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. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

A mounting system, comprising:
- a wall bracket configured to be coupled to a vertical wall;
- an articulating assembly coupled to the wall bracket and including
- a television bracket configured to carry a television and movable between a raised position and a lowered position, and
- an arm rotatably carrying the television bracket and rotatably coupled to the wall bracket, wherein the articulating assembly is configured to position a television end of the arm below the wall bracket when the television bracket is in the lowered position, a wall end portion of the arm above a bottom of the wall bracket when the television bracket is in the raised position;
- and
- a counterbalance mechanism coupled to the articulating assembly, wherein the counterbalance mechanism includes
- a biasing mechanism,
- a slot,
- a slider movable along the slot, and
- a rotatable member configured to rotate to move the slider along the slot and adjust counterbalancing provided by the biasing mechanism.
