Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to mounting systems, and more particularly to a flat-panel display mount apparatus that enables the display to be attached to a mounting surface and positioned at an optimum viewing location.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The popularity of electronic flat-panel displays, such as for televisions and computers, has greatly increased in recent years as such displays have become increasingly available and inexpensive. Currently manufactured and marketed displays come in a variety of different sizes and types, including liquid-crystal, light-emitting-diode, and plasma screens. Given that these types of displays are thinner than traditional cathode-ray or projection screens, these displays may be positioned or mounted in a large variety of places—particularly, as is becoming increasingly popular, on a wall or similar mounting surface—and ways.
- Ways of mounting such displays range from using simple devices that hang the display on the wall like a picture to large mounting systems that enable close to universal position adjustment or other features. Some of these latter systems are cantilevered away from the wall, such that the position of the display can be adjusted, while others comprise adjustable protrusions of various sorts to provide for limited position and orientation adjustment—most commonly, the angle at which the display is tilted, tilting comprising rotating the display around a horizontal axis. Others allow for panning (similar to tilting, except that the display is rotated around a vertical axis). Other types of adjustment include translational depth (the distance the display is located from the wall), translational vertical positioning, and translational horizontal positioning.
- Even given their complexity, many existing systems are limited in their capabilities. Current mounting systems can be and often are expensive, heavy, and awkwardly large, limiting the surfaces on which a flat-panel display can be mounted.
- The complex nature of many mounting systems also detracts from the sleek aesthetic appeal of the flat-panel display, which is one of the primary reasons consumers purchase such displays in the first place.
- Many mounting systems are further limited in that they are unable to accommodate more than one or a few of the large variety of screens offered by different manufacturers—and often the same manufacturer—which can vary in weight, height, depth, breadth, delicacy, and method of mounting.
- Generally, the more numerous the ways of adjusting position and orientation in mounting systems, the larger, more expensive, and more complex the mounting system becomes. Some existing mounting systems take up 1,500 cubic inches of space, limiting the locations in which they may be placed.
- It is often the case that the user does not desire a generally expensive and complex device that allows for adjustment in all possible ways, but neither does he desire a display that, once it is mounted on the wall, cannot be adjusted at all.
- From the foregoing discussion, then, it should be apparent that a need exists for an apparatus and system that allows for adjustment of the flat-panel display in as optimal a viewing position as possible, using a few basic types of adjustment, while minimizing disadvantages such as high cost, weight, and bulkiness. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would also accommodate a large number of displays of differing manufacture and size.
- The present invention has been developed in response to the present state of the art, and in response to the problems and needs in the art that have not yet been fully solved by currently available display mounting apparatuses and systems. In particular, the invention addresses the construction and adjustment capabilities of display mounting systems while minimizing problems of cost, complexity, and size.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, one embodiment of a display mount apparatus comprises a first mounting bracket adapted for attachment to a mounting surface, a horizontal cross member attached to the mounting bracket, and a first vertical attachment member attached to the horizontal cross member, the first vertical attachment member further adapted for attachment to a display. A second mounting bracket and a second vertical attachment member may also be provided, positioned laterally from and disposed in like manner to their counterparts.
- In one embodiment, the mounting bracket contains a hook and the horizontal cross member contains a flange, the flange fitting into the hook in mounting engagement. The mounting bracket can further contain an upper hook and a lower hook, with the horizontal cross member containing an upper flange and a lower flange, the upper flange fitting into the upper hook and the lower flange fitting into the lower hook, in mounting engagement.
- In a further embodiment, a hole is positioned in the vertical attachment member, the size and shape of the hole approximately the same as the cross-sectional size and shape of the horizontal cross member, with the horizontal cross member positioned through the hole in sliding engagement.
- In a further embodiment, the vertical attachment member is elongated and comprises a plurality of attachment points along its length for attachment to the display, whereby the display can be attached to the vertical attachment member at one or more of the plurality of points along its length. A vertical extension member can be provided to attach to and extend the effective attachment length of the vertical attachment member to the display.
- Reference throughout this specification to features, advantages, or similar language does not imply that all of the features and advantages that may be realized with the present invention should be or are in any single embodiment of the invention. Rather, language referring to the features and advantages is understood to mean that a specific feature, advantage, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Discussion of the features and advantages, and similar language, throughout this specification may, but do not necessarily, refer to the same embodiment.

Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that various modifications to the devices and systems may readily be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the invention. Thus, the following description is intended only by way of example, illustrating certain selected embodiments of devices, systems, and processes that are consistent with the invention as claimed herein.
