The various concepts introduced above and discussed in greater detail below may be implemented in any of a number of ways, as the described concepts are not limited to any particular manner of implementation. Examples of specific implementations and applications are provided primarily for illustrative purposes.I. Overview

[0036] A display mounting system may be utilized to mount multiple displays to a wall to form a composite display wall out of the displays. For example, the display mounting system may include mounting members configured to be attached to a wall and the displays may be mounted onto each of the mounting members to form the composite display wall. However, if a distance between the mounting members is incorrect, an image formed by the composite display wall maybe distorted. For example, if a distance between the mounting members is larger than a prescribed distance corresponding to the displays, the image formed by the composite display wall may include gaps between the displays forming the composite display wall. As another example, if a distance between the mounting members is smaller than the prescribed distance corresponding to the displays, the displays forming the composite display wall may overlap each other, obstructing portions of the image formed by the composite display wall.

[0037] Additionally, the display mounting system may be configured to mount displays of multiple sizes to a wall to form composite display walls out of the displays. However, when displays of different sizes are used to form different composite display walls, prescribed distance between the mounting members may be different. For example, when the display mounting system is utilized to form a first composite display wall using first displays, a prescribed distance between the mounting members may be different from when the display mounting system is utilized to form a second composite display walls using second displays. In some instances, the display mounting system may be utilized to mount displays where the prescribed distance between the mounting members corresponding to the displays is unknown.

[0038] Implementation herein are related to an adjustable spacer system of the display mounting system that is configured to accurately position the mounting members in order to accurately accept the displays to form the composite display wall. For example, during assembly of the composite display wall, a first of the mounting members may be mounted on a wall. The adjustable spacer system may be coupled to the first of the mounting members and a second of the mounting members to accurately space the second of the mounting members from the first of the mounting members prior to mounting the second of the mounting members to ensure accurate spacing between the mounting members. As a result of the accurate spacing between the mounting members, displays mounted on the mounting members may be accurately spaced to from the composite video display. Additionally, the adjustable spacer system is configured to adjust for different sized displays. For example, the adjustable spacer system may be adjustable to space the mounting members different distances apart based on the size of the display being utilized to form the composite display walls. In some embodiments, the adjustable spacer system is configured to determine the distance between the mounting members when the prescribeddistance between the mounting members corresponding to displays being utilized to form the composite display wall is unknown.II. Overview of Example Display Mounting Systems|0039] Fig. 1 depicts a display mounting system 100 (e.g., a universal LED mounting system, etc.) for mounting multiple displays 102 (e.g., LED displays, televisions, etc ). The display mounting system 100 includes a plurality of mounting members 104 (e.g., mounting frames, mounting rails, etc.) configured to couple the displays 102 to a surface (e.g., a wall, a substantially vertical surface, etc.) to form a composite display wall (e.g., a video wall, a display wall, etc.). For example, the mounting members 104 may be arranged on a wall and the displays 102 may be coupled to the mounting members 104 such that images formed on the displays 102 form a composite image. The mounting members 104 spaced distances apart based on sizes of the displays 102. For example, when the composite display wall is formed from a first of the displays 102 with a first size, the mounting members 104 may be spaced apart by a first distance based on the first size and when the composite display wall is formed from a second of the displays 102 with a second size, the mounting members 104 may be spaced apart by a second distance based on the second size.[0040| The display mounting system 100 includes an adjustable spacer system 120 (e.g., a spacer system, a display spacing system, an adjustable spacer assembly, etc.) configured to be utilized when arranging the mounting members 104 on a surface to accurate position the mounting members 104 such that the displays 102 may be coupled to the mounting members 104 to accurately form a composite display wall from the displays 102. For example, the adjustable spacer system 120 may be utilized while forming the composite display wall to position a first of the mounting members 104 relative to a second of the mounting members 104 such that a first of the displays 102 coupled to the first of the mounting members 104 is accurately positioned relative to a second of the displays 102 coupled to the second of the mounting members 104.[0041 | The adjustable spacer system 120 is configured to vertically space apart the mounting members 104 according to a prescribed distance (e.g., a prescribed spacing, a predetermined spacing, a predetermined distance, etc.) corresponding to a height of the displays 102. Forexample, the adjustable spacer system 120 may space apart the mounting members 104 in a vertical direction according to a first prescribed distance corresponding to a first height of a first plurality of the displays 102 when the composite display wall includes the first plurality of the displays 102 or according to a second prescribed distance corresponding to a second height of a second plurality of the displays 102 when the composite display wall includes the second plurality of the displays 102.

