Patent Images
1. A mount system adapted to swing a monitor, the mount system including:
- a support bracket adapted to couple to a supporting surface;
a monitor bracket having a proximal end and a distal end;
a first arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the first arm pivotably coupled to the support bracket about a first pivot axis, and the distal end of the first arm pivotably coupled adjacent to the proximal end of the monitor bracket about a second pivot axis;
a second arm having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the second arm pivotably coupled to the support bracket about a third pivot axis, and the distal end of the second arm pivotably coupled adjacent to the proximal end of the monitor bracket about a fourth pivot axis, locations of the first, second, third, and fourth pivot axes defined in reference to a XZ coordinates, the monitor bracket adapted to move between a retracted position and an extended position, a distance between the first and second pivot axes being longer than a distance between the third and fourth pivot axes, the third pivot axis farther along the X-axis than the first pivot axis, and in the retracted position, the second pivot axis being farther along the X-axis than the first pivot axis, the fourth pivot axis being farther along the X-axis than the third pivot axis, and the fourth pivot axis being farther along the X-axis than the second pivot axis.

Abstract
A mount system supports a monitor against a supporting surface such as a wall. The mount system allows the monitor to swing open adjacent to one of its edge and extends the monitor away from the wall so that the edge of the monitor does not hit the wall. A motor or a linear actuator may be used to move the monitor through a motorized action.
