Systems and methods for monitor attachment

An attachment system for coupling a monitor to a fixture, the attachment system comprising:

• a fixture housing including a monitor housing recess and a hinged groove joint;
• a monitor housing including a tongue;
• and
• a locking mechanism,
• wherein a portion of the monitor housing is configured to fit within the monitor housing recess,
• wherein the tongue is configured to rotate within the hinged groove joint between an installation angle and an installed angle,
• wherein the locking mechanism has a locked state that prevents the tongue from rotating from the installed angle to the installation angle and an unlocked state that allows the tongue to rotate from the installed angle to the installation angle,
• wherein the hinged groove joint has an opening width perpendicular to the installation angle greater than a width of the tongue, and an opening width perpendicular to the installed angle less than the width of the tongue.

A method for coupling a monitor to a fixture, comprising:

• coupling a first monitor to a first monitor housing;
• coupling a fixture housing to a fixture;
• inserting a first tongue of the first monitor housing into a hinged groove joint of the fixture housing at an installation angle;
• rotating the first monitor housing relative to the fixture housing to move the first tongue of the first monitor housing from the installation angle to an installed angle within the hinged groove joint;
• locking a first locking mechanism to a portion of the first monitor housing and a portion of the fixture housing to prevent the first tongue from rotating from the installed angle to the installation angle;
• and
• tapering the first tongue to match a taper of the hinged groove joint, wherein inserting the tongue of the monitor housing at an installed angle within the hinged groove joint aligns the monitor housing relative to the fixture housing via the matched tapering.

A flush-mount system for coupling a monitor to a fixture, the flush-mount system comprising:

• a fixture housing comprising a first side having a fixture hinged joint assembly and a fixture attachment mechanism that couples the fixture housing to a fixture, and a second side having a fixture locking mechanism;
• and
• a monitor housing comprising a first side having a monitor hinged joint assembly and a monitor attachment mechanism that couples a monitor to the monitor housing, and a second side having a monitor locking mechanism
• wherein the fixture hinged joint assembly and the monitor hinged joint assembly are configured to enable engagement and disengagement at an installation angle relative to one another, are configured to prevent disengagement of the monitor housing and the fixture housing at an installed angle relative to one another, and are configured to enable rotation of the monitor housing relative to the fixture housing between the installation angle and the installed angle,
• wherein the monitor housing has a front planar surface that is flush with a front planar surface of the fixture housing when the monitor housing is rotated to the installed angle;
• wherein the fixture housing and the monitor housing are configured to mate in a locked state to prevent the monitor housing from rotating relative to the fixture housing about the hinged joint assembly;
• wherein the fixture locking mechanism comprises a fixture housing threaded hole, and wherein the monitor locking mechanism comprises a monitor housing threaded hole and a threaded screw that threads through the monitor housing threaded hole and the fixture housing threaded hole.
