[0014] This disclosure relates to a display mounting apparatus. One or more electronic displays may be coupled to the display mounting apparatus. The display mounting apparatus may include a riser (e.g., a support column, rod, etc.) and one or more arm assemblies. One or more arm assemblies may be operable to translate (e.g., move, rotate, tilt, raise, or lower, etc.) the one or more displays.

[0015] For example, a display mounting assembly may include a base, a riser, a collar, an arm assembly, and a display joint. The riser may be connected to and extend from the base. The riser may be at least partially located within the collar, and the collar may be slidably engaged with the riser. The arm assembly may be connected between the riser and the display joint. The arm assembly may be operable to translate the display joint relative to the riser. The arm assembly may be configured to change the angle of the display joint relative to the riser.

[0016] The display mounting device can be attached to a work surface or structure (e.g., wall, table, pole, cabinet, rack, etc.). For example, the riser of the display mounting device can be attached (e.g., clamped, bolted, etc.) to the work surface. One or more arm assemblies can be releasably attached to the riser. The user of the display mounting device can selectively change the position (e.g., height) of one or more arm assemblies relative to the riser. Locking mechanisms (e.g., knobs, levers, clamps, etc.) can secure one or more arm assemblies at a desired height relative to the work surface or structure. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following detailed description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides some practical illustrations for carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. Examples of construction, materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes are provided for selected elements, and all other elements employ construction, materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes known to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will recognize that many of the examples mentioned have various suitable alternatives.

[0018] Figure 1 Examples of display mounting devices that can implement the various technologies disclosed herein are shown. Figure 1 The display mounting device 100 may include a base 160, a support column (e.g., a rod 140), and an arm assembly 200. In other example configurations, one or more arm assemblies may be coupled to the rod 140.

[0019] The base 160 can be coupled to the working surface 50 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 2 As illustrated, the edge of the clamping assembly 60 is attached to the working surface 50, connected to the working surface via a hole, or stands independently above the working surface (e.g.). In some example configurations, the clamping assembly 60 can be attached to the base 160, such as... Figure 1 As illustrated in the figure. When the display mounting device 100 is positioned near the edge of the working surface 50, the clamping assembly 60 can be adapted to clamp to the edge of the working surface 50. In other example configurations, the rod 140 can be attached to a structure (e.g., a wall, cabinet, etc.).

[0020] The rod 140 may have a first portion 140A and a second portion 140B. The first portion 140A of the rod 140 may be connected to a base 160, and the rod 140 may extend laterally from the base 160 toward the second portion 140B. The rod 140 may be formed of any engineering material, including but not limited to steel, aluminum extrusions, cast aluminum, etc. The rod 140 may have a hollow (e.g., tubular) body or a solid (e.g., rod-shaped) body and may at least partially be formed with a circular cross-section. The rod 140 may form a first axis 141 extending longitudinally from the first portion 140A to the second portion 140B. The first axis 141 may be generally vertical (e.g., perpendicular to the working surface 50).

[0021] In some example configurations, arm assembly 200 may include arm 240, pivot assembly 260, and display joint 280. Arm 240 may be rotatably coupled to rod 140 near a first portion 242, and may be rotatably coupled to pivot assembly 260 near a second portion 243 opposite to the first portion 242. In other example configurations, arm 240 may be a first arm, and the arm assembly may include a second arm rotatably coupled between the first arm and the pivot assembly. The second arm may be an extension arm with a fixed height or a height-adjustable arm.

[0022] The pivot assembly 260 may include a disc bracket 263 and a tilt bracket 265. The disc bracket 263 may be rotatably coupled to the first arm 240 about a second axis 241, and the tilt bracket 265 may be rotatably coupled to the disc bracket 263 about a third axis 261. The second axis 241 may be generally vertical (e.g., the second axis 241 is parallel to the first axis 141), and the third axis 261 may be perpendicular to the second axis 241 (e.g., the third axis 261 may be oriented horizontally). The display joint 280 may be rotatably coupled to the tilt bracket 265 about a fourth axis 281. The fourth axis 281 may be perpendicular to the third axis 261.

