Abstract

An apparatus permitting VESA compliant devices to be mounted onto a flat surface or mounted onto gang boxes of various international standards is described. The apparatus can include two main parts, the first of which (“VESA Bracket”) mounts onto a VESA compliant device, while the second of which (“Surface Bracket”) can be placed onto a flat surface. The two parts mate with each other using a set of tabs and fastening hardware. So that an aesthetic look is achieved, the part mounts the VESA device at a fixed angle, which creates a void space inside of the apparatus to allow power charging adapters or other electronic components and cables to be stored. The apparatus permits a completed assembly to be simply placed onto a desk or table top surface, or the additional hole patterns on the surface bracket can be utilized to mount and affix the assembly securely onto a gang box or any flat surface, with the complete assembly staying within ADA compliant dimensions.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A device mounting system comprising:

a first member having one or more holes formed through a back surface in a predetermined hole pattern, wherein the first member has a bottom side including one or more first member locking fastener apertures;
and
a second member having a plurality of device mounting holes formed in an electronic device mounting system pattern,
wherein the second member has a top side having a first depth and a bottom side having a second depth greater than the first depth such that the second member is sloped at a fixed angle,
wherein the fixed angle slope of the second member defines an interior volume of the system,
wherein the bottom side includes an angled member having at least one second member locking aperture formed to align with the one or more first member locking fastener apertures of the first member, and
wherein when a fastener is inserted into the one or more first member locking fastener apertures and then at least one second member locking aperture, the first member and the second member are securely coupled and cannot be uncoupled without use of tools.
