Abstract
A support system for a display device comprise a track system that defines a display movement path for movement of the display device. A support member that is movably engaged with the track supports the movement of the display device along the movement path. A cable management system has a cable of predetermined length that electrically connects to the display device and a flexible cable carrier disposed in the track system carries the cable. The flexible cable carrier has a fixed end along a first cable movement path and a moving end along a second cable movement path that is distinct from the first cable movement path.
Claims19
A display system for moving the display along a display movement path, comprising:
- a display device, said display device being moveable through in a horizontal plane,
- a flexible cable carrier, said the flexible cable carrier having a fixed end along a first cable carrier movement path and a moving end along a second cable carrier movement path distinct from said first cable movement path,
- a communication cable means, said communication cable means being connected at a first end to said display device and at a second end to an output source and being carried within said flexible cable carrier, and
- means for supporting said flexible cable carrier along said first cable carrier movement path and along said second cable carrier movement path, said first cable carrier movement path and said second cable carrier movement path being in substantially the same horizontal plane wherein said first cable carrier movement path and second cable carrier movement path are substantially parallel to each other.
A display system for moving a display along a movement path, comprising:
- a display device,
- a track system, said track system having;
- a flexible cable carrier,
- said the flexible cable carrier having a fixed end along a first cable carrier movement path,
- a movable end mounted for movement along a second cable carrier movement path distinct from said first cable movement path,
- said flexible cable carrier having pivoted linked mounting brackets and being pivotable about a vertical axis substantially perpendicular to the cable carrier movement path,
- said pivoted linked mounting brackets of said flexible cable carrier having means for retaining said cable means within said flexible cable carrier,
- a communication cable means,
- said communication cable means being connected at a first end to said display device, at a second end to an output source, and
- being carried within said flexible cable carrier,
- means for supporting said flexible cable carrier along said first cable carrier movement path and along said second cable carrier movement path,
- a suspension member, said suspension member being;
- aligned vertically relative to said flexible cable carrier pivoted linked mounting brackets,
- secured at one end to said display device, and
- mounted at its other end for movement along said display movement path,
- said other end being positioned proximate said flexible cable carrier moving end, such that said display device is suspended for movement under the cable carrier.