[0023] The electronic display 145 can be coupled to the display junction 280 to position the electronic display 145 above a surface (e.g., working surface 50) or in front of a structure (e.g., a wall, cabinet, etc.). The arm assembly 200 can be adapted to translate (e.g., move, rotate, tilt, etc.) the electronic display 145 relative to the surface or structure.

[0024] In some example configurations, the display mounting device 100 may further include a collar 180 with a locking mechanism 170. In some example configurations, the locking mechanism 170 may include a knob 175. In other example configurations, the locking mechanism 170 may include a lever, a clamp, etc. The locking mechanism 170 may have a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration. In the locking configuration of the locking mechanism 170, the collar 180 may be in a fixed configuration (e.g., the collar 180 may be stationary relative to the lever 140), and in the unlocking configuration of the locking mechanism 170, the collar 180 may be in a movable configuration (e.g., the collar 180 may translate or rotate relative to the lever 140).

[0025] The lever 140 may be at least partially located inside the collar 180, and the collar 180 may be slidably engaged with the lever 140. The collar 180 may translate along the lever 140 within a travel range 143, and the collar 180 may be positioned along the length of the lever 140 within the travel range 143 at any position between a first portion 140A and a second portion 140B of the lever 140. A locking mechanism 170 (e.g., a knob 175) may be coupled to the collar 180, and the locking mechanism 170 may be operated to engage with the lever 140 to place the collar 180 in a fixed configuration (e.g., to secure the collar 180 at a desired height relative to the base 160). In the fixed configuration, the collar 180 may support the arm 240 to hold the arm 240 at a desired height relative to the base 160.

The opening 244 may be formed with a circular cross-section having a first diameter 245 near the first arm surface 248 and a second diameter 246 near the second arm surface 249. In some example configurations, the second diameter 246 may be larger than the first diameter 245. The first diameter 245 and the second diameter 246 may be concentric at a fifth axis 1411. A protrusion 247 may be formed as a transition region between the first diameter 245 and the second diameter 246.

[0028] Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional side view of a collar 180, which has a first collar surface 181 and a second collar surface 182 opposite to the first collar surface 181. The collar 180 can be formed of any engineering material, including but not limited to steel, cast aluminum, nylon, ABS, etc. An opening 184 can be formed on the collar 180. The opening 184 extends from the first collar surface 181 to the second collar surface 182. The opening 184 can have a circular cross-section, having a first collar diameter 185 near the first collar surface 181 and a second collar diameter 186 near the second collar surface 182. The first collar diameter 185 can be adapted to receive a rod 140. The second collar diameter 186 can be larger than the first collar diameter 185. A recess 187 can be formed between the first collar diameter 185 and the second collar diameter 186. The recess 187 can have a third collar diameter 188.

The second ring with a diameter of 186, the first ring with a diameter of 185, and the third ring with a diameter of 188 can be concentric at the sixth axis 1412.

[0029] A threaded hole 189 may be formed on the collar 180, in a section having a first collar diameter 185, between the first collar surface 181 and the second collar surface 182. The threaded hole 189 may extend laterally from the opening 184 (for example, the threaded hole 189 may be perpendicular to the sixth axis 1412).

[0030] Figure 6 This is a side view of a knob 175 according to an exemplary configuration of the present disclosure. The knob 175 may include a handle 176 and a threaded shaft 177.

The first portion 177A of the threaded shaft 177 may be coupled to the handle 176, and a protrusion 178 may be coupled to the second portion 177B. The protrusion 178 may be made of an engineered material, including but not limited to nylon, rubber, etc. The threaded shaft 177 may be adapted to engage threadedly with a threaded hole 189 of a collar 180.

[0031] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of a sleeve 300 according to an exemplary configuration of the present disclosure. The sleeve 300 may include a hollow sleeve body 301 extending from a first portion 302 to a second portion 303 opposite to the first portion 302. The sleeve body 301 may be formed with a circular cross-section having a seventh axis 1413 at its center. The sleeve body 301 may include an inner surface 304 having an inner diameter 305 and an outer surface 306 having an outer diameter 307. The inner diameter 305 may be adapted to receive a rod 140.

[0032] A slit 310 may be formed on the sleeve body 301. The slit 310 may extend from a first portion 302 to a second portion 303 of the sleeve body 301. In some example configurations, the slit 310 may be parallel to the seventh axis 1413; in other configurations, the slit 310 may be formed at an angle to the seventh axis 1413. The slit 310 may have a first edge 311 and a second edge 312 opposite to the first edge 311 formed on the sleeve body 301.