[0042] In some embodiments, the adjustable spacer system 120 is configured to determine a prescribed distance corresponding to the height of the displays 102 when the prescribed distance for the displays 102 is unknown. For example, the adjustable spacer system 120 may be utilized to gauge the displays 102 in order to determine the prescribed distance corresponding to the height of the displays 102 based on the height of the displays 102. Once the prescribed distance corresponding to the displays 102 has been determined, the mounting members 104 may be spaced apart according to the prescribed distance in order to accurately form the composite display wall including the displays 102.II. Example Adjustable Spacer Systems a) Example Channel Adjustable Spacer Systems

[0043] According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2-8, the adjustable spacer system 120 is configured as a channel adjustable spacer system 200 (e.g., a channel adjustable spacer assembly, etc.). The channel adjustable spacer system 200 includes a channel member 202 (e.g., a channel body, an elongate body, an elongate member, etc.) having a first end 204 (e.g., an upper end, etc.) and a second end 206 (e.g., a lower end, etc.) opposite the first end 204. The channel member 202 includes a channel body 208 extending along a length of the channel member 202. The channel member 202 includes a pair of channel flanges 210 extending from opposing sides of the channel body 208. The channel flanges 210 extend along the length of the channel member 202. In some embodiments, the channel flanges 210 extend from the first end 204 to the second end 206. The channel body 208 and the channel flanges 210 collectively define a channel 212 extending along the length of the channel member 202.

[0044] According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3-8, the channel body 208 defines a plurality of channel body slots 214 (e.g., first slots, etc.) extending through the channel body 208. Each of the channel body slots 214 extend along a portion of the length of the channel member 202. For example, a first of the channel body slots 214 may extend along an upper portion of the length of the channel member 202 and a second of the channel body slots 214 may extend along a lower portion of the length of the channel member 202. In other embodiments, the channel body 208 defines a single of the channel body slots 214 extending along the length of the channel member 202. The channel body slots 214 may be centered across a width of the channel body 208. For example, the channel body slots 214 may be centered between a first of the channel flanges 210 extending from a first side of the channel body 208 and a second of the channel flanges 210 extending from a second side of the channel body 208, the second side opposite the first side.

[0045] The channel body 208 defines a plurality of alignment aperture pairs 216 (e.g., pairs of apertures, a plurality of alignment apertures, etc.) extending through the channel body 208. Each of the alignment aperture pairs 216 include a first alignment aperture on the first side of the channel body 208 and a second alignment aperture on the second side of the channel body 208. For example, each of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may include a first alignment aperture on a first side of the channel body slots 214 and a second alignment aperture on a second side of the channel body slots 214, the second side opposite the first side.

