Abstract

An adjustable flat panel monitor mounting system designed for strength and security is provided. The mounting system allows any VESA compliant flat panel display to be securely mounted to any work-surface. The height can be adjusted from sub-surface to super-surface upon installation and fixed in place with security screws. The user of the display would be able to adjust the angle of the display. The mount of the invention is fixed in place and can not be removed without special tools. The monitor is not able to be knocked off the work surface, and a bar is provided as a channel for wire management. The monitor can be used in the semi-recessed and subsurface configurations.

Claims

1. An adjustable flat plate monitor mounting system comprising:

a. A VESA compliant flat panel display securably mounted to a VESA compatible mounting plate, said flat panel monitor fastened to said mounting plate using security screws;

b. a height set point using security screws to fixedly set a predetermined height;

c. a riser bar which adjusts up or down upon installation, and is changed with tools to change the height for new equipment or for a new configuration, said riser bar comprising a channel for the passage of wires; and

d. a work surface mounting bracket mounted to the underside of a work surface either with the channel mount up or down to a user desired configuration.

2. A mounting plate system for mounting a flat panel computer display to a work surface comprising,

a. said mounting plate system comprising an industry standard or custom mounting plate;

b. said mounting plate pivotally mounted to a riser bar with a security fastening;

c. said riser bar slidably attached to a height set point bracket, wherein the movement of the riser bar with respect to the height set point bracket is fixed by a security means so that height adjustments can be made only with the use of a tool that is capable of adjusting said security means; and

d. said mounting plate system is attached to said work surface by a mounting bracket attached to the underside of a work surface.

3. The mounting plate system of claim 2, wherein the riser bar has a channel to allow wiring and cables to pass therein.

4. The mounting plate system of claim 2, wherein the riser bar may be positioned either above the work surface or below the work surface.

5. The mounting plate system of claim 2, wherein the work surface mounting bracket is fixedly attached to the work surface with the use of security means and wherein the work surface mounting bracket can only be removed with the use of a tool that is capable of removing said security means.