[0033] The sleeve 300 may further include a first flange 315 and a second flange 316. The first flange 315 and the second flange 316 may be formed on the sleeve body 301 adjacent to the first portion 302 and the second portion 303, respectively. The first flange 315 and the second flange 316 may be formed to extend in a circular manner from the first edge 311 to the second edge 312 of the slit 310. In some example configurations, a gap region 317 may be formed on the first flange 315 and the second flange 316 adjacent to the slit 310. The gap region 317 may be formed on one or both sides of the slit 310. In some example configurations, each of the first flange 315 and the second flange 316 may be formed as a continuous flange; in other configurations, each of the first flange 315 and the second flange 316 may be formed as a discontinuous flange distributed around the periphery of the sleeve 300.

[0034] The second collar diameter 186 is adapted to receive the outer diameter 307 of the sleeve 300, and the recess 187 of the collar 180 is adapted to receive the first flange 315 of the sleeve 300. The first diameter 245 of the opening 244 of the arm 240 is adapted to receive the outer diameter 307 of the sleeve 300, and the protrusion 247 of the arm 240 is adapted to receive the second flange 316.

[0035] The sleeve 300 may be formed of a flexible engineering material, including but not limited to nylon, Teflon, ABS, etc. In some example configurations, the edges of the slit 310 (e.g., the first edge 311 or the second edge 312) may be deflected toward the center of the sleeve 300, such that the outer diameter 307 can be reduced to mount the sleeve 300 inside a hollow object (e.g., inside the opening 184 of the collar 180, inside the opening 244 of the arm 240), as will be clear in the following sections.

[0036] Figure 8 It is based on the example configuration of this disclosure. Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional side view of the joint between the arm 240 and the rod 140 of the display mounting device 100. A collar 180 may be positioned below a first portion 242 of the arm 240 such that a fifth axis 1411 coincides with a sixth axis 1412. A first arm surface 248 may face a second collar surface 182. A washer 320 may be located between the first arm surface 248 and the second collar surface 182. A sleeve 300 may be at least partially located inside the opening 244 of the arm 240 and the opening 184 of the collar 180. A first flange 315 of the sleeve 300 may engage a recess 187 of the collar 180, and a second flange 316 of the sleeve 300 may engage a protrusion 247 of the arm 240. The sleeve 300 may be configured to connect the arm 240 and the collar 180 to form a joining assembly 350.

[0037] The rod 140 can be inserted through the engagement assembly 350 (e.g., through the arm 240, sleeve 300, and collar 180). The fifth axis 1411, sixth axis 1412, and seventh axis 1413 can coincide with the first axis 141. The engagement assembly 350 can be configured to slide along the rod 140 parallel to the first axis 141. The engagement assembly 350 allows the arm 240 to rotate independently of the collar 180 about the first axis 141.

[0038] Knob 175 can be threadedly engaged with collar 180 (e.g., the threaded shaft 177 of knob 175 can be threadedly engaged with the threaded hole 189 of collar 180). A user of display mounting device 100 can tighten knob 175 (e.g., rotate knob 175 in a first direction relative to collar 180) such that protrusion 178 can press against rod 140 to place collar 180 in a fixed configuration, and a user of display mounting device 100 can loosen knob 175 (e.g., rotate knob 175 in a second direction opposite to the first direction relative to collar 180) such that protrusion 178 can disengage from rod 140 to place collar 180 in a movable configuration. In the fixed configuration, collar 180 can be stationary relative to rod 140 (e.g., the collar cannot translate relative to rod 140 along a first axis 141) to hold arm assembly 200 at a desired height relative to rod 140. In a movable configuration, the collar 180 is movable relative to the rod 140, allowing the arm assembly 200 to translate relative to the rod 140 along a first axis 141. In the movable configuration, the collar 180 can move simultaneously with the arm 240 when a user of the display mounting device 100 translates the arm in a direction parallel to the first axis 141. In any configuration of the collar 180 (e.g., in a fixed or movable configuration), the arm 240 can rotate independently of the collar 180 about the first axis 141.