[0046] The alignment aperture pairs 216 are spaced along the length of the channel member 202. The position of the alignment aperture pairs 216 along the length of the channel members 202 may be associated with prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 corresponding to different display heights of the displays 102 and / or different sizes of the mounting members 104. For example, a first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 positioned towards the first end 204 may be associated with a first prescribed distance between the mounting members 104 corresponding to first of the displays 102 with a first display height and a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 positioned towards the second end 206 may be associated with a second prescribed distance corresponding to second of the displays 102 with a second display height. The second prescribed distance may be greater than the first prescribeddistance when the first display height of the first of the displays 102 is greater than the second display height of the second of the displays 102. The alignment aperture pairs 216 positioned between the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may each be associated with prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 that are between the first prescribed distance associated with the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and the second prescribed distance associated with the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 that corresponds with different display heights of the displays 102 between the first display height of the first of the displays 102 and the second display height of the second of the displays 102.[0047| The channel body 208 includes an aperture pair label 218 associated with each of the alignment aperture pairs 216. The aperture pair labels 218 may identify different sizes of the mounting members 104 that correspond with each of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and / or different display heights of the displays 102 that correspond with each of the alignment aperture pairs 216.[0048| For example, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 proximate the first end 204 may be “30” to identity that the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 proximate the first end 204 corresponds a first size of the mounting members 104, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 adjacent to the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may be “60” to identify that the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 corresponds to a second size of the mounting members 104, and the aperture pair label 218 associated with a third of the alignment pairs 216 adjacent to the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may be “120” to identify that the third of the alignment aperture pairs 216 corresponds to a third size of the mounting members.|0049] As another example, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 proximate the second end 206 may be “540” to identify that the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 correspond to a first display height of the displays 102 (e.g., to a display height of 540 mm, etc.), the aperture pair label 218 associated with a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 adjacent to the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may be“500” to identify that the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 correspond to a second display height of the displays 102 (e.g., to a display height of 500 mm, etc.), and the aperture pair label 218 associated with a third of the alignment aperture pairs 216 adjacent to the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may be “480” to identify that the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 correspond to a third display height of the displays 102 (e.g., to a display height of 480 mm, etc.).

[0050] The aperture pair labels 218 may generally increase in value moving along the length of the channel member 202 in a direction from the first end 204 towards the second end 206. For example, after one of the aperture pair label 218 of “0” associated with the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 in the direction from the first end 204 towards the second end 206 may be “30”. According to the example embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the aperture pair labels 218 in the direction from the first end 204 towards the second end 206 may be “0”, “30”, “60”, “120”, “240”, “250”, “270”, “288”, “300”, “342”, “340.1”, “337.5”, “343”, “400”, “450”, “480”, “500”, and “540”. In other embodiments, the aperture pair labels 218 may include other labels corresponding to each of the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair labels 218.|0051] In some embodiments, at least one of the aperture pair labels 218 corresponds to a calibration configuration of the channel adjustable spacer system 200. For example, the aperture pair label 218 of “0” associated with the alignment aperture pairs 216 adjacent to the first end 204 of the channel member 202 may indicate that the alignment aperture pairs 216 adjacent to the first end 204 may be associated with the calibration configuration of the channel adjustable spacer system 200.|0052] According to the example embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the alignment aperture pairs 216 include at least one alignment aperture pair 216 spaced apart a first distance di and at least one alignment aperture pair 216 spaced apart a second distance d2, the first distance di different from the second distance d2. For example, the apertures of a first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “343” (e.g., corresponding to adisplay height of 343 mm, etc.) may be spaced apart by the first distance di and the apertures of a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “342” (e.g., corresponding to a display height of 342 mm, etc.) may be spaced apart by the second distance d2. By spacing the apertures of the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and the apertures of the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 different distances apart, the apertures of the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may not overlap the apertures of the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216. In some embodiments, the alignment aperture pairs 216 include at least one alignment aperture pair 216 spaced apart a third distance d3, the third distance ds different from the first distance di and the second distance d2. For example, the apertures of a third of the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “340.1” (e.g., corresponding to a display height of 340.1 mm, etc.) may be spaced apart by the third distance ds. By spacing the apertures of the third of the alignment aperture pairs 216 a different distance from the first distance di of the aperture of the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and from the second distance d2 of the aperture of the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216, the apertures of the third of the alignment aperture pairs 216 may not overlap with the apertures of the first of the alignment aperture pairs 216 or the apertures of the second of the alignment aperture pairs 216.

