Abstract
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket coupleable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. Tilt adjustment mechanisms are used to adjust the tilt of the display bracket.

1-19. (canceled)
A television mounting system, comprising:
- a mount assembly configured to be coupled to a wall and including
- a display bracket configured to hold a television, and
- a linkage assembly configured to rotate relative to the wall and to carry the display bracket;
- an actuator assembly coupled to the mount assembly and configured to operate to move the display bracket between a raised position and a lowered position;
- and
- at least one positioner coupled to the linkage assembly and positioned to contact the display bracket to cause the display bracket to rotate relative to the linkage assembly and the wall when the display bracket moves toward the raised position.
A television mounting system, comprising:
- a mount assembly configured to be coupled to a wall and including
- a display bracket configured to hold a television, and
- a linkage assembly configured to rotate relative to the wall between a raised configuration and a lowered configuration, wherein the linkage assembly is configured to carry the display bracket;
- an actuator assembly coupled to the mount assembly and configured to operate to raise and lower the display bracket;
- a positioner carried by the mount assembly and configured to push the display bracket such that the display bracket rotates relative to the linkage assembly as the display bracket moves toward a raised position;
- and
- a control device programmed to control operation of the actuator assembly.
A television mounting system, comprising:
- a mount assembly configured to be coupled to a wall and including
- a display bracket, and
- a linkage assembly configured to carry the display bracket, wherein the linkage assembly is configured to rotate relative to the wall and is movable between
- a raised configuration for holding the display bracket at a raised position, and
- a lowered configuration for holding the display bracket at a lowered position;
- an actuator assembly configured to move the linkage assembly to raise and lower the display bracket, wherein the television mounting system is configured to rotate the display bracket relative to the linkage assembly and the wall as the television mounting system raises the display bracket;
- and
- at least one positioner positioned to contact the display bracket such that the display bracket rotates relative to the linkage assembly when the display bracket is raised.
A television mounting system comprising:
- a mount assembly configured to be coupled to a wall and including
- a wall bracket,
- a display bracket configured to hold a television, and
- an arm assembly configured to rotate relative to the wall and to carry the display bracket, wherein the arm assembly includes spaced apart sidewalls;
- one or more gas pistons coupled to mount assembly, wherein each of the one or more gas pistons has an end portion positioned directly between the spaced apart sidewalls;
- one or more actuators coupled to the mount assembly such that the one or more gas pistons and the one or more actuators together allow the display bracket to be raised or lowered;
- and
- a control device communicatively coupled to the one or more actuators and programmed to wirelessly communicate with a wireless remote for controlling operation of the one or more actuators to cause the display bracket to move between a raised position and a lowered position.
