Abstract

A mount system utilizes one motor to extend/retract and tilt a monitor. The mount system may include a second motor to swivel the monitor.

Claims

1. A method of adjusting a viewing angle of a monitor, the method comprising:

extending a monitor mounting bracket from a retracted position to an extended position and tilting the monitor mounting bracket from a retracted position to a tilted position using a first motor; and

retracting the monitor mounting bracket from the extended position to a retracted position and tilting the monitor mounting bracket from the tilted position to a retracted position using the first motor.

2. The method according to claim 1, including:

swiveling the monitor mounting bracket using a second motor.

3. The method according to claim 1, including:

waiting a predetermined time to tilt the monitor mounting bracket from the retracted position to tilted position as the first motor extends the monitor mounting bracket from the retracted position to the extended position using the first motor.

4. The method according to claim 1, including:

waiting a predetermined time to tilt the monitor mounting bracket from the tilted position to the retracted position as the first motor retracts the monitor mounting bracket from the extended position to the retracted position using the first motor.
