## Abstract

A bracket for removably coupling a display device with a work machine includes a first member defining a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion along a longitudinal axis. The bracket also includes a second member coupled to the first member at the second portion thereof. The second member is substantially orthogonal to the first member. The second member defines a third portion and a fourth portion that are spaced apart from each other along a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The bracket further includes at least one coupling element extending from and coupled to the second member at the third portion thereof. The bracket includes at least one projection coupled to the second member at the fourth portion thereof.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for removably coupling a display device with a work machine, the system comprising:
a bracket including:
a first member defining a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion along a longitudinal axis;
a second member coupled to the first member at the second portion thereof, wherein the second member is substantially orthogonal to the first member, the second member defining a third portion and a fourth portion that are spaced apart from each other along a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
at least one coupling element extending from and coupled to the second member at the third portion thereof; and
at least one projection coupled to the second member at the fourth portion thereof;
a mounting plate removably coupled with the bracket, the mounting plate defining a plurality of openings therein, wherein the at least one coupling element passes through at least one of the plurality of openings in the mounting plate to removably couple the bracket with the mounting plate; and
a backer plate removably coupled with each of the bracket, the mounting plate, and the work machine, wherein the at least one projection is adapted to pass through at least one of the plurality of openings in the mounting plate to contact the backer plate to removably couple the bracket with the backer plate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein, based on the removable coupling of the bracket with the mounting plate and the backer plate, the bracket is disposable at a plurality of positions along the vertical axis and a lateral axis to adjust a placement of the display device, and wherein the lateral axis is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and the vertical axis.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of openings is hexagon shaped.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein a shape of the mounting plate matches a shape of the backer plate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the bracket further includes a mounting member coupled to the first member proximal to the first portion thereof, wherein the mounting member extends along the vertical axis, and wherein the mounting member removably couples the bracket with the display device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the display device includes a clamping element, and wherein the mounting member is adapted to be removably coupled with the clamping element of the display device such that display device is rotatable about the vertical axis.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the at least one projection includes a magnet.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one coupling element includes a pair of coupling elements.

### Claim 9

A display system for a work machine, the display system comprising:
a display device including a clamping element; and
a system for removably coupling the display device with the work machine, the system including:
a bracket including:
a first member defining a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion along a longitudinal axis;
a second member coupled to the first member at the second portion thereof, wherein the second member is substantially orthogonal to the first member, the second member defining a third portion and a fourth portion that are spaced apart from each other along a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
at least one coupling element extending from and coupled to the second member at the third portion thereof; and
at least one projection coupled to the second member at the fourth portion thereof;
a mounting plate removably coupled with the bracket, the mounting plate defining a plurality of openings therein, wherein the at least one coupling element passes through at least one of the plurality of openings in the mounting plate to removably couple the bracket with the mounting plate; and
a backer plate removably coupled with each of the bracket, the mounting plate, and the work machine, wherein the at least one projection is adapted to pass through at least one of the plurality of openings in the mounting plate to contact the backer plate to removably couple the bracket with the backer plate.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The display system of claim 9, wherein, based on the removable coupling of the bracket with the mounting plate and the backer plate, the bracket is disposable at a plurality of positions along the vertical axis and a lateral axis to adjust a placement of the display device, and wherein the lateral axis is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and the vertical axis.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The display system of claim 9, wherein the bracket further includes a mounting member coupled to the first member proximal to the first portion thereof, and wherein the mounting member extends along the vertical axis.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The display system of claim 11, wherein the mounting member removably couples with the clamping element of the display device such that display device is rotatable about the vertical axis.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The display system of claim 9, wherein the at least one coupling element includes a pair of coupling elements.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The display system of claim 9, wherein the at least one projection includes a magnet.
