The bracket can be configured to pivot between an open and a closed position. When the bracket is in the open position, a display device will be lifted upwardly thereby facilitating access to the rear surface of the display device. The bracket can then be returned to the closed position in which the display device will be properly oriented for use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A digital display mounting and lift bracket comprising: a bracket support; a mount member that includes a stationary member that is coupled to the bracket support and a pivoting member that is coupled to the stationary member via a hinged connection, the hinged connection allowing the pivoting member to pivot between a closed position in which the pivoting member is adjacent to the stationary member and an open position in which the pivoting member is elevated away from the stationary member; and one or more shocks that extend between the bracket support and the pivoting member, the one or more shocks retaining the pivoting member in the open position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the stationary member comprises a vertical arm that is removably coupled to the bracket support and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from an end of the vertical arm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The bracket of claim 2, wherein the pivoting member comprises a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from an end of horizontal arm, the horizontal arm of the stationary member being coupled to the horizontal arm of the pivoting member via a hinge to form the hinged connection. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The bracket of claim 3, wherein the pivoting member is nested within the stationary member when the pivoting member is in the closed position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The bracket of claim 3, wherein the stationary member includes one or more fillets that extend between the vertical arm and the horizontal arm of the stationary member. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The bracket of claim 3, wherein the pivoting member includes one or more fillets that extend between the vertical arm and the horizontal arm of the pivoting member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The bracket of claim 3, wherein sides edges of the vertical arm of the pivoting member are bent towards the stationary member. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The bracket of claim 7, wherein the one or more shocks are each coupled to one of the bent side edges of the vertical arm of the pivoting member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the mount member ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the bracket support includes one or more mounting structures to which the mount member couples to secure the mount member to the bracket support. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The bracket of claim 1, wherein the bracket support is configured to be coupled to a wall or an enclosure. ### Claim 12 A digital display mounting and lift bracket comprising: a bracket support; and a mount member that includes a stationary member and a pivoting member, the stationary member being formed of a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical arm of the stationary member, the pivoting member being formed of a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical arm of the pivoting member, the pivoting member being nested within the stationary member with the horizontal arm of the pivoting member being coupled to the horizontal arm of the stationary member via a hinge thereby allowing the pivoting member to pivot between a closed position in which the vertical arm of the pivoting member is adjacent to the vertical arm of the stationary member and an open position in which the vertical arm of the pivoting member is elevated from the vertical arm of the stationary member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The bracket of claim 12, further comprising: one or more shocks that are configured to maintain the pivoting member in the open position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The bracket of claim 13, wherein the one or more shocks are each coupled between the bracket support and the vertical arm of the pivoting member. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The bracket of claim 12, wherein the vertical arm of the pivoting member includes a mount plate for mounting a display device to the bracket. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The bracket of claim 12, further comprising: one or more fillets that extend between the vertical and horizontal arms of the stationary member; and one or more fillets that extend between the vertical and horizontal arms of the pivoting member. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The bracket of claim 12, wherein the vertical arms of the stationary and pivoting members include side edges that are bent towards the bracket support. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The bracket of claim 17, wherein each of the one or more shocks is coupled to one of the bent side edges of the vertical arm of the pivoting member. ### Claim 19 A digital display mounting and lift bracket comprising: a mount member that includes a stationary member and a pivoting member, the stationary member being formed of a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical arm of the stationary member, the pivoting member being formed of a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical arm of the pivoting member, the pivoting member being nested within the stationary member with the horizontal arm of the pivoting member being coupled to the horizontal arm of the stationary member via a hinge thereby allowing the pivoting member to pivot between a closed position in which the vertical arm of the pivoting member is adjacent to the vertical arm of the stationary member and an open position in which the vertical arm of the pivoting member is elevated from the vertical arm of the stationary member. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The bracket of claim 19, further comprising: a bracket support to which the vertical arm of the stationary member couples; and one or more shocks that are coupled to the vertical arm of the pivoting member, the one or more shocks configured to maintain the pivoting member in the open position.
