Vibration-isolating mounting bracket assembly for television supporting frame

A television supporting frame, comprising:

• (a) a peripheral frame structure having front and rear portions spaced apart from one another and opposite side portions spaced apart from one another and extending between and rigidly connected to said front and rear portions such that said peripheral frame structure encloses a space and is adapted to pivot about an axis of rotation extending parallel to said front and rear portions and located adjacent to said rear portion;
• and
• (b) at least a pair of vibration-isolating mounting bracket assemblies spaced apart from one another and disposed in said space of said peripheral frame structure and extending between said front and rear portions of said peripheral frame structure and spaced inwardly said opposite side portions of said peripheral frame structure, each of said mounting bracket assemblies including
• (i) a first mounting rail extending between and having a pair of opposite ends rigidly connected to said front and rear portions of said peripheral frame structure,
• (ii) a second mounting rail extending along and generally parallel to and being spaced from said first mounting rail and extending between said front and rear portions of said peripheral frame structure, said second mounting rail having a pair of opposite ends spaced from said front and rear portions and said opposite side portions of said peripheral frame structure such that said second mounting rail is not directly connected to said peripheral frame structure, said second mounting rails of said mounting bracket assemblies having means for mounting a television thereto, and
• (iii) a plurality of vibration-dampening elements each made of resiliently yieldable material, first ones and second ones of said elements being disposed between and interconnecting said first and second mounting rails so as to mount said second mounting rail to be floatably movable relative to said first mounting rail along generally orthogonal X and Y axes, and third ones of said elements being disposed between said opposite ends of said second mounting rail and said front and rear portions of said peripheral frame structure so as to mount said second mounting rail to be floatably movable relative to said front and rear portions of said peripheral frame structure along a Z axis generally orthogonal to said X and Y axes such that any vibrations imparted to said peripheral frame structure will be substantially prevented from reaching said second mounting rails and the television mounted thereto.
