Benefits of technology

[0011]One objective of the present invention is to provide safety means for stabilizing the display and securing display devices to a mounting plate for preventing possible unintentional movements of said display. Furthermore, it is important to provide safety means that offer the prevention of undesired movement of display object (e.g. flat screen, monitor). Unintentional and undesirable movements can result from gravitational forces applied onto the display object, alternatively unintentional bumping into the display or mounting plate and the like.

Problems solved by technology

Unintentional and undesirable movements can result from gravitational forces applied onto the display object, alternatively unintentional bumping into the display or mounting plate and the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]The present invention discloses a new and novel positioning mechanism and mount apparatus. The positioning mechanism according to the present invention can provide a rotational friction mechanism, a linear friction mechanism or combination thereof and a mount for mounting an electronic appliance thereon and tilting said appliance via the positioning mechanism. Thus, an object associated with the positioning mechanism such as a computer screen monitor, a television plasma, LCD or other screen, a audio speaker, a painting, a framed picture, a lighting device and the like, associated with the mechanism can be tilted, rotated or displaced in any desired direction. The positioning mechanism provides that a user can position an object in a new desired position without the said object, while being positioned into the desired position will have a self movement associated with the object's weight (e.g. downward as consequence of gravitation). The positioning mechanism provides that onc...

Abstract

An apparatus for positioning an object, such as an electronic appliance, the apparatus comprising a friction member and a friction generating member comprising a body member having one or more side surfaces for receiving the friction member, and an affixed member comprising a planar surface moveably connected to the friction generating member and having there between the friction member; whereby movement of said friction generating member generates a friction force between the friction member and the affixed member.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to a positioning mechanism. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rotational and linear positioning mechanism and a mount suitable for adjusting the position of suspended electric appliances such as television sets and the like.[0003]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0004]Mounting electronic appliances, such as a computer monitor, a television set, a video cassette recorder, a digital video and the like is accomplished by using mounting assemblies used to secure electronic appliances to walls or ceilings. Such mounting assemblies usually comprise a wall or ceiling bracket attached to a ceiling or a wall, an articulated support arm attached to said bracket and a support tray (e.g. mounting plate) attached to said arm on which the electronic appliance is positioned. U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,666 discloses a wall bracket for supporting an articulated support arm. Such a moun...
