Definitions
- the present invention relates to equipment mounting and security devices, especially ones that are adapted to secure various appliances, such as a television, to a support surface, such as an end table in a hotel room, or to a support arm.
- Prior art devices also include devices in which the base of an appliance is adhesively mounted directly to a support surface. However, such a mounting allows the adhesive means to be scraped from the support surface by a knife or other means.
- Other devices include those in which the appliance is directly secured by fasteners or other means to the support surface, for which a pattern of holes or slots on the appliance must match a similar pattern on the support surface. Thus, should the appliance be moved or disengaged from the supporting device, the appliance is left in a defaced condition.
- the prior art lacks a mounting and security device for both home and commercial applications which can be readily and easily attached to appliances of varying shapes and sizes, as well as being relatively inexpensive to manufacture and install.
- the device would be flexible enough to be used both by homeowners interested in mounting an appliance to a support surface as well as companies interested in more secure commercial anti-theft applications.
- the device for home applications would not require that the appliance be bolted directly to a support surface, but would be supported by a base and adjustably secured between side brackets, with the base being connected to side brackets by threaded fasteners and the base being directly secured to a support surface or mounting arm. Missing from the prior art is the flexibility to interchange such devices for home or for commercial applications.
- the present invention provides new advantages not found in currently available devices and overcomes the disadvantages associated with those devices, including the disadvantages discussed above.
- An object, therefore, of the invention is to provide a new and improve mounting and security device for mounting an appliance on a support surface or to an arm extending from a wall or ceiling.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device which can adhesively fasten an appliance to an easily adjustable mounting assembly while eliminating the possibility that the adhesive can be removed by a knife or similar means.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a device having a base supporting the appliance and side brackets connected to that base which will adjustably clamp and retain the appliance.
- a still further object of the present invention is to provide a security device having locking means for securing appliances of various sizes and shapes.
- An additional object of the present invention is to provide a device of the character described which is adapted to be attached to a suitable, complementary holding arm.
- a security device for mounting an appliance on a support surface, or for hanging an appliance from a wall or ceiling.
- the security device includes a base which supports the appliance; at least two side brackets disposed at opposite sides of the base; means for adjusting the spacing of the brackets to conform to the size of the appliance; and means for developing a frictional or adhesive force between the brackets and the appliance to affix the appliance in position on the base.
- a security device which includes locking means.
- the adjusting means includes a first set of threaded fasteners which are insertable through the brackets, and are secured to a second set of threaded fasteners which are disposed in the base.
- the first set of threaded fasteners may include allen head tips, together with suitable locking means.

- the appliance to be mounted is preferably turned over, and the base 11 is reversed and placed on the appliance bottom.
- the appliance can be directly placed on base 11 without reversing the base.
- Adhesive pads 21 are then affixed to the appliance sides.
- fasteners 25 can be inserted through lower base section. 12 and upper base section 13 and directly into the support surface, as shown in FIG. 3.
- a security nut 26 may be used to secure the fasteners
- an arm bracket as shown in FIG. 7, may be used to mount the appliance to an arm extending from a wall or ceiling, as will be described in more detail below.
- a recess or channel 70 is formed in the base and is appropriately sized to accommodate vertical portion 17 of bracket 15, thus effectively increasing the width over which the device can be adjusted.
- a first set of threaded fasteners, rods 18, are now inserted through the apertures on the side brackets and into the compartment, mating with and screwing into a second set of fasteners, nuts 14, which are welded to a portion of the base.
- Nuts 14 preferably consist of threaded nuts sold under the trademark TINNERMAN®.
- a portion of the base can be bent to depend into the compartment, and either accommodate a TINNERMAN® nut or itself be threaded.
- the fastener rods With the generally vertical portions 17 of side brackets 15 containing and retaining padded inserts 20, whose inner face is affixed to adhesive pad 21, the fastener rods are now tightened a sufficient amount to ensure that the appliance will be squeezed or clamped between the side brackets to provide a secure mount.
- Friction pads which are preferably made of any suitable rubber or rubber-like material such as urethane, can be substituted for the adhesive pads. When friction pads are used, the appliance is still securely mounted, but it can now be easily disengaged from the mount.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an elongated upwardly facing channel-shaped element which forms lower base section 12, and a generally flat element which forms upper base section 13.
- FIGS. 2 and 9 are easily adaptable to applications in which the base is to be directly secured to the support surface or, alternatively, in which the base is to be attached to a receiving arm.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is preferably adapted to mounting an appliance, such as a television, to upper base section 13, since this section is flatter and has a greater surface area, and thus can more easily . .accomodate.!. .Iadd.accommodate .Iaddend.an appliance, which may include legs.
- Lower case section 12 of FIG. 9 could then be mounted to a moveable arm mounted on a wall or ceiling, be directly fastened to a support surface.
- FIG. 9 the embodiment shown in FIG.
- FIG. 2 is preferably adapted to mounting and/or locking items, such as business equipment, to a support surface such as end table or counter top. Such equipment is preferably secured using the tab and lower adhesive pad securing means shown in FIG. 8, in conjunction with the base section configuration disclosed in FIG. 2.
- One application of the present invention is for mounting an appliance, such as a television, to a wall mount or other device which includes a fixed or moveable and/or telescoping arm.
- an arm receiver bracket 30, shown in FIG. 7 is rigidly secured or welded to a lower portion of base section 12 of base 11. Once the appliance has been securely mounted between side brackets 15, the appliance can then be further mounted to a receiving arm cooperative with arm receiver bracket 30, or a similar arm receiver.
- tip 19 of threaded fastener 18 can be provided with a nonconventional head or opening.
- Nonconventional is defined in this application to mean a polygonal, oblong or other non-standard shaped opening which is not accessible by conventional "phillips" or flat head screwdrivers.
- a lock can also be provided to fit over the allen head tip 19 of fastener rod 18, as shown in FIG. 12. Only a key can be used to disengage and remove this lock from the fastener rod and expose the allen head tip.
- the fastener rod itself can be provided with a lock at its tip, as shown in FIG. 13. In this way, a key must be inserted into the lock, and only then can the fastener rod be rotated.
- FIG. 8 Another mounting method is shown in FIG. 8.
- a large foam adhesive pad 40 can be provided beneath the lower portion of lower base section 12 to secure the base to a support surface.
- Adhesive pad 40 is provided with upstanding tab 41, while the bottom portion of lower section 12 is provided with a slot 42 sized to accommodate tab 41. Once tab 41 is inserted through slot 42, a holding pin 43 can be used to anchor the base to the adhesive pad 40 and the support surface.
- Both threaded fastener rods 18 and generally horizontal portions 16 of side brackets 15 can be of any length less than the base length. Therefore, it can be appreciated that an appliance of virtually any size can be quickly, securely and easily mounted to a support surface or a holding arm by the present invention. Appliances with tapering or sloping sides can also be accommodated by side brackets 15 which, in cross-section, have a generally triangular or trapezoidal shape. The sloping inner surface of the side brackets would mate with the sloping appliance sides.
- horizontal and vertical portions or legs 16 and 17 of the side brackets could be made pivotable by any expedient means (for examples, legs 16 and 17 could be separate parts, joined at their intersection by a retaining bolt). In this way, padded support 20 would be tilted along with vertical leg 17 to accommodate any sloping appliance surface.
- side brackets 15 of the present invention can be made with a variety of sloping or curved portions which can accommodate appliances of many different shapes.
