Abstract
A modular mounting system for attaching multiple electronic display devices to a wall in an array. The system provides for vertical attachment of multiple electronic displays to a single module, and for vertical and horizontal attachment of multiple modules. The disclosed modular system enables multiple displays to be mounted in a virtually unlimited number of shapes as well as the standard square and rectangular arrays.

A system for mounting multiple electronic display devices to a wall of a structure, the system comprising:
- a first pair of spaced-apart brackets, each bracket presenting a front flange defining a plurality of slots, each slot adapted to receive a fastener coupled to an electronic display so as to attach the electronic display to the bracket;
- and
- a first plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a first one of the first pair of spaced-apart brackets, and a second plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a second one of the first pair of spaced apart brackets, each of the mounting feet in the first and second pluralities of mounting feet adapted to attach to the wall and defining a slot enabling the mounting foot to shift parallel to a plane of the wall, each one of the first plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the first one of the spaced- apart brackets and each one of the second plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the second one of the spaced-apart brackets so as to enable the respective bracket to be selectively adjusted for position in a direction perpendicular to the wall.
A mount for attaching multiple electronic display devices to a wall of a structure, the mount comprising:
- a first pair of spaced-apart brackets, each bracket presenting a front flange defining a plurality of slots, each slot adapted to receive a fastener coupled to an electronic display so as to attach the electronic display to the bracket;
- a plurality of cross braces extending between the spaced-apart brackets;
- and
- a first plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a first one of the first pair of spaced-apart brackets, and a second plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a second one of the first pair of spaced apart brackets, each of the mounting feet in the first and second pluralities of mounting feet adapted to attach to the wall and defining a slot enabling the mounting foot to shift parallel to a plane of the wall, each one of the first plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the first one of the spaced- apart brackets and each one of the second plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the second one of the spaced-apart brackets so as to enable the respective bracket to be selectively adjusted for position in a direction perpendicular to the wall.
A method of adjacently mounting a plurality of electronic display devices on a vertical structure, the method comprising:
- providing a mount comprising a first pair of spaced-apart brackets, each bracket presenting a front flange defining a plurality of slots, each slot adapted to receive a fastener coupled to an electronic display to attach the electronic display to the bracket, the mount further comprising a first plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a first one of the first pair of spaced-apart brackets, and a second plurality of mounting feet operably coupled to a second one of the first pair of spaced apart brackets, each of the mounting feet in the first and second pluralities of mounting feet adapted to attach to the vertical structure and defining a slot enabling the mounting foot to shift parallel to a plane of the vertical structure, each one of the first plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the first one of the spaced-apart brackets and each one of the second plurality of mounting feet being separately selectively shiftable relative to the second one of the spaced-apart brackets so as to enable the respective bracket to be selectively adjusted for position in a direction perpendicular to the vertical structure;
- attaching the mounting feet and spaced-apart brackets to the vertical structure;
- shifting the mounting feet relative to the vertical structure and relative to the spaced-apart brackets to position the spaced-apart brackets on the vertical structure;
- attaching a plurality of the fasteners to each of the electronic displays;
- and attaching the electronic displays to the spaced-apart brackets by advancing each of the fasteners into a separate one of the plurality of slots defined in the front flange of the brackets.