[0053] The channel member 202 defines a plurality of mounting apertures 220 extending through the second end 206 of the channel member 202. According to some embodiments, the mounting apertures 220 extend through each of the channel flanges 210 proximate the second end 206 of the channel member 202. For example, the channel member 202 may define a first and a second of the mounting apertures 220 extending through a first of the channel flanges 210 proximate the second end 206 and a third and a fourth of the mounting apertures 220 extending through a second of the channel flanges 210 proximate the second end 206. In other embodiments, the mounting apertures 220 extend through the channel body 208 proximate the second end 206 of the channel member 202.|0054[ The channel adjustable spacer system 200 includes an upper stop bracket 230 (e.g., a first stationary bracket, etc.) removably coupled to the channel member 202. A portion of the upper stop bracket 230 may be received within the channel 212 of the channel member 202. The upperstop bracket 230 includes an upper stop bracket body 232. The upper stop bracket body 232 may be received within the channel 212. The upper stop bracket 230 includes a pair of upper stop bracket flanges 234 extending from opposing sides of the upper stop bracket body 232. The upper stop bracket flanges 234 may interface with the channel flanges 210 to position (e.g., center, etc.) the portion of the upper stop bracket 230 within the channel 212.[O055| The upper stop bracket 230 defines a plurality of first upper slot apertures 236 extending through the upper stop bracket body 232. The first upper slot apertures 236 are configured to selectively align with at least one of the channel body slots 214 of the channel member 202 to receive first upper slot fasteners 238 (e.g., screws, pins, first fasteners, etc.) to slidably couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202. For example, the first upper slot apertures 236 may define threads and the first upper slot fasteners 238 may extend through one of the channel body slots 214 and engage the threads of the first upper slot apertures 236 to slidably couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202.10056] The upper stop bracket 230 defines a plurality of upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 extending through the upper stop bracket body 232. The upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 are configured to selectively align with the alignment aperture pairs 216 to receive upper alignment pins 242 to couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202 at different positions along the length of the channel member 202 (e.g., to inhibit movement of the upper stop bracket 230 along the length of the channel member 202, etc.). For example, the apertures of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 may define threads and the upper alignment pins 242 may engage the threads of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240. The upper stop bracket 230 may be slid along the length of the channel member 202 until the upper alignment pins 242 align with one of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and are received by the one of the alignment aperture pairs 216 such that the upper stop bracket 230 is positioned in a position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the one of the alignment aperture pairs 216. The first upper slot fasteners 238 may be tightened against the channel member 202 to selectively prevent the upper stop bracket 230 from sliding relative to the channel member 202 (e.g., prevent the upper stop bracket 230 from moving from the position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the one of the alignment aperturepairs 216, prevent the upper alignment pins 242 from being removed from the one of the alignment aperture pairs 216, etc.).| 057] According to an example embodiment, the upper stop bracket 230 defines a first of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 spaced apart the first distance di and a second of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 spaced apart the second distance d2. The first of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 are configured to selectively align with the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the first distance di to receive the upper alignment pins 242 to couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202 at positions along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the first distance di. The second of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 are configured to selectively align with the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the second distance ds to receive the upper alignment pins 242 to couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202 at positions along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the second distance d2. The upper alignment pins 242 may be disengaged from the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 when the upper stop bracket 230 are moved along the length of the channel member 202 and / or when the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 are alternated between aligning with the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the first distance di and the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the second distance d2. In some embodiments, the upper stop bracket 230 defines a third of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 spaced apart the third distance d.. The third of the upper stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 240 are configured to selectively align with the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the third distance ds to receive the upper alignment pins 242 to couple the upper stop bracket 230 to the channel member 202 at positions along the channel member 202 corresponding to the alignment aperture pairs 216 spaced apart the ds.[00581 The upper stop bracket flanges 234 define upper receiving edges 244 on a first side of the upper stop bracket flanges 234. The upper receiving edges 244 are configured to interface with (e.g., receive, contact, etc.) the mounting members 104 when the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is being utilized to align the mounting members 104 for mounting. The upperreceiving edges 244 of the upper stop bracket 230 may be positioned on an upper side of the upper stop bracket flanges 234.[0059[ The upper stop bracket flanges 234 define upper caliper edges 246 (e.g., measuring ledges, etc.) on a second side of the upper stop bracket flanges 234, the second side opposite the first side. For example, the upper caliper edges 246 may be defined on an opposite side of the upper stop bracket flanges 234 as the upper receiving edges 244. The upper caliper edges 246 are configured to interface with the displays 102 when the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is being utilized to measure the displays 102 to determine a display height of the displays.

