  • Publication number: 20120300134
    Abstract: A rotary stand for TV screen or monitor, which require an adjustable angular position relative to its vertical axis, secured in a holder in a bearing column, mounted rotationally in a fixed mount, fitted with a controlled electric drive of the bearing column bi-directional rotation and a potentiometer for electric adjustment of the bearing column angular position is described together with a support stand that is mountable to a lateral wall. The stand has a programmable control system enabling the limit angular positions of the screen secured in the holder on the bearing column to be automatically set and programmed. A remote control for controlling the rotation of the TV monitor and an LED lighting strip for showing the position of the TV monitor selected and a direction of movement of the TV monitor are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070152112
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for affixing a flat screen display device to a vertical lift mechanism having vertical guide members situated at the lateral sides of a lift including at least one pair of mounting members, at least one pair of hanging members, at least one elongate support member, and at least one pair of bracket members. Each mounting member of the pair is affixed to a respective one of the pair of vertical tubular members at an adjustable position thereon in substantially horizontal alignment with the other mounting member of the pair. Each hanging member of the pair is affixed to a respective one of the mounting members. The at least one elongate support member is adapted for connection to mounting components at the rear of the flat screen display device and structured and arranged to extend substantially horizontally when the display device is mounted to the tubular members of the lift mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20060137185
    Abstract: A frame for mounting a lift apparatus for a video display in an article of furniture. The frame includes an elongate upper member, an elongate lower member, an elongate connecting member, and lift mounting elements. The elongate upper member has opposite ends and a substantial mid-region. The elongate lower member extends substantially parallel to the upper elongate member and has opposite ends and a substantial mid-region. The elongate connecting member has opposite end portions affixed to the upper and lower elongate members at regions offset from the substantial mid-regions thereof. The lift mounting elements are provided on the upper and lower elongate members at the substantial mid-regions thereof for mounting a lift apparatus to the upper and lower elongate members at the substantial mid-regions thereof.

  • Patent number: 7044423
    Abstract: The present invention is a compound motorized lift device facilitating the uninterrupted and nearly noiseless movement of a low-profile television. The invention is comprised of a base unit, an intermediate unit, and a support unit slidably disposed in a telescoping fashion in the described order. A pair of linearly extensible slides are fastened between base and intermediate units and between intermediate and support units. The intermediate unit is extended and retracted with respect to the base unit in a linear fashion via a motor driven screw. The support unit is extended and retracted in a linear fashion via a cable-pulley arrangement that couples motion by the intermediate unit in a likewise direction to the support unit.

  • Patent number: 7043810
    Abstract: The present invention is a sub-cabinet readily insertable and removable from a larger decorative cabinet. The invention is comprised of a box-like structure having at least three panels perpendicularly disposed with respect to a floor panel and attached thereto, a lift vertically disposed within the box-like structure and fastened thereto, and a control module disposed within the box-like structure and fastened thereto. The control module receives commands from a limit switch so as to stop the lift motion when fully retracted or extended. Furthermore, the control module regulates electrical power to a display device fastened to the lift based upon the direction of travel of the support unit. The control module receives function commands from either a wireless remote or a switch. An alternate embodiment of the present invention further comprises a safety strip attached about an edge along one or more panels adjacent to a movable lid hinged to a decorative cabinet.

  • Publication number: 20050045077
    Abstract: A motorized lift device facilitating the uninterrupted and nearly noiseless movement of a low-profile television. The motorized lift comprises a base unit having a support unit slidably disposed thereon in a vertically-oriented and telescoping fashion. Support unit movement is controlled via a motor directly coupled to a transmission which is coupled to a screw. Coupling between screw and an elevator plate converts screw rotation to linear motion within the support unit. A low-friction floating nut between elevator plate and screw, as well as several low-friction couplings between base unit and support unit reduce noise, wobbling, eliminate binding, and accommodates for misalignments during movement. The support unit accommodates for vertical and horizontal adjustability during mounting and installation of any size low-profile television.
