Abstract: This mounting system can be used to house a television or other appliance against, or in, a wall, ceiling, floor or table. A user may manipulate the position and orientation of the housed appliance from its storage position to an operational position. The entire system can be completely concealed from view by a decorative cover while providing ready access to the appliance. To operate the appliance, the mount provides for extension and/or rotation to a desired position without removal of the concealing cover. A mounting bracket is attached to a fixed structure, and an appliance interface bracket is adapted for attachment to the appliance. A system of linkage arms couples the two brackets. Multiple linkage arm systems accommodate various lengths of extension and degrees of rotation including 180°. In all cases provision is made for concealed containment of all power and control cables necessary for operation of the appliance.
