Abstract

A video monitor mount includes a first piece adapted to be fastened to a wall and a second piece adapted to be fastened to a video monitor. The first piece includes a bubble level and a first mating component and the second piece includes a second mating component. The first piece or the second piece comprises an extension arm having a rotation joint that comprises a brass bushing.

Claims

1. A video monitor mount comprising:

a wall piece having an integral bubble level, the wall piece including a first cradle and a second cradle separated from the first cradle;

a support bar configured to be supported by the first cradle and second cradle, and wherein the support bar is configured to extend between the first cradle and second cradle, and wherein the support bar is configured to rotate within the first cradle and second cradle; and

a cord management hook comprising a first loop and a second loop, the second loop separated from the first loop, the first loop configured to mate with the support bar and to slide along the support bar, and wherein the second loop is configured to receive at least one cord.

2. The mount of claim 1, wherein the wall piece comprises a wall portion, and wherein the first cradle and second cradle extend from the wall portion at an angle not parallel with the wall portion, and wherein the first cradle comprises a first latch, and wherein the second cradle comprises a second latch, and wherein the first latch is configured to alternate between an open configuration such that the support bar can be placed in the first cradle and a closed configuration such that the support bar cannot be removed from the first cradle, and wherein the second latch is configured to alternate between an open configuration such that the support bar can be placed in the second cradle and a closed configuration such that the support bar cannot be removed from the second cradle.

3. The mount of claim 2 wherein at least one of the first cradle and second cradle further comprises a screw hole and wherein at least one of the first latch and second latch comprises a screw hole matched with the screw hole of the first cradle or second cradle, and wherein the latch is locked in position when a screw is inserted between the latch and cradle.

4. The mount of claim 1 further comprising a first monitor bracket including a first aperture and a second monitor bracket including a second aperture, and wherein the support bar is configured to slide within the first aperture and second aperture and wherein the first monitor bracket slides with respect to the support bar independent of the second monitor bracket and wherein the second monitor bracket slides with respect to the support bar independent of the first monitor bracket.

5. The mount of claim 1 wherein the wall piece further includes a tilt bar extending between the first cradle and second cradle.

6. The mount of claim 5 wherein the wall piece comprises a wall portion and wherein the tilt bar is spring loaded with a knob including a position selection device configured to lock the tilt bar in a position at an angle with respect to the wall portion.

7. The mount of claim 5 further comprising a knob to turn the tilt bar to tilt the first monitor bracket and second monitor bracket at an angle with respect to the wall piece.

8. The mount of claim 1 further comprising a first monitor bracket including a first aperture and a second monitor bracket including a second aperture, and wherein the support bar is configured to slide within the first aperture and second aperture and wherein the first monitor bracket slides with respect to the support bar independent of the second monitor bracket and wherein the second monitor bracket slides with respect to the support bar independent of the first monitor bracket, and wherein the first monitor bracket includes a plurality of screw holes and a first channel, and wherein the second monitor bracket includes a plurality of screw holes and a second channel, and wherein the number of screw holes on the first monitor bracket is the same as the number of screw holes on the second monitor bracket.
