Adjustable display mount apparatus and system
First Claim
1. A display mounting apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a first arm, the first arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end operatively attaching to a mounting surface, and the distal end operatively attaching to the display;
a second arm, the second arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end operatively attaching to the mounting surface, and the distal end operatively attaching to the display;
wherein the first arm and the second arm are disposed in approximately the same vertical plane, and wherein the first arm and the second arm cross each other at a crossing point, the crossing point disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the first arm and between the proximal end and the distal end of the second arm.

Abstract
An embodiment of an adjustable display mount apparatus and system comprises a mounting bracket for attachment to a mounting surface, a display attachment apparatus for attachment to the display, a first arm attached at one end to the mounting bracket and at the other end to the display attachment apparatus, and a second arm attached at one end to the mounting bracket in sliding engagement and at the other end to the display attachment apparatus. The arms cross each other at a pivotal cross point, enabling the arms to move relative to each other and the mounting surface, thus moving the display toward or away from the mounting surface. The first arm may articulate to enable tilting of the display.

20. A flat panel display mounting system, the system comprising:
-
a flat panel display;
a tilt bracket having upper and lower portions, the tilt bracket operatively attaching to the flat panel display;
a mounting bracket adapted for mounting on a wall or other mounting surface;
a first arm having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end attaching to the mounting bracket in sliding engagement, and the distal end attaching to the upper portion of the tilt bracket;
a second arm having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end attaching to the mounting bracket, the second arm pivotally engaging the first arm at a crossing point such that the first and second arms are configured to be positioned in any of a plurality of angles relative to each other;
whereby the distal ends of the first and second arms are configured to move closer to or farther away from the mounting surface according to the angle between the first and second arms and the point at which the proximal end of the first arm attaches to the mounting bracket;
a third arm having proximal and distal ends, the distal end attaching to the lower portion of the tilt bracket, and the proximal end attaching to the distal end of the second arm, the first, second, and third arms being disposed in approximately the same vertical plane; and
an articulation mechanism configured to articulate the second arm and the third arm in a plurality of angles, whereby the tilt bracket and the display are tilted according to the angle of articulation between the second and third arms. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
