Abstract
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. Tilt adjustment mechanisms are used to adjust the tilt of the display bracket.
Claims24
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mount assembly including
- a display bracket;
- a fixed support bracket;
- and
- a linkage assembly movably coupled to the display bracket and the fixed support bracket, the linkage assembly configured to move between
- a first configuration for holding the display bracket at a first position, and
- a second configuration for holding the display bracket at a second position;
- a switch assembly including an actuatable member configured to move into contact with a component of the mount assembly when the display bracket is moved toward the first position;
- and
- a motor coupled to the mount assembly, wherein the motor is operable to stop moving the linkage assembly based on the actuatable member contacting the component.

A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mount assembly including
- a display bracket configured to carry an electronic display;
- a fixed support bracket;
- and
- a linkage assembly rotatably coupled to the display bracket and the fixed support bracket, the linkage assembly is configured to move between
- a first configuration for holding the display bracket at a first position, and
- a second configuration for holding the display bracket at a second position;
- a switch assembly configured to move into contact with a component of the mounting apparatus to position the display bracket at the first position;
- and
- a motor coupled to the mount assembly and configured to position the display bracket at the first position based on output from the switch assembly.

An auto-positioning mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mount assembly including
- a display bracket configured to carry an electronic display;
- a fixed support bracket configured to couple to a vertical wall;
- and
- a linkage assembly rotatably coupled to the display bracket and the fixed support bracket, the linkage assembly having
- a first configuration for holding the display bracket at a first position, and
- a second configuration for holding the display bracket at a second position;
- a switch assembly configured to move into contact with a component of the auto-positioning mounting apparatus to position the display bracket at the first position;
- and
- a motor coupled to the mount assembly and configured to cause the display bracket to move to the first position based on output from the switch assembly.

An auto-positioning mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mount assembly including
- a display bracket configured to carry an electronic display,
- a fixed support bracket configured to couple to a vertical wall, and
- a linkage assembly rotatably coupled to the display bracket and the fixed support bracket, the linkage assembly having
- a first configuration for holding the display bracket at a first position, and
- a second configuration for holding the display bracket at a second position;
- a switch assembly configured to move between a first configuration allowing movement of the display bracket and a second configuration for holding the display bracket stationary;
- and
- a motorized system including a motor coupled to the mount assembly, wherein the motorized system is configured to stop operation of the motor based on output from the switch assembly indicating the switch assembly has been moved to the second configuration.
