FLAT PANEL MOUNTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A flat panel mounting system comprising:
- a wall cleat having a length sufficient to span at least two spaced adjacent wall studs of a wall surface;
a wall cleat plate portion of said wall cleat and having a plurality of spaced first and second wall cleat plate mounting slots;
a wall cleat flange portion of said wall cleat and being angled at a first angle with respect to said wall cleat plate;
first and second flat panel cleats, each having a flat panel cleat plate;
at least one flat panel attachment fastener receiving hole in each said flat panel cleat plate and usable to secure each said flat panel cleat to a rear surface of a flat panel device;
a flat panel cleat flange on each said flat panel cleat and angled at said first angle with respect to said flat panel cleat plate; and
cooperating components of a hook and loop fastener system on each of said wall cleat flange and said flat panel cleat flanges whereby said wall cleat flange and said flat panel cleat flanges can be releasably secured together during mounting of the flat panel device to a surface of a wall.

Abstract
A flat panel mounting system and package includes a wall cleat with a planar wall cleat plate and an angled wall cleat flange. The wall cleat plate is securable to a wall surface and is adapted to be leveled. Two spaced flat panel cleats are securable to attachment holes in the rear of a flat panel device. The flat panel cleats each have a plurality of holes to accommodate different flat panel attachment hole screw sizes. Each flat panel cleat has a flange that is angled at a complimentary manner to the wall cleat flange. Each one of the wall cleat flange and the flat panel cleat flange are provided with one component of a hook and loop fastening system. A flat panel mounting package for the flat panel mounting system includes all of the hardware components necessary to accomplish mounting of the flat panel device to a wall surface.
