Automated tilt head for electronic display mount
First Claim
1. An automated tilt head assembly for a mounting system for an electronic display device, the tilt head assembly comprising:
- a support adapted to be coupled to the mounting system;
a mobile display carrier having at least one follower;
a first guide member defining a first guide structure positioned along an arc centered on a tilt axis, wherein the at least one follower and the first guide structure are engaged and together define a range of tilt motion about the tilt axis; and
a first automated control mechanism including a first motor and a first gear assembly, wherein the first automated control mechanism is operably coupled to the first guide member to automatically and selectively shift an orientation of the first guide structure to thereby effect automatic and selective shifting of the tilt axis between a first and second positions.

Abstract
An automated tilt head assembly for tilting of an electronic display screen from a vertical plane and for rotation of the tilt head assembly about a vertical axis of rotation. The automated tilt head assembly generally includes a mobile carrier surface to which an electronic display device is mounted, a guide system for defining a range of tilt motion about a tilt axis, and a power-driven unit having a motor and gear assembly for automatically and selectively controlling the tilt motion. The motor drives a worm member, which by means of a gear, mates with a toothed sector of the mobile carrier surface, to thereby control the tilt motion of the mobile carrier surface. The tilt head assembly further includes a second power-driven unit having a motor and gear assembly to control rotation of the head assembly about a vertical axis.
