Abstract

A responsive support system described herein includes a screen device wall support mount and a media machine responsive support mount. A media machine responsive support mount described herein may include a support that may support a media machine, a rotating subsystem for rotating the support, and a lifting subsystem for lifting the support.

Claims

1. A responsive support system for supporting an electronic display device and storing a media machine, the responsive support system, comprising:

(a) a screen device wall support mount having a screen device bracket for mounting a flat display screen thereto, a wall bracket plate for mounting the responsive support system to a wall, and an arm extending between screen device bracket and the wall bracket plate;

and

(b) a media machine responsive support mount receptacle for storing a media machine, said media machine responsive support mount receptacle having a support surface that is adapted to support the media machine, two sidewalls and a rear wall that are each perpendicular to the support surface, wherein a storage space is defined between the two sidewalls and the rear wall;

wherein at least one support member connects the media machine responsive support mount receptacle to the screen device bracket, and a lower arm support connects the media machine responsive support mount receptacle to the wall;

wherein the media machine responsive support mount receptacle is rotatable between a at least one storage position wherein the support surface is in a vertical orientation and at least one accessible position wherein the support surface is in a horizontal orientation.

2. The responsive support system of claim 1, at least one storage orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally vertical and at least one accessible orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally horizontal.

3. The responsive support system of claim 1, said media machine responsive support mount being below said screen device wall support mount.

4. The responsive support system of claim 1, said screen device wall support mount having at least one storage orientation and at least one accessible orientation.

5. The responsive support system of claim 1, said screen device wall support mount having at least one vertical storage orientation and at least one angled accessible orientation.

6. The responsive support system of claim 5, wherein said media machine responsive support mount transitions between the at least one storage position and orientation and the at least one accessible position and orientation upon actuation of said screen device wall support mount.

7. The responsive support system of claim 5, said media machine

responsive support mount having a rotating subsystem and a lifting subsystem, said rotating subsystem and said lifting subsystem facilitating the transition of said media machine responsive support mount between the at least one storage position and orientation and the at least one accessible position and orientation.

8. A media machine responsive support mount receptacle for storing a media machine, wherein the media machine responsive support mount receptacle is adapted to be attached to a screen device wall bracket for supporting a flat screen display, and a support wall, the media machine responsive support mount receptacle comprising:

a support receptacle for supporting the media machine, the support receptacle

having a support surface that is adapted to support the media machine, two sidewalls and a rear wall that are each perpendicular to the support surface, and a second surface that is parallel to the support surface, and a track defined in guide rail that is fixed to the second surface, wherein a storage space is defined between the two sidewalls, the rear wall, the support surface, and the second surface;

wherein at least one support member is attached to the two side walls of the support receptacle and extends upwardly from the support member;

the at least one support member is configured to connect the support receptacle to the screen device bracket;

wherein a upper arm support extends between and connects the guide rail to the at least one support member and a lower arm support extends between and connects the guide rail of the support receptacle to the support wall via a bracket support plate;

wherein respective ends of the upper arm support and the lower arm support each comprise a track connector which is inserted within the track of the guide rail to enable the upper arm support and the lower arm support to simultaneously slide along the track of the guide rail in order to rotate the support receptacle between at least one storage position wherein the support surface is in a vertical orientation and at least one accessible position wherein the support surface is in a horizontal orientation when the at least one support member of the support receptacle is attached to the screen device wall bracket and the bracket support plate is attached to the wall.

9. The media machine responsive support mount of claim 8, at least one storage orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally vertical and at least one accessible orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally horizontal.

10. The media machine responsive support mount of claim 9, wherein

said media machine responsive support mount transitions between the at least one storage position and orientation and the at least one accessible position and orientation upon actuation.

11. The media machine responsive support mount of claim 8, wherein, when in use, said screen device wall support mount has at least one storage position and at least one accessible position.

12. The media machine responsive support mount of claim 9,

wherein, when in use, said screen device wall support mount has at least one storage position and at least one accessible position and said media machine responsive support mount transitions between the at least one storage position and orientation and the at least one accessible position and orientation upon

actuation of the transition of said screen device wall support mount between said at least one storage position and said at least one accessible position.

13. A responsive support system for supporting an electronic display device and storing a media machine, the responsive support system comprising:

(a) a screen device wall support mount having a screen device bracket for mounting a display screen thereto, a wall bracket plate for mounting the responsive support system to a wall, two linkage arms extending between the screen device bracket and the wall bracket plate;

wherein the linkage arms are each extendable and retractable between at least one storage

position wherein the screen device bracket is a first distance from the wall and at least one accessible position wherein the screen device bracket is a second distance from the wall, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance; and

(b) a media machine responsive support mount receptacle for storing a media machine, said media machine responsive support mount receptacle having a support surface that is adapted to support the media machine, and two sidewalls and a rear wall that are each perpendicular to the support surface,

wherein at least one support member connects the media machine responsive support mount receptacle to the screen device bracket;

wherein the media machine responsive support mount receptacle is rotatable between at least one storage position wherein the support surface is in a vertical orientation and at least one accessible position wherein the support surface is in a horizontal orientation.

14. The responsive support system of claim 13, at least one storage orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally vertical and at least one accessible orientation of said media machine responsive support mount being generally horizontal.

15. The responsive support system of claim 13, said media machine responsive support mount being below said screen device wall support mount.

16. The responsive support system of claim 13, said screen device wall support mount having at least one vertical storage orientation and at least one angled accessible orientation.

17. The responsive support system of claim 14, wherein said media machine responsive support mount transitions between the at least one storage position and orientation and the at least one accessible position and orientation upon actuation of said screen device wall support mount.