- Referring first to
FIG. 1 , an embodiment of adisplay mount apparatus 10 in accordance with one aspect of the invention is shown. Thedisplay mount apparatus 10 is used to mount a flat-panel display 50. - The
display mount apparatus 10 comprises twomounting brackets 12, used to mount thedisplay mount apparatus 10 to a wall or similar mounting surface, ahorizontal cross member 20 mounted on themounting brackets 12, and twovertical attachment members 18 attached to thecross member 20, with thedisplay 50 attached to thevertical attachment members 18. The components of theapparatus 10 can be constructed of metal or composite or other material of sufficient strength suitable for the purpose. - Referring particularly to
FIG. 2 , eachmounting bracket 12 has anelongate center portion 41 andflanges 43 extending at right angles from each lengthwise edge of thecenter portion 41. Thecenter portion 41 contains throughholes 13 through which mountingscrews 40 pass to attach themounting bracket 12 to a wall or other mounting surface, shown aswall 90 inFIGS. 8 through 10 . Theholes 13 are elliptical to allow for plumb adjustment of themounting brackets 12. - The
flanges 43 each contain anupper opening 66 and alower opening 68 on their outer edge. The upper andlower openings portion portions upper opening 66, recessedportion 70, and upper raisedportion 74 constitute an upper hook, while thelower opening 68, recessedportion 72, and lower raisedportion 76 constitute a lower hook. - If desired, the mounting
brackets 12 can contain more hooks than the two shown and described herein, allowing thecross member 20 to be vertically adjusted by mounting it to a higher or lower set of hooks, resulting in vertical movement of thedisplay 50. - As shown particularly in
FIG. 3 , thehorizontal cross member 20 is elongated and shaped in cross-section such that it attaches to the mountingbrackets 12 in secure engagement. Thecross member 20 comprises acenter portion 84, anupper edge portion 82 extending from the upper part of thecenter portion 84, and anupper flange 80 extending downwardly from theupper edge portion 82. When engaging the mountingbrackets 12, theupper flange 80 enters theupper opening 66 of the mountingbrackets 12 and rests in theupper recess 70, with theupper edge portion 82 resting on the upper raisedportion 74. - A
lower edge portion 86 extends from the lower part of thecenter portion 84 of thecross member 20, and alower flange 88 extends downwardly from thelower edge portion 86. When engaging the mountingbracket 12, thelower flange 88 enters thelower opening 68 of the tilt bracket 16 and rests in thelower recess 72, with thelower edge portion 86 resting on the lower raisedportion 76. - In one embodiment, when the weight of the
display 50 is allowed to rest entirely on themount apparatus 10, the weight of thedisplay 50 causes theupper flange 80 and thelower flange 88 to press into theupper recess 70 and onto the upper raisedportion 74, also causing thelower flange 88 and thelower edge portion 86 to press into thelower recess 72 and onto the lower raisedportion 76, thus securely engaging thecross member 20 and mountingbrackets 12. When theapparatus 10 is partially or wholly relieved of the weight of thedisplay 50, such as when the user lifts thedisplay 50, the described engagement of thecross member 20 with the mountingbrackets 12 enables the user to slide thecross member 20 through the mountingbrackets 12, moving thedisplay 50 in a horizontal direction for desired positioning. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , in the embodiment of the invention shown thehorizontal cross member 20 is attached to twovertical attachment members 18 which, by their construction and arrangement, allow for further adjustment of the position of the flat-panel display 50. Eachvertical attachment member 18 is elongated and constructed with acenter portion 53 andflanges 54 extending from the edges of thecenter portion 53. Theflanges 54 impart strength to thevertical attachment member 18, and they also accommodate the placement of thehorizontal cross member 20, as described below. - Referring particularly to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , eachvertical attachment member 18 contains anupper slot 93 in the upper part of itscenter portion 53, and alower slot 94 in the lower part of itscenter portion 53. Theslots screws 51 or other attachment devices, which attach to the flat-panel display 50 by threaded mounting holes 52. - Each
vertical attachment member 18 contains anopening 99 for accommodation of thehorizontal cross member 20 therein in sliding engagement. Theopening 99 is preferably approximately the same size and shape as thecross member 20 in cross-section, to allow for snug sliding engagement between thecross member 20 and thevertical attachment members 18. Thevertical attachment members 18 can be moved independently of each other along thehorizontal cross member 20. Similarly to the engagement of the mountingbrackets 12 to thecross member 20, when the weight of thedisplay 50 is allowed to rest entirely on themount apparatus 10, the weight causes thecross member 20 to press against theopening 99, frictionally securing the engagement between thecross member 20 andvertical attachment members 18 by making it difficult or impossible to slide thecross member 20 through theopening 99. When theapparatus 10 is partially or wholly relieved of the weight of thedisplay 50, such as when the user lifts thedisplay 50, the user is more easily able to slide thecross member 20 through theopening 99 for horizontal adjustment of thedisplay 50. - The
vertical attachment members 18 can be attached to a wide variety of flat-panel displays 50, each display having its own particular placement of the mounting holes 52. This is due to theslots accommodating screws 51 in numerous positions along the length of the slots, which allows theapparatus 10 to adapt to a wide variety of vertical placement of mountingholes 52. In addition, one or both of thevertical attachment members 18 can be moved horizontally along thecross member 20, as needed, for theslots holes 52, thus accommodating differences in horizontal placement of the mounting holes 52. - In addition to accommodating different positions of the mounting
