Abstract

A mounting system for providing resilient mounting of a display device at a defined tilt angle. A surface mounting bracket configured to be attached to a mounting surface includes an engagement member and an engagement lip which are in communication with at least one engagement feature disposed on a display device bracket configured to be attached to a display device such as a flat panel television. The engagement feature, engagement lip, and engagement member are configured such that communication among these features results in an assembly that is resilient to inadvertent physical contact with the display device. The display device bracket is tiltable with respect to the surface mounting bracket, providing a defined tilt angle of the display device. Provision of a plurality of engagement features disposed on the display device bracket offers alternative assembly configurations, each capable of having defined tilt angles.

Claims (17)

1. A mounting system comprising:
a mounting surface bracket configured to attach to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket including an engagement member spaced a distance from the mounting surface and having an engagement lip protruding in a direction substantially towards the mounting surface;
at least one display device bracket configured to operatively couple to a display device, the display device bracket including at least one engagement feature configured to engage the engagement member and the engagement lip;
wherein communication between the engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement member and the engagement lip provides a resilient assembly of the display device to the mounting surface.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the display device bracket is tiltable, relative to the mounting surface bracket, to a tilt angle.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the display device bracket is configured such that a lower portion of the display device bracket contacts the mounting surface.
4. The system of claim 2, wherein the tilt angle is about zero degrees to about degrees.
5. The system of claim 2, further including at least one tilt bracket operatively coupled to at least one of the display device bracket; and wherein the tilt bracket is configured to limit the tilt angle by contact with the mounting surface.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein the tilt angle is limited to substantially zero degrees.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the display device bracket includes an engagement feature pair comprising a first engagement feature and a second engagement feature, and wherein the engagement feature pair is disposed on the display device bracket such that the first and the second engagement feature are in communication with the engagement member and the engagement lip.
8. The system of claim 7, wherein a plurality of the engagement feature pairs are disposed along a length of the display device bracket, thereby providing a plurality of alternative engagement feature pairs to accomplish a corresponding plurality of alternative assembly positions.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein each of the plurality of alternative assembly positions comprises a defined tilt angle.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the defined tilt angle of about 5 degrees is obtained by a first assembly position and the defined tilt angle of about 10 degrees is obtained by a second assembly position.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the at least one device mounting bracket comprises two device mounting brackets, wherein a first engagement feature pair and a second engagement feature pair is disposed on each of the two device mounting brackets.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the engagement feature comprises a hook.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one display device bracket is configured to operatively couple to an assembly, and wherein the assembly is configured to operatively couple to the display device.
14. The system of claim 1, wherein the mounting surface bracket comprises a plurality of the mounting surface brackets collinearly orientated on the mounting surface.
15. A method for mounting a display device comprising:
attaching a mounting surface bracket configured to attach to a mounting surface, the mounting surface bracket includes an engagement member spaced a distance from the mounting surface and having an engagement lip protruding in a direction substantially towards the mounting surface;

operatively coupling at least one display device bracket configured to operatively couple to the display device, the display device bracket including at least one engagement feature configured to engage the engagement member and the engagement lip;
selecting a tilt angle and corresponding engagement feature 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 engagement feature clears the engagement lip;
lowering the display device until the engagement feature is in communication with the mounting surface bracket;
translating the display device in a direction substantially away from the mounting surface until the engagement feature engages the engagement member;
allowing the display device bracket to tilt relative to the mounting surface bracket to the tilt angle;
wherein communication of the engagement feature of the at least one display device bracket and the engagement member and the engagement lip provides a resilient assembly of the display device to the mounting surface.
16. The method of claim 15 further comprising deploying a tilt bracket operatively coupled to the display device bracket and configured such that communication of the tilt bracket with the mounting surface limits the tilt angle.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the engagement feature comprises a hook.
