Abstract
A conversion system for mounting a flat panel display device to a portion of an existing CRT mounting system that has previously been mounted on a mounting surface. The conversion system can utilize portions of existing CRT mounting systems, including a previously installed wall arm, wall arms and/or ceiling extension column(s) from CRT mounts. One more display brackets are operatively connected to a mounting plate, which is operatively connected to an adapter box. The adapter box is configured to couple to an extension column, which is adapted to connect to a portion of the existing CRT mounting system.

A conversion system for mounting a display device, comprising:
- at least one display bracket configured to operatively connect to the display device;
- a mounting plate operatively engageable with the at least one display bracket;
- an intermediate bracket operatively connected to the mounting plate;
- and
- an adapter box operatively connected to the intermediate bracket, the adapter box configured to operatively connect to a portion of an existing cathode ray tube (CRT) mounting system.
A conversion system, comprising:
- a flat panel display device;
- at least one display bracket configured to operatively connect to the flat panel display device;
- a mounting plate operatively engageable with the at least one display bracket;
- an intermediate bracket operatively connected to the mounting plate;
- and
- an adapter box operatively connected to the intermediate bracket, the adapter box configured to operatively connect to a portion of an existing cathode ray tube (CRT) mounting system.
A method of mounting a display device to a portion of a previously-installed mounting system, comprising:
- (a) removing a first portion of the previously installed mounting system from a second portion of the previously installed mounting system, the second portion of the previously installed mounting system remaining secured to a mounting surface;
- (b) operatively connecting at least one display bracket to a display device;
- (c) operatively connecting an adapter box to the second portion of the previously installed mounting system;
- (d) operatively connecting a mounting plate bracket to the adapter box;
- and
- (e) operatively connecting the at least one display bracket to the mounting plate.
