  • Patent number: 6585214
    Abstract: An extended travel lift system including a support frame and a display device frame. First and second arms are connected at first ends thereof by a hinge connector. A second end of the first arm is pivotally attached to a first slide mechanism on the support frame and a second end of the second arm is pivotally attached to the support frame. Third and fourth arms are connected at first ends thereof by the hinge connector. A second end of the third arm is pivotally attached to a second slide mechanism on the display device frame and a second end of the fourth arm is pivotally attached to the display device frame. A biasing mechanism is provided to bias the display device frame to an extended position. A height control mechanism is provided to retain the display device frame in either a retracted position or the extended position. The first and second arms are typically located in a first plane and the third and fourth arms are located in a second plane parallel to the first plane.

  • Patent number: 6402109
    Abstract: A self-balancing mounting system for a flat panel display including a first bracket having a first pivot point and a second bracket having a first sliding pivot mechanism with a sliding range of motion located below the first pivot point relative to a vertical axis. The second bracket includes a range of motion between a generally vertical position and a tipped forward position. A minor arm having a first end is pivotally attached to the first pivot point on the first bracket and a second end is pivotally engaged with the first sliding pivot mechanism on the second bracket such that a first force causing the second bracket to tip forward biases the second end of the minor arm upward in the first sliding pivot mechanism.
