Abstract
A video screen mounting system including a vertical post having a mounting wall, a base supporting the vertical post, a cross beam having a body, a mounting leg extending rearwardly from the body, and at least one mounting channel located on one or more of a front, a top, and a bottom of the body, and a bracket removably mountable on the mounting wall of the vertical post and having a frontwardly extending flange for receiving and retaining the mounting leg of the cross beam.
Claims19
A video screen mounting system comprising:
- a vertical post having a mounting wall;
- a base supporting the vertical post;
- a cross beam for mounting one or more video screens, the cross beam having a body, a mounting leg facing rearwardly with respect to the body, and at least one mounting channel located on one or more of a front, a top, and a bottom of the body;
- and
- a bracket adapted to be removably mountable on the mounting wall of the vertical post and having a frontwardly extending flange for receiving and retaining the mounting leg of the cross beam;
- wherein the bracket further includes a pair of rearwardly facing locking tabs and wherein the mounting wall includes a pair of slots for receiving the locking tabs of the bracket;
- wherein the frontwardly extending flange of the bracket has an upwardly facing recess and the mounting leg of the cross beam has a downwardly protruding tip adapted to be received into the upwardly facing recess;
- and
- wherein the cross beam has two symmetric mounting legs and symmetrically oriented mounting channels such that upper and lower portions of the cross beam are identical.

A video screen mounting system comprising:
- a vertical post having a mounting wall, a pair of internal support walls separated by a slot of at least about ¾″ in width, and a rear wall the support walls connecting the mounting a wall to the rear wall to form a pair of laterally opening integral wiring channels each adapted to receive wiring for one or more video screens, the support walls and the slot forming a barrier to electromagnetic interference between the two wiring channels;
- a base supporting the vertical post;
- a cross beam for mounting the one or more video screens, the cross beam having a body, a mounting leg facing rearwardly with respect to the body, and at least one mounting channel located on one or more of a front, a top, and a bottom of the body;
- a bracket adapted to be removably mountable on the mounting wall of the vertical post and having a frontwardly extending flange for receiving and retaining the mounting leg of the cross beam;
- and
- a vertical bracket extending upwardly from the base and slidingly engaging the slot in the vertical post for interconnecting the post to the base.

- a vertical post having a mounting wall, a pair of internal support walls separated by a slot of at least about ¾″ in width, and a rear wall, the support walls connecting the mounting wall to the rear wall to form a pair of laterally opening integral wiring channels each adapted to receive wiring for one or more video screens ,the support walls and the slot forming a barrier to electromagnetic interference between the two wiring channels;
- a base supporting the vertical post, wherein the base includes a pair of integral wiring channels corresponding to the wiring channels in the vertical post, the wiring channels in the vertical post and in the base being contiguous;
- a cross beam for mounting the one or more video screens, the cross beam having a body, a mounting leg facing rearwardly with respect to the body, and at least one mounting channel located on one or more of a front, a top, and a bottom of the body;
- and
- a bracket adapted to be removably mounting on the mounting wall of the vertical post and having a frontwardly extending flange for receiving and retaining the mounting leg of the cross beam.
2 more elements
A video screen mounting system comprising:
- at least two vertical posts each having a mounting wall with pairs of mounting slots;
- a base corresponding to each mounting post, a vertical bracket extending upwardly from the base and slidingly engaging the corresponding vertical post for interconnecting each base to its respective vertical post;
- at least two cross beams each having a body, a mounting leg facing rearwardly with respect to the body, and a plurality of mounting channels located on one or more of a front, a top, and a bottom of the body;
- and
- a plurality of mounting brackets adapted to be removably mounted to the mounting wall of a vertical post, each mounting bracket including a pair of rearwardly facing locking tabs for engaging the mounting slots on the mounting wall, each mounting bracket having a frontwardly extending flange with an upwardly facing recess for receiving and retaining the mounting leg of a corresponding cross beam;
- wherein each of the mounting brackets further includes a pair of rearwardly facing locking tabs and wherein each of the mounting walls includes a pair of mounting slots for receving the locking tabs of the mounting brackets;
- wherein the frontwardly extending flange of each of the mounting brackets has an upwardly facing recess and the mounting leg of each of the cross beams has a downwardly protruding tip adapted to be received into the upwardly facing recess;
- and
- wherein each of the cross beams has two symmetric mounting legs and symmetrically oriented mounting channels such that upper and lower portions of the cross beam are identical.