For example, the apertures of the lower stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 280 may define threads and the lower alignment pins 282 may engage the threads of the lower stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 280. The lower stop bracket 270 may be slid along the length of the channel member 202 until the lower alignment pins 282 align with one of the alignment aperture pairs 216 and are received by the one of the alignment aperture pairs 216 such that the lower stop bracket 270 is positioned in a position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the one of the alignment aperture pairs 216.

[0069] The lower stop bracket flanges 274 define lower caliper edges 286 (e.g., measuring ledges, etc.) on a second side of the lower stop bracket flanges 274, the second side opposite the first side. For example, the lower caliper edges 286 may be defined on an opposite side of the lower stop bracket flanges 274 as the lower receiving edges 284.

The lower clamp bracket 290 may be coupled to the channel member 202 below the lower stop bracket 270. For example, the lower clamp bracket 290 may be coupled the channel member 202 between the lower stop bracket 270 and the second end 206 of the channel member 202.|(M)71 ] The lower clamp bracket 290 defines a second lower slot aperture 296 extending through the lower clamp bracket body 292. The second lower slot aperture 296 is configured to selectively align with at least one of the channel body slots 214 of the channel member 202 to receive a second lower slot fastener 298 to slidably couple the lower clamp bracket 290 to the channel member 202 such that a distance between the lower clamp bracket 290 and the lower stop bracket 270 is variable.

