Abstract
A display system includes a display device having a wedge base to enable the display device to rest on a horizontal surface or to be mounted to a vertical surface in a number of different mounting configurations. A mounting kit provides parts usable to mount the display device to a wall or door jam in alternative ways. The mounting kit includes several modular parts, where many of the parts are usable in multiple mounting configurations, thereby reducing the number of parts needed for the kit. The mounting configurations include paths for cables to hide them when the display is installed.
Claims19
A display system comprising:
- a display device comprising:
- a display panel for displaying images;
- a wedge base extending from a back of the display panel, the wedge base having a depth that increases with distance from an edge of the display panel;
- an electrical interface in a cavity of the wedge base for coupling to a data cable;
- and
- a removable back cover to mate with outer edges of the back of the wedge base, the removable back cover comprising one or more fastener pass-throughs to enable a fastener to pass through the removable back cover and secure to the back of the wedge base, and the removable back cover comprising one or more cable pass-throughs to enable the data cable to pass through the removable back cover to couple to the electrical interface;
- and
- a mounting kit comprising:
- a device-side bracket structured to couple to a back of the wedge base, the device-side bracket including a first mating structure;
- a wall-side bracket structured to couple to a mounting surface, the wall-side bracket including a second mating structure structured to mate with the first mating structure to secure the device-side bracket to the wall-side bracket.

A display system comprising:
- a display device comprising:
- a display panel for displaying images;
- a wedge base extending from a back of the display panel, the wedge base having a depth that increases with distance from an edge of the display panel;
- and
- an electrical interface in a cavity of the wedge base for coupling to a data cable;
- and
- a mounting kit comprising:
- a device-side mounting bracket structured to couple to a back of the wedge base,
- wherein the device-side mounting bracket comprises:
- a device-side flat plate for contacting a back surface of the display device, the device-side flat plate including one or more fastener holes to enable one or more device-side fasteners to secure the device-side flat plate to the back surface of the display device;
- and
- a first mating structure comprising horizontal hooked edges extending away from the back surface of the display device for mating with a second mating structure;
- a wall-side bracket structured to couple to a mounting surface, the wall-side bracket including the second mating structure structured to mate with the first mating structure to secure the device-side bracket to the wall-side bracket.

A mounting kit for mounting a device to a mounting surface, the mounting kit comprising:
- a device-side bracket structured to couple to a back of the device, the device-side bracket comprising:
- a device-side flat plate for contacting a back surface of the device, the device-side flat plate including one or more fastener holes to enable one or more device-side fasteners to secure the device-side flat plate to the back surface of the display device;
- and
- horizontal hooked edges extending away from the back surface of the device;
- and
- an extended wall-side bracket including:
- a wall-side flat plate having a greater horizontal length than the device-side flat plate of the device-side bracket;
- mounting fastener holes through a first portion of the extended wall-side bracket;
- horizontal grooves adjacent to top and bottom edges of the wall-side flat plate for mating with the hooked edges of the device-side bracket on a second portion of the extended wall-side bracket laterally offset from the mounting fastener holes, such that the device is mountable laterally offset from the mounting holes;
- a protrusion in between the grooves of the wall-side flat plate on the first portion of the extended wall-side bracket, the protrusion for mating with a reciprocal notch of a side mount,
- wherein the extended wall-side bracket is mountable in a first mounting configuration such that the wall-side flat plate contacts the mounting surface and the mounting fasteners pass through the mounting holes to secure the wall-side flat plate to the mounting surface, and wherein the extended wall-side bracket is mountable in a second mounting configuration such that the wall-side flat plate is perpendicular to the mounting surface and the mounting fasteners pass through the mounting holes to secure the wall-side flat plate to a side arm of the side mount extending perpendicular to the mounting surface.
