Abstract
A self-balanced adjustable mounting system for a flat panel display. When a flat panel display is attached to the mounting system, the display is adapted to revolve about a substantially horizontal axis extending proximate a center of gravity of the display. The system may be self-balancing at a plurality of locations about the axis.
Claims20
An electronic display system mountable on a fixed structure comprising:
- a flat panel electronic display device;
- a display interface presenting a display receiving surface and including a pair of guide structures disposed such that at least a portion of each guide structure intersects an arc of a circle, wherein the pair of guide structures is disposed on an opposite side of the display receiving surface from a center of the circle, the flat panel electronic display device received on the display receiving surface such that the center of the circle is disposed within the flat panel electronic display device;
- a support structure operably coupled with the display interface and comprising a pair of followers, each follower engaged with a separate one of the guide structures so that the display interface and flat panel electronic display device are tiltable about a generally horizontal pivot axis, the pivot axis extending through the center of the circle and oriented generally parallel with the display receiving surface.
A mount for attaching an electronic display device to a fixed structure, the mount comprising:
- a display interface presenting a display receiving surface and including a pair of guide structures disposed such that at least a portion of each guide structure intersects an arc of a circle, wherein the pair of guide structures is disposed on an opposite side of the display receiving surface from a center of the circle, the display receiving surface adapted to receive the electronic display device thereon such that the center of the circle is within the electronic display device;
- a support structure operably coupled with the display interface and including a pair of followers, each of the pair of followers engaged with a separate one of the guide structures so that the display interface is tiltable about a generally horizontal pivot axis extending generally parallel to the display receiving surface and through the center of the circle.
A flat panel electronic display mounting system comprising:
- a support structure mountable to a fixed structure;
- and
- a display interface with a forward display mounting surface for mounting to a rear side of a flat panel electronic display;
- wherein the display interface is coupled to the support structure to enable pivoting of the display interface and a flat panel electronic display mounted thereto about a generally horizontal pivot axis oriented generally parallel to the display mounting surface and spaced apart forwardly from the display mounting surface such that the pivot axis does not pass though any portion of the display interface or any portion of the support structure.

An electronic display system mountable on a fixed structure, the display system comprising:
- a flat panel electronic display device;
- a display interface including a display receiving surface and having a pair of guide structures that together define a display pivot center, the guide structures disposed on an opposite side of the display receiving surface from the display pivot center, the display receiving surface operably coupled to the flat panel electronic display device such that the display pivot center is spaced apart from the display interface and disposed within the flat panel electronic display device;
- and
- a support structure operably coupled with the display interface and comprising a pair of followers, each follower engaged with a separate one of the guide structures so that the display interface and flat panel electronic display device are selectively tiltable about a generally horizontal pivot axis, the pivot axis extending through the display pivot center and oriented generally parallel to the display receiving surface.
