Pull-Out Swivel Mount
First Claim
1. A mounting system, comprising:
- a base plate configured to operatively connect to a surface, the base plate including a plurality of lower slots and a plurality of upper slots therein;
an adapter plate configured to operatively connect to a display device;
a plurality of connecting arms, each of the plurality of connecting arms including;
a base plate engagement portion extending between one of the plurality of lower slots and one of the plurality of upper slots, the base plate engagement portion engageable with one of the plurality of lower slots and with one of the plurality of upper slots and slidable between a first position and a second position; and
an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter ii plate such that the adapter plate is rotatable relative to the adapter plate engagement portion,wherein movement of the base plate engagement portions within the plurality of slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate.

Abstract
A system for mounting a flat panel television or display to a surface such as a wall. A base plate is configured to operatively connect to a surface, while an adapter plate is configured to operatively connect to a display device. A plurality of connecting arms are used to operatively connect the base plate to the adapter plate. Each of the plurality of connecting arms includes a base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with slots in the base plate and an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter plate. Movement of the base plate engagement portions within the base plate'"'"'s slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate.

6. A wall mounting system, comprising:
-
a first plate including a mount surface configured to operatively connect to a surface and a plurality of peripheral surfaces extending substantially perpendicular from the mount surface, the mount surface and the plurality of peripheral surfaces cooperating to define an aperture; a second plate configured to operatively connect to a device, the second plate selectively translatable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein a portion of the second plate is nested within the aperture and proximate the mount surface when the second plate is in the retracted position; and a plurality of connecting members operatively connecting the first plate to the second plate, each of the plurality of connecting members being connected with the first plate via at least one sliding connection, wherein movement of the plurality of connecting members in the at least one sliding connection results in an altering of the translational distance between the first plate and the second plate. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A wall mounting unit, comprising:
-
a base plate including a first slot and a second slot; an adapter plate selectively rotatable in relation to the base plate; a first connecting arm including; a first base plate engagement portion, the first base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with the base plate and slidable between a first position and a second position associated with the first slot; and a first adapter plate engagement portion rotatably coupled to the adapter plate and operatively connected to the first base plate engagement portion; and a second connecting arm including; a second base plate engagement portion, the second base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with base plate and slidable between a first position and a second position associated with the second slot; and a second adapter plate engagement portion rotatably coupled to the adapter plate and the first adapter plate engagement portion and operatively connected to the second base plate engagement portion, wherein movement of the first base plate engagement portion within the first slot and movement of the second base plate engagement portion within the second slot results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate between a retracted position and an extended position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
