Abstract

A display mounting assembly includes: a wall bracket; a display-mounting bracket; and a position-adjusting mechanism disposed between and interconnecting the wall bracket and the display-mounting bracket, and including first and second connecting units and a supporting unit that is connected to the wall bracket. The first and second connecting units are provided on the display-mounting bracket and the supporting unit, respectively. Each of the first and second connecting units includes upper and lower connectors. The upper and lower connectors of the second connecting unit cooperatively define a circumferentially extending track. The upper and lower connectors of the first connecting unit are mounted slidably on the upper and lower connectors the second connecting unit so as to be co-slidable along the circumferentially extending track.

Claims

1. A display mounting assembly comprising:

a wall bracket;

a display-mounting bracket spaced apart from said wall bracket and adapted for mounting of a display thereon; and

a position-adjusting mechanism disposed between and interconnecting said wall bracket and said display-mounting bracket, and including first and second connecting units and a supporting unit that is connected to said wall bracket, said first and second connecting units being provided on said display-mounting bracket and said supporting unit, respectively, each of said first and second connecting units including upper and lower connectors, said upper and lower connectors of one of said first and second connecting units cooperatively defining a circumferentially extending track, said upper and lower connectors of the other of said first and second connecting units being mounted slidably on said upper and lower connectors of said one of said first and second connecting units so as to be co-slidable relative to said one of said first and second connecting units along said circumferentially extending track and so as to permit inclination adjustment of said display-mounting bracket relative to said wall bracket.

2. The display mounting assembly of claim 1, wherein:

said upper and lower connectors of said one of said first and second connecting units have upper and lower slot-defining walls defining upper and lower arcuate slots, respectively, said upper and lower slot-defining walls cooperatively defining said circumferentially extending track;

each of said upper and lower connectors of the other of said first and second connecting units has left and right halves that are disposed at two opposite sides of a respective one of said upper and lower slot-defining walls; and

said position-adjusting mechanism further includes upper and lower bolts, each of which extends through said left and right halves of a respective one of said upper and lower connectors of the other of said first and second connecting units and through a respective one of said upper and lower arcuate slots of said upper and lower connectors of said one of said first and second connecting units, and each of which engages threadedly one of said left and right halves of the respective one of said upper and lower connectors of the other of said first and second connecting units.

3. The display mounting assembly of claim 2, wherein said position-adjusting mechanism further includes upper and lower tightening units, each of which includes a pair of tightening bushes located respectively to the two opposite sides of a respective one of said upper and lower slot-defining walls, each of the tightening bushes having a diameter-reduced end portion, said tightening bushes of each of said upper and lower tightening units being sleeved on a respective one of said upper and lower bolts and being press fitted within a respective one of said upper and lower arcuate slots at said diameter-reduced end portions, thereby permitting retaining of said display-mounting bracket at a desired inclination angle relative to said wall bracket.

4. The display mounting assembly of claim 2, wherein said second connecting unit defines said circumferentially extending track.

5. The display mounting assembly of claim 4, wherein said display-mounting bracket includes a frame part, said first connecting unit being mounted slidably on said frame part.

6. The display mounting assembly of claim 4, wherein said second connecting unit is mounted rotatably on said supporting unit.

7. The display mounting assembly of claim 6, wherein said supporting unit includes a pair of linkages connected to said wall bracket and extending therefrom toward said display-mounting bracket, each of said linkages including a holding arm having a tubular pivot end, said tubular pivot ends of said holding arms of said linkages being stacked one above the other, said upper and lower connectors of said second connecting unit further having upper and lower cylindrical parts extending from said upper and lower slot-defining walls toward each other and into said tubular pivot ends of said holding arms of said linkages, respectively, so as to permit said second connecting unit to be rotatable relative to said supporting unit.

8. The display mounting assembly of claim 7, wherein said holding arm of each of said linkages further has a connecting end opposite to said tubular pivot end, each of said linkages further including a connecting arm having one end pivoted to said connecting end of said holding arm, and the other end pivoted to said wall bracket so as to permit movement of said display-mounting bracket toward and away from said wall bracket.

9. The display mounting assembly of claim 4, wherein said display-mounting bracket is in the form of amounting plate, said first connecting unit being secured to said mounting plate.
