Television wall bracket

A wall bracket mounting device for attaching a television set to a wall, comprising:

• an elongated bracket adapted to be mounted on a wall, the elongated bracket including a flat back plate having at least one row of locking elements formed therein and a pair of U-shaped confronting channels extending along opposite side edges thereof defining trackways of a predetermined width with a pair of vertical inner track surfaces spaced from said back plate;
• and
• a rigid slide assembly including a rigid angled member having a rigid lower flat portion, a middle juncture position, and a rigid upper flat portion parallel to and forwardly spaced from said lower flat portion and an elongated support arm projecting outwardly from the middle juncture portion, wherein said rigid slide assembly is engageable within said pair of U-shaped confronting channels and operable between a first position wherein said upper flat portion is rotated toward the back plate with the lower flat portion rotated away and disengaged from the back plate such that the rigid slide assembly may be adjusted vertically in the elongated bracket and a second position wherein said lower flat portion of said rigid slide assembly contacts said back plate and said upper flat portion of said rigid slide assembly contacts said pair of vertical inner track surfaces so as to lock the rigid slide assembly in a predetermined position, the locking of said rigid slide assembly against vertical movement provided by the pivotal movement of said rigid slide assembly about the intersection defined by the support arm and the vertical longitudinal axis of the rigid slide assembly to enable engagement of the rigid slide assembly with the elongated bracket such that pivoting of said rigid slide assembly with respect to said elongated bracket being the only means necessary for adjusting movement of said rigid slide assembly in said elongated vertical bracket.