holes 52, it will also be apparent from this disclosure that the flat-panel display 50 can be moved translationally up or down by positioning thescrews 51 at different points along theslots display 50 can also be moved horizontally by positioning thevertical attachment members 18 at different points along thecross member 20, as well as positioning the mountingbrackets 12 at different points along thecross member 20, as shown inFIG. 7 . - Referring particularly to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , thevertical attachment members 18 further contain a plurality of pairedholes 60 inflanges 54. Flat-panel displays currently have screens with sizes up to approximately 84 inches. Should the mounting holes 52 be spaced at a distance that is longer than avertical attachment member 18 can accommodate, avertical extension member 57, of similar construction to the vertical attachment members 18 (albeit somewhat narrower such that it can fit within the vertical attachment member 18) can be employed. Thevertical extension member 57 also allows for additional vertical adjustment of thedisplay 50. - In one embodiment, the
vertical extension member 57 can be inserted into thetop portion 56 of thevertical attachment member 18, allowing gravity to pull it through until theextension member 57 abuts abolt 58 disposed through a selectedhole pair 60. Eachvertical extension member 57 contains aslot 59, similar to theslots vertical attachment members 18, for placement of thescrews 51 into the mountingholes 52 of the flat-panel display 50. -
FIG. 5 shows thevertical extension member 57 before it is inserted into thevertical attachment member 18.FIG. 6 shows thevertical extension member 57 after it is inserted into thevertical attachment member 18.FIG. 6 also shows thedisplay 50 vertically repositioned from its position inFIG. 5 , moved up such that thetop screw 51 is inserted into the mountinghole 52 through theslot 59 in thevertical extension member 57. - In one embodiment of the invention, adapted to mount currently manufactured flat-panel displays, the
apparatus 10 requires no more than 119 square inches of wall space, allowing for more flexibility in placement than many existing systems. - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , theapparatus 10 allows for convenient vertical and/or horizontal adjustment of the flat-panel display 50 for optimal viewing, while minimizing cost, size, and complexity. It should be noted that some adjustments, as mentioned above, can be carried out without disassembling theapparatus 10 or removing thedisplay 50, such as by sliding components through each other. Other adjustments, however, require some degree of disassembly. In moving thedisplay 50 from the position shown inFIG. 1 to the position shown inFIG. 7 , for example, it is not possible to carry out the adjustment solely by sliding thecross member 20 through the mountingbrackets 12 andvertical attachment members 18, because it is not possible in the described embodiment—while it may, however, be possible in other embodiments—to slide one of thevertical attachment members 18 past one of the mountingbrackets 12. In this case, then, it is required to remove thecross member 20 from engagement with the mountingbrackets 12, horizontally move thecross member 20 to the desired location, and re-engage thecross member 20 with the mountingbrackets 12. -
FIG. 8 shows schematically the vertical translational movement enabled by the invention of the flat-panel display 50 with respect to thewall 90, represented by the bi-directional arrow V. In theapparatus 10 described above, this is carried out by attaching the flat-panel display 50 higher or lower on thevertical attachment members 18 and/or thevertical extension members 57. It can also be done by mounting thecross member 20 on higher or lower hooks on the mountingbrackets 12, as described above. -
FIG. 9 shows schematically the horizontal translational movement enabled by the invention of the flat-panel display 50 with respect to thewall 90, represented by the bi-directional arrow H. In theapparatus 10 described above, this is carried out by sliding thevertical attachment members 18 along thehorizontal cross member 20, or by repositioning thecross member 20 horizontally on the mountingbrackets 12. This can be done by sliding thecross member 20 along the mountingbrackets 12, while thecross members 20 and mountingbrackets 12 are still attached to each other, or by detaching them, making the horizontal adjustment, and reattaching them, as described above. -
FIG. 10 shows themount apparatus 10 mounted against awall 90. As can be seen, themount apparatus 10 allows thedisplay 50 to be mounted very close to thewall 90 while maximizing positional adjustment capabilities of thedisplay 50 for the convenience of the viewer. - Variations on aspects of the described embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure while remaining within the scope of the invention. For example, as regards the components containing center sections and flanges, resulting in a substantially U-shaped cross section, other cross-sectional forms may be used such as square, rectangular, circular, or oval without departing from the invention's essentials. Other variations might include adding
additional cross members 20 and other modifications. Components of theapparatus 10 can be combined with others or separated into sub-components without departing from the scope of the invention. - Additionally, while flat-panel displays are used in one embodiment of the invention, the invention can also be used to mount other devices, such as pictures, paintings, tapestries, billboards, etc. Such objects may not have threaded holes for mounting; accordingly, fasteners other than screws can be used to attach the object to the mounting apparatus, as is known in the art.
- The invention may also be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
