1. A mounting assembly, comprising:
- at least one surface mounting structure, each of the at least one surface mounting structure including;
a surface mounting interface configured to attach to a mounting surface, anda first fastener portion operatively connected to the surface mounting interface; and
at least one device mounting structure removably engageable with the at least one surface mounting structure, each of the at least one device mounting structure including;
a device mounting interface configured to attach to an audio/visual device, anda second fastener portion operatively connected to the device mounting interface, the second fastener portion positioned so as to engage the first fastener portion when the at least one mounting device structure is engaged with the at least one surface mounting structure, thereby inhibiting the at least one device mounting structure from moving in at least one direction relative to the at least one surface mounting structure.wherein the first fastener portion includes one of first and second mating touch fasteners, and wherein the second fastener portion includes the other of the first and second mating touch fasteners.

Abstract
A mounting system for use in mounting products such as audio/visual devices to a surface such as a wall. According to various embodiments, one or more surface mounting structures are configured to attach to a surface such as a wall, while one or more device mounting structures are configured to attach to a device such as a flat panel display. Mating “touch” or “burr” fasteners on at least one surface mounting structure and at least one device mounting structure serve to inhibit the movement or rotation of these components relative to each other when the mounting system is in an assembled position.
