Resilient mounting system with tilt capabilities

A method for mounting a display device comprising:

• attaching a mounting surface bracket to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket including a mounting surface engaging portion, a bottom portion, an engagement portion spaced a distance from the mounting surface engaging portion, and an engagement lip protruding in a direction substantially towards the mounting surface engaging portion, the bottom portion, the engagement portion, and the engagement lip defining an engagement region;
• operatively coupling at least one display device bracket to a display device, the at least one display device bracket including a plurality of engagement features disposed along its length and configured to selectively engage the engagement portion and the engagement lip in a plurality of alternative assembly orientations, each of the plurality of engagement features characterized by an opening configured to at least partially receive the engagement lip and an engagement head configured to be at least partially received by the engagement region, the engagement head having a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface disposed between the first and the second surfaces;
• selecting a tilt angle and a corresponding engagement feature from the plurality of engagement features to accomplish the tilt angle;
• raising the display device until the corresponding engagement feature is above the mounting surface bracket;
• translating the display device towards the mounting surface until the corresponding engagement feature clears the engagement lip;
• lowering the display device until the corresponding engagement feature is in communication with the mounting surface bracket;
• translating the display device in a direction substantially away from the mounting surface engaging portion until the corresponding engagement feature engages the engagement portion;
• allowing the display device bracket to tilt relative to the mounting surface bracket to the tilt angle;
• wherein communication of the corresponding engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region including contact of the second surface with the bottom portion provides a resilient assembly that impedes vertical translation of the display device relative to the mounting surface in one of the plurality of assembly orientations.

A tiltable mounting system comprising:

• a mounting surface bracket configured to attach to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket including a mounting surface engaging portion, a bottom portion, an engagement portion spaced a distance from the mounting surface engaging portion, and an engagement lip protruding in a direction substantially towards the mounting surface engaging portion, the bottom portion, engagement portion, and the engagement lip defining an engagement region;
• and
• at least one display device bracket selectively assemblable to the mounting surface bracket in a plurality of alternative orientations, the at least one display device bracket configured to operatively couple to a display device, the display device bracket including:
• a first engagement feature configured to selectively engage the engagement region and located on the display bracket to assemble the display device bracket to the mounting surface bracket in a first assembly orientation, and
• a second engagement feature configured to selectively engage the engagement region and located on the display bracket to assemble the at least one display device bracket to the mounting surface bracket in a second assembly orientation,
• wherein the first and the second engagement features are each characterized by an engagement head configured to be at least partially received by the engagement region and an opening configured to partially receive the engagement lip, and wherein communication between the first engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region including contact between the engagement head with the bottom portion provides a resilient assembly that impedes vertical translation of the display device relative to the mounting surface in the first assembly orientation and communication between the second engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region including contact between the engagement head with the bottom portion provides a resilient assembly that impedes vertical translation of the display device relative to the mounting surface in the second assembly orientation.

A mounting system comprising:

• a mounting surface bracket configured to attach to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket including a mounting surface engaging portion, a bottom portion, an engagement portion spaced a distance from the mounting surface engaging portion, and an engagement lip protruding from the engagement portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the mounting surface engaging portion, the bottom portion, the engagement portion, and the engagement lip defining an engagement region;
• and
• at least one display device bracket configured to operatively couple to a display device, the display device bracket includes a plurality of engagement feature pairs that are disposed along a length of the display device bracket, each of the plurality of engagement feature pairs having a first engagement feature and a second engagement feature configured to engage the engagement portion and the engagement lip in alternative assembly positions, thereby providing a plurality of alternative engagement feature pairs to accomplish a corresponding plurality of alternative assembly positions between the display device bracket and the mounting surface bracket;
• wherein each of the first and second engagement features is characterized by an opening configured to at least partially receive the engagement lip and an engagement head configured to be at least partially received by the engagement region, the engagement head having a first surface substantially opposing and proximate the engagement lip, a second surface, and a third surface disposed between the first and the second surfaces and substantially opposing the engagement portion;
• wherein communication between the engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region provides a resilient assembly of the display device to the mounting surface;
• and
• wherein each of the plurality of alternative assembly positions comprises a defined tilt angle.

A tiltable mounting system comprising:

• a mounting surface bracket configured to attach to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket including a mounting surface engaging portion, a bottom portion, an engagement portion spaced a distance from the mounting surface engaging portion, and an engagement lip protruding in a direction substantially towards the mounting surface engaging portion, the bottom portion, engagement portion, and the engagement lip defining an engagement region;
• and
• at least one display device bracket selectively assemblable to the mounting surface bracket in a plurality of alternative orientations, the at least one display device bracket configured to operatively couple to a display device, the display device bracket including:
• a first engagement feature configured to selectively engage the engagement region and located on the display bracket to assemble the display device bracket to the mounting surface bracket in a first assembly orientation, and
• a second engagement feature configured to selectively engage the engagement region and located on the display bracket to assemble the at least one display device bracket to the mounting surface bracket in a second assembly orientation,
• wherein the first and the second engagement features are each characterized by an engagement head configured to be at least partially received by the engagement region and an opening configured to partially receive the engagement lip,
• wherein communication between the first engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region provides a resilient assembly of the display device to the mounting surface in the first assembly orientation and communication between the second engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement region provides a resilient assembly of the display device to the mounting surface in the second assembly orientation;
• and
• wherein the mounting system is capable of a first tilt angle in the first assembly orientation, and wherein the mounting system is capable of a second tilt angle in the second assembly orientation.
