extending to the door are selectively lengthened and shortened for thereby selectively pivotally extending and retracting the door and television between the respective viewing and storage positions.