According to the example embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second lower slot fastener 298 includes a lower slot fastener handle 300 configured to be grasped by an operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200. The operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may grasp the lower slot fastener handle 300 to rotate the second lower slot fastener 298 to tighten the second lower slot fastener 298 against the channel member 202 such that the lower clamp bracket 290 is inhibited from sliding relative to the channel member 202.[00721 The lower clamp bracket flanges 294 define lower clamping edges 302 on a side of the lower clamp bracket flanges 294. The lower clamping edges 302 are configured to interface with (e.g., contact, etc.) one of the mounting members 104 (e.g., a lower of the mounting members 104, etc.) when the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is being utilized to align the mounting members 104 for mounting such that the mounting members 104 are positioned between the lower clamping edges 302 of the lower clamp bracket 290 and the lower receiving edges 284 of the lower stop bracket 270 to releasably couple the one of the mounting members 104 to the channel adjustable spacer system 200. The lower clamping edges 302 include a lower engagement tooth 304 configured to engage the mounting members 104 when the mounting members 104 are positioned between the lower clamping edges 302 of the lower clamp bracket 290 and the lower receiving edges 284 of the lower stop bracket 270 to secure the mounting members 104 to the channel adjustable spacer system 200. For example, when the lower engagement tooth 304 engages the mounting members 104, the lower engagement tooth 304 may prevent movement of the mounting members 104 in a direction away from the channel member 202.[0073| In operation, a first of the mounting members 104 is initially mounted on a surface. In order to mount a second of the mounting members 104 below the second of the mounting members 104 with the proper spacing, the display height of the displays 102 may be utilized. When the display height of the displays 102 is known and corresponds to one of the aperture pair labels 218, the upper stop bracket 230 may be slid along the channel member 202 to align theupper alignment pins 242 with the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with one of the aperture pair labels 218 corresponding to a size of the mounting members 104 (e.g., the aperture pair label 218 of “30, “60”, or “120” based on the size of the mounting members 104, etc.) to position the upper stop bracket 230 at a first position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the size of the mounting members 104. The upper receiving edges 244 of the upper stop bracket 230 may interface with the first of the mounting members 104 and the upper clamp bracket 250 may be slid downwards towards the upper stop bracket 230 until the first of the mounting members 104 is positioned between the upper receiving edges 244 and the upper clamping edges 262 and the upper engagement tooth 264 engages the first of the mounting members 104 such that the first of the mounting members 104 is coupled to the channel adjustable spacer system 200. The operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may tighten the second upper slot fastener 258 of the upper clamp bracket 250 using the upper slot fastener handle 260 to secure the first of the mounting members 104 between the upper stop bracket 230 and the upper clamp bracket 250.[0074| The lower stop bracket 270 may be slid along the channel member 202 to align the lower alignment pins 282 of the lower stop bracket 270 with the alignment aperture pairs 216 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 to position the lower stop bracket 270 at a second position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102. For example, if the display height of the displays 102 is 270 mm, the lower alignment pins 282 of the lower stop bracket 270 may align with the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “270” to position lower stop bracket 270 at a second position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102. The lower receiving edges 284 of the lower stop bracket 270 may interface with the second of the mounting members 104 and the lower clamp bracket 290 may be slid upwards towards the lower stop bracket 270 until the second of the mounting members 104 is positioned between the lower receiving edges 284 and the lower clamping edges 302 and the lower engagement tooth 304 engages the second of the mounting members 104 such that the second of the mounting members 104 is coupled to the channel adjustable spacer system 200 and is positioned the prescribed distance from the first of the mounting members 104. The operatorof the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may tighten the second lower slot fastener 298 of the lower clamp bracket 290 using the lower slot fastener handle 300 to secure the second of the mounting members 104 between the lower stop bracket 270 and the lower clamp bracket 290 and mount the second of the mounting members 104 to the surface such that the second of the mounting members 104 is mounted to the surface the prescribed distance from the first of the mounting members 104. The operator may release the channel adjustable spacer system 200 from the first and the second of the mounting members 104 and mount the displays 102 on the mounting members 104 to form the composite display wall.

[0075] When the display height of the displays 102 is unknown, the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may be utilized to measure the display height of the displays 102 so that the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may be utilized to space apart the mounting members 104 the prescribed distance based on the display height of the displays 102. To determine the display height of the displays 102, the upper clamp bracket 250 may be removed from the channel member 202 and the upper stop bracket 230 may be slid along the channel member 202 to align the upper alignment pins 242 with the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “0” (e.g., the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the calibration configuration of the channel adjustable spacer system 200, etc.) to position the upper stop bracket 230 at a first position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the aperture pair label 218 of “0”.

