Abstract

A mechanism for precisely mounting a light object (e.g., LCD TV) on a wall is disclosed. The mechanism is shaped as a parallelepiped box having an open top and comprises a removable support including four pairs of first threaded holes on a front side so that the light object and the removable support can be threadedly fastened together, and a second threaded hole at either side; and a mated fixed support received in the removable support, the fixed support including a plurality of openings on a rear side and two side slots. First fasteners are driven through the openings into the wall for securing the fixed support to the wall. Further, second expansion screws are driven through the slots and the second threaded holes for fastening the removable and the fixed supports together.

Claims

1. A mechanism for mounting a light object on a wall, the mechanism being shaped as a parallelepiped box having an open top, comprising:

a removable support including four pairs of first threaded holes on a front side adjacent four corners so that the light object and the removable support are adapted to be threadedly fastened together, and a second threaded hole at either side; and

a mated fixed support received in the removable support, the fixed support including a plurality of openings on a rear side and a transversely elongated slot at either side,

wherein a plurality of first fasteners are driven through the openings into the wall for securing the fixed support to the wall, and a plurality of second fasteners are driven through the slots and the second threaded holes for fastening the removable and the fixed supports together.

2. The mechanism of claim 1, wherein the light object is an LCD TV.

3. The mechanism of claim 1, wherein the first fasteners are screws.

4. The mechanism of claim 1, wherein the second fasteners are expansion screws.

5. The mechanism of claim 1, wherein the openings are of teardrop shape.
