Television mount with motion control features

A television mount comprising:

• a wall interface adapted to attach to a wall;
• a television interface adapted to attach to a television;
• an arm assembly having a first end pivotally coupled to the wall interface and a second end pivotally coupled to the television interface;
• and
• a wrist motion control operably coupled between the arm assembly and the television interface, wherein the wrist motion control is selectively adjustable to increase and decrease friction between the television interface and the arm assembly, thereby selectively limiting shifting of the television interface relative to the arm assembly,
• wherein the wrist motion control comprises a guide bracket defining a slot, the guide bracket operably coupled to the television interface, and a follower bracket attached to the arm assembly, a friction control extending through the slot and threaded into the arm assembly.

A television mount comprising:

• a wall interface adapted to attach to a wall;
• a television interface adapted to attach to a television;
• an arm assembly having a pair of articulating arms, each articulating arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the wall interface and a second end pivotally coupled to the television interface;
• a pair of motion control arms pivotally coupled to the wall interface, each one of the motion control arms slidably coupled to a separate one of the articulating arms through a separate friction control, wherein each friction control is selectively adjustable to increase and decrease sliding friction between the respective motion control arm and the articulating arm, thereby selectively limiting shifting of the articulating arm relative to the wall interface;
• and
• a pair of wrist motion controls, each wrist motion control operably coupled between a separate one of the articulating arms and the television interface, wherein the wrist motion control is selectively adjustable to increase and decrease friction between the television interface and the articulating arm, thereby selectively limiting shifting of the television interface relative to the articulating arm.
