Low Profile Tilt Mount

a tilt mount and low profile technology, applied in washstands, scaffold accessories, lighting supports, etc., can solve the problems of repositioning a monitor, not always feasible, and difficult to access the back of the monitor, so as to achieve a clean look and minimize the overall depth of the mount system

Benefits of technology

[0008]With the first and second bars arranged as mentioned above, the overall depth of the mount system may be minimized so that the rear side of the monitor is substantially flush with the mounting surface such as the wall. Moreover, the moving mechanism such as the first and second bars may be located on the bottom half portion of the monitor so that the top portion behind the monitor is substantially clear of the mechanism to give the mount system a clean look.

Problems solved by technology

Second, closer the monitor is to the wall, it is more difficult to have access to the back of the monitor.
Repositioning a monitor, however, is not always feasible because of the weight of the monitor makes it difficult to move or the monitor may be located high above the floor so that the viewer may not be able to reach it without a ladder for example.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a mount system 10 in a retracted position adapted to pivot a monitor 12 about an X-axis or about YZ plane. The monitor 12 may have a center of gravity 14 about its center and the direction of the gravitational force may be generally along the negative (−) Y-axis. It is, however, within the scope of this invention to have the gravitational force in other directions. The mount system 10 may include an attachment bracket 16 adapted to couple the mount system 10 and to a supporting surface such as a wall 18. The mount system 10 may also include a first mount bracket 20 and a second mount bracket 22 adapted to couple to the rear side 24 of the monitor 12. The first and second mount brackets may be substantially similar to each other so for purpose of this description the first mount bracket 20 will be described in detail below.

[0030]The first mounting bracket 20 includes a first panel mounting bracket 26 and a first anchoring bracket 28. The first...

Abstract

A mount system for a monitor tilts the monitor between a retracted position and an extended position. The mount system includes a first anchoring bracket adapted to couple to the supporting surface, and a first panel mounting bracket adapted to couple to a rear side of the monitor. The mount system also includes first and second bars between the first anchoring bracket and the first panel mounting bracket. The first and second bars are arranged in such a way that the weight of the monitor is substantially balanced against the natural tendency of the monitor to lend down so that a user may move the monitor between the extended and retracted position with ease.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. Nos. (1) 61 / 142,899, filed Jan. 7, 2009; and (2) 61 / 089,575, filed Aug. 18, 2008, which are both hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention is directed to a mount system that is adapted to couple to a back side of a monitor and reposition the viewing angle of the monitor, and in particular, to tilt the monitor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Flat panel monitors such as computer monitors, LCD, plasma, slim televisions, and the like (collectively referred to as “monitor(s)”) are becoming popular because they can be mounted onto a wall to save floor space and for their aesthetically pleasing appearance. Moreover, the recent trend is to make the flat screen monitors slim as possible. For instance, some monitors are now about 1.5 inches in thickness. And with such slim monitors, it is desirable to mount the monitor close to the wall as possible.[0004]Mounting ...
