Abstract
A display mounting kit, system, and method are disclosed utilizing first and second primary releasable attachment elements that are secured about the periphery of a display panel and in a substantially corresponding relationship on a mounting surface, respectively. At least one supplementary fastening element having two interlocking component pieces for selective engagement with each other provides secure mounting between the display panel and the mounting surface. The at least one supplementary fastening element can also be utilized as a stand-alone primary fastening element.

A component piece for use in a mounting system comprising:
- a base structure having a first thickness, a tongue structure positioned along a first side thereof and a groove structure positioned along a second side thereof;
- a substantially planar first face extending between the first and second sides and an opposed second face extending between the first and second sides;
- and
- the second face carries first and second connection structures;
- wherein the first connection structure comprises:
- a reduced thickness portion defined along the second face;
- a first projection positioned along the reduced thickness portion;
- and
- a second projection positioned on the first projection.
A fastening element for use in a mounting system comprising:
- first and second selectively engageable component pieces, wherein each component piece comprises:
- a base structure having a first thickness, a tongue structure positioned along a first side thereof and a groove structure positioned along a second side thereof;
- a substantially planar first face extending between the first and second sides and an opposed second face extending between the first and second sides;
- and
- the second face carries first and second connection structures;
- wherein each first connection structure comprises:
- a reduced thickness portion defined along the respective second face;
- a first projection positioned along the reduced thickness portion;
- and
- a second projection positioned on the first projection.
A display panel mounting system for mounting a display panel to a mounting surface, comprising:
- first and second selectively engageable component pieces, wherein each component piece comprises:
- a base structure having a first thickness, a tongue structure positioned along a first side thereof and a groove structure positioned along a second side thereof;
- a substantially planar first face extending between the first and second sides and an opposed second face extending between the first and second sides;
- the second face carries first and second connection structures;
- and
- an attachment mechanism carried on the first face;
- wherein the attachment mechanism of the first component piece is engageable with a display panel and the attachment mechanism of the second component piece is engageable with a mounting surface;
- wherein each first connection structure comprises:
- a reduced thickness portion defined along the respective second face;
- a first projection positioned along the reduced thickness portion;
- and
- a second projection positioned on the first projection.
