  • Patent number: 11668431
    Abstract: A display mounting system including a central upright support, a first support arm connecting a first terminal upright support to the central upright support, a second support arm connecting a second terminal upright support to the central upright support, and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is connected to one of the support arms and is configured to receive an electronic display. At least one of the support arms is rotatably connected to the central upright support such that the support arms can be selectively rotated between an open position and a collapsed position. In embodiments, the support arms are configured to disconnect from the central upright support and the terminal upright supports such that the central upright support and a support arm can be removed, or additional central upright supports and support arms can be incorporated.

  • Patent number: 10989416
    Abstract: A damper assembly for use with an exhaust port in an upper wall of an exhaust hood comprises a mounting plate having a central opening, the mounting plate being attachable to the underside of the upper wall in overlying relation to the exhaust port. A damper plate is mounted on the mounting plate for pivotal movement about a pivot axis in a first rotational direction between a first limit position whereat the damper plate is fully removed from occluding the central opening and a second limit position whereat the damper plate occludes the central opening. A drive housing has a drive shaft drive extending therefrom for operative connection to the damper plate to drive the pivotal movement thereof. A damper actuator is mounted in the drive housing and connected to the drive shaft to effect bi-directional rotation of the drive shaft.
