AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables secure and level mounting of monitors on uneven walls, facilitating edge-to-edge alignment and maintaining a continuous display without the need for multiple individual mounts, enhancing stability and aesthetic presentation.

Problems solved by technology

Wall mounts are often incompatible with uneven or contoured walls where the wall mount is affixed over recesses or raised wall portions or the wall mount and correspondingly the monitor must be positioned in an awkward location on the wall.
A similar challenge is that wall mounted monitors are often used to form displays having a large viewable area such that the display can be viewed or read from a distance.
Oversized or non-standard sized display monitors are often disproportionately more expensive than smaller monitors.
The inherent challenge with this arrangement is that each monitor must be individually oriented to present a single continuous display in a single plane.
In particular, the alignment of the monitors is further complicated when the monitors are mounted to an uneven or contoured walls in which the recesses and raised portions of the wall change the relative initial depth of the mounting bracket of each monitor resulting in an uneven display.
The issue is further complicated with large monitors where the weight of the monitor itself makes positioning and orienting the monitor more challenging.
In addition, the increased weight of the monitor decreases the possible distance the monitor can be positioned away from the wall as the increased leverage could cause the fasteners to separate from the wall.
The inherent challenge of mounting monitors on uneven or contoured walls creates a need for mounting monitors to non-planar walls while still positioning the monitor in the desired orientation.

Embodiment Construction

[0081]As depicted in FIGS. 1-6 and 14-23, a wall mount system 30, according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a plurality of wall mount assemblies 32, at least one elongated guide bar 34 and a plurality of monitor mount assemblies 36. Generally, the plurality of wall mount assemblies 32 is affixed to a wall, wherein each wall mount assembly 32 includes a depth adjustment feature for independently expanding or contracting each wall mount assembly 32. The mount assemblies 32 are expanded or contracted to account for recesses or elevated portions of a contoured or uneven wall such that the linear guide bar 34 is insertable through the each mount assemblies 32 regardless of the relative elevation of the portion of the wall to which the mount assembly 32 is mounted. In certain embodiments, at least a pair of guide bars 34 is inserted in parallel through the plurality of mount assemblies 32. Each monitor mount assembly 36 is releasably engagable to the guide bar 34, wher...

Abstract

A wall mount system for mounting a plurality of monitors on a wall. The system has a plurality of wall mount assemblies, a plurality of monitor interfaces adapted to receive an electronic display respectively, and a depth adjustment feature operably coupling each monitor interface to one of the wall mount assemblies and enabling the monitors to be positioned and adjusted to account for recesses or raised portions of the wall and present a continuous, planar monitor display surface.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 832619, filed Jun. 7, 2013, and entitled “WALL MOUNT SYSTEM”; U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 900517, filed Nov. 6, 2013, and entitled “WALL MOUNT SYSTEM”; and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 908145, filed Nov. 24, 2013, and entitled “WALL MOUNT SYSTEM”, all of said applications being hereby fully incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is directed to a wall mount system for mounting television or computer monitors to a wall. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a wall mount system having adjustment features for positioning the monitor in a desired orientation when mounted on uneven or contoured walls.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Television or computer monitors are often mounted on walls in restaurants, malls and similar settings with wall mounts to provide dynamically changing display updatable decor or information...
