  • Publication number: 20240110663
    Abstract: A device for wall mounting a display including a mount assembly and a swivel mechanism assembly. The mount assembly includes a television mounting portion and an extending/contracting portion and the swivel mechanism assembly moveable between a first and a second configuration and including a biasing component. The extending/contracting portion includes a lower arm, an upper arm, a front bracket, a wall mounting bracket, one or more gas springs, and a linear actuator. The one or more gas springs and the linear actuator may lower and raise the television mounting portion. The biasing component is configured to bias the television mounting portion to swivel in a first or a second direction when the swivel mechanism assembly is in the first configuration when the display mounting portion is lowered. The mount assembly may include a set screw to set a swivel stop for the first and the second swivel directions.

  • Patent number: 11856317
    Abstract: A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.
