## Abstract

A mounting device (1) for adjustable mounting of an object on a wall comprises a housing (3), comprising a body (5) and a lid (7). The body (5) is adapted for being mounted on the wall. The device (1) further comprises a substantially vertically extending adjustment element (9) extending through the housing (3), and a receiving element (11) connected to an end of the adjustment element (9). The receiving element (11) is adapted for receiving the object to be mounted on the wall. The device (1) further comprises a locking element (13) arranged within said housing (3) for locking movement of the adjustment element (9), the locking element (13) being arranged to be selectively movable between a movement restriction state and a movement allowing state. Further, a release mechanism (15) is arranged in the housing (3) for selectively moving the locking element (13) from the movement restriction state to the movement allowing state, wherein the movement of the release mechanism (15) is controlled by moving the receiving element (11) away from the wall.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mounting device, for adjustable mounting of objects on a wall, the device comprising;
a housing comprising a body and a lid, wherein the body is adapted for being mounted on the wall,
a substantially vertically extending adjustment element extending through the housing,
a receiving element connected to a first end of the adjustment element, which receiving element is adapted for receiving the object being mounted on the wall,
a locking element arranged within said housing, wherein the locking element is an extending bar in which a hole is arranged, wherein the adjustment element passes through said hole and wherein the extending bar is supported in the housing on one side of said bar, the locking element being arranged to be selectively movable between a movement restriction state restricting vertical adjustment movement of the substantially vertically extending adjustment element and a movement allowing state allowing vertical adjustment movement of the substantially vertically extending adjustment element, and
a release mechanism arranged in the housing for selectively moving the locking element from the movement restriction state to the movement allowing state, wherein a relative movement of the locking element in relation to the release mechanism is controlled by moving the receiving element.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the adjustment of the object is a stepless adjustment.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the movement restriction state of the locking element restricts movement of the receiving element in a direction along the extension of the adjustment element, towards the housing, but allows moment of the receiving element away from the housing, and the movement allowing state of the locking element allows free movement of the receiving element both towards and away from the housing, along the extension of the adjustment element.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, further comprising the object being mounted, and wherein moving the object being mounted, while connected to the receiving element, away from the wall, moves the locking element to the movement allowing state.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving element is a substantially horizontal extending bar, allowing connection between the receiving element and the object throughout the extension of said bar.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the device further comprises a connecting element arranged for detachable fixed connection to the object and comprising connecting means arranged for a detachable fixed connection to the receiving element.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the release mechanism comprises an angled surface which, when it engages the locking element, moves the locking element from the movement restriction state to the movement allowing state.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the locking element is biased by a section of the body acting upon the substantially vertically extending adjustment element so as to not engage the release mechanism until the substantially vertically extending adjustment element is subjected to a force of a pre-determined value.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a spirit level.
