Abstract
A display mount for an electronic display. The mount includes a support bracket adapted to be secured to a wall or similar structure, and a display bracket adapted to be secured to an electronic display. The support bracket includes a plurality of pairs of angled slots, each pair of angled slots having a different angle than the other pairs. The slots receive fasteners which secure the support bracket to the wall, as well as provide a means for adjusting the tilt of the bracket so as to ensure the bracket is level. The display bracket is attachable to a display, and a structure adapted to cooperate with a corresponding structure on the support bracket to hang the display from the support bracket.
Claims15
A mount for a flat panel electronic display device, the mount comprising:
- a support bracket adapted to attach to a wall of a structure, the support bracket comprising a planar mounting portion and a cleat portion extending outwardly therefrom, the mounting portion defining a first pair of opposing angled slots, each slot of the pair of slots disposed equidistant from a center of the mounting portion, the slots oriented such that when fasteners are received through the slots to mount the support bracket to the wall, the support bracket is shiftable to enable leveling of the support bracket by sliding of the fasteners in the slots;
- and
- a display bracket adapted to attach to the flat panel electronic display device, the display bracket comprising a planar display interface portion and a cleat portion extending therefrom, wherein the cleat portion of the display bracket is selectively engageable with the cleat portion of the support bracket to hang the flat panel electronic display device on the wall.
An electronic display system comprising:
- a flat panel electronic display device;
- a support bracket adapted to attach to a wall of a structure, the support bracket comprising a planar mounting portion and a cleat portion extending outwardly therefrom, the mounting portion defining a first pair of opposing angled slots, each slot of the pair of slots disposed equidistant from a center of the mounting portion, the slots oriented such that when fasteners are received through the slots to mount the support bracket to the wall, the support bracket is shiftable to enable leveling of the support bracket by sliding of the fasteners in the slots;
- and
- a display bracket attached to the flat panel electronic display device, the display bracket comprising a planar display interface portion and a cleat portion extending therefrom, wherein the cleat portion of the display bracket is selectively engageable with the cleat portion of the support bracket to hang the flat panel electronic display device on the wall.
A method of mounting a flat panel electronic display on a wall, the method comprising:
- attaching a support bracket to the wall, the support bracket comprising a planar mounting portion and a cleat portion extending outwardly therefrom, the mounting portion defining a first pair of opposing angled slots, each slot of the pair of slots disposed equidistant from a center of the mounting portion, the support bracket being attached to the wall with fasteners though the slots;
- levelling the support bracket on the wall by sliding the slots relative to the fasteners in the slots;
- tightening the fasteners to secure the support bracket in place on the wall;
- attaching a display bracket adapted to the flat panel electronic display device, the display bracket comprising a planar display interface portion and a cleat portion extending therefrom;
- and
- engaging the cleat portion of the display bracket with the cleat portion of the support bracket to hang the flat panel electronic display device on the wall.