[0076] In some embodiments, the upper caliper edges 246 may be positioned on a top surface of one of the displays 102. The lower stop bracket 270 may be slid along the channel member 202 towards the upper stop bracket 230 until the lower caliper edges 286 contact a lower surface of the one of the displays 102 at a second position along the length of the channel member 202. In other embodiments, the upper caliper edges 246 may be positioned at a first position along a measuring device (e.g., a ruler, a tape measure, etc.) corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 (e.g., after the measuring device has previously been utilized to measure the display height, etc.). The lower stop bracket 270 may be slid along the channel member 202 towards the upper stop bracket 230 until the lower caliper edges 286 reach a second position along the measuring device corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 such that a distancebetween the upper caliper edges 246 and the lower caliper edges 286 is equal to the display height of the displays 102.|0077] The lower stop bracket 270 may be coupled to the channel member 202 at the second position along the length of the channel member 202, the upper stop bracket 230 may be slid along the channel member 202 to align the upper alignment pins 242 with the alignment aperture pairs 216 associated with the aperture pair label 218 corresponding to the size of the mounting members 104 to position the upper stop bracket 230 at a third position along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the aperture pair label 218 associated with the size of the mounting members 104, and the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may be used to align the mounting members 104 as described above with the upper stop bracket 230 in the third position along the length of the channel member 202 and the lower stop bracket 270 in the second position along the length of the channel member 202.|0078] As shown in FIG. 8, the channel adjustable spacer system 200 includes an extension channel member 310 (e.g., an extension elongate body, etc.) configured to be removably coupled to the channel member 202. The extension channel member 310 may be coupled to the channel member 202 when the display height of the displays 102 is greater than a maximum display height corresponding to the aperture pair labels 218. The extension channel member 310 has a first end 312 (e.g., an upper end, etc.) and a second end 314 (e.g., a lower end, etc.) opposite the first end 312. The extension channel member 310 includes an extension channel body 316 extending along a length of the extension channel member 310. The extension channel member 310 includes a pair of extension channel flanges 318 extending from opposing sides of the extension channel body 316. The extension channel body 316 and the extension channel flanges 318 collectively define an extension channel 320 extending along the length of the extension channel member 310.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 8, the extension channel member 310 defines a plurality of extension channel body slots 322 (e.g., second slots, etc.) extending through the extension channel body 316. Each of the extension channel body slots 322 extend along a portion of the length of the extension channel member 310. For example, a first of the extension channel body slots 322 mayextend along an upper portion of the length of the extension channel member 310 and a second of the extension channel body slots 322 may extend along a lower portion of the length of the extension channel member 310. In other embodiments, the extension channel body 316 defines a single of the extension channel body slots 322 extending along the length of the extension channel member 310. The extension channel body slots 322 may be centered across a width of the extension channel member 310. For example, the extension channel body slots 322 may be centered between a first of the extension channel flanges 318 extending from a first side of the extension channel body 316 and a second of the extension channel flanges 318 extending from a second side of the extension channel body 316, the second side opposite the first side.[0080| The extension channel body 316 defines a plurality of extension alignment aperture pairs 324 (e.g., pairs of apertures, a plurality of alignment apertures, etc.) extending through the extension channel body 316. Each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 include a first alignment aperture on the first side of the extension channel body 316 and a second alignment aperture on the second side of the extension channel body 316. For example, each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 may include a first alignment aperture on a first side of the extension channel body slots 322 and a second alignment aperture on a second side of the extension channel body slots 322, the second side opposite the first side.|O081] The extension alignment aperture pairs 324 are spaced along the length of the extension channel member 310. The position of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 along the length of the extension channel member 310 may be associated with prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 corresponding to different display heights of the displays 102 that are greater than the display heights of the displays 102 corresponding to the alignment aperture pairs 216 of the channel member 202. The extension alignment aperture pairs 324 includes one of the aperture pair labels 218 associated with each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324. The aperture pair labels 218 may identify different display heights of the displays 102 that correspond with each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 that are greater than the display heights of the displays 102 that correspond with each of the alignment aperture pairs 216. For example, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a first of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 proximate the first end 312 of the extension channelmember 310 may be “576” to identify that the first of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 corresponds to a display height of 576 mm.| 082] The aperture pair labels 218 may generally increase in value moving along the length of the extension channel member 310 in the direction from the first end 312 towards the second end 314. For example, after the aperture pair label 218 of “576” associated with the first of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324, the aperture pair label 218 associated with a second of the alignment aperture pairs 216 in the direction from the first end 312 towards the second end 314 may be “609.7” to identify that the second of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 corresponds to a display height of 609.7 mm. According to the example embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 in the direction from the first end 312 towards the second end 314 may be “576”, “609.7”, “608”, “600”, “604.7”, “610”, “640”, “684”, “675”, “680.2”, “686”, “750”, “800”, “810”, “900”, “960”, and “1000” to indicate the display height in millimeters corresponding to each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 associated with the aperture pair labels 218. In other embodiments, the aperture pair label 218 may include other labels to indicate the display heights corresponding to each of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 associated with the aperture pair label 218.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 8, the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 include at least one extension alignment aperture pair 324 spaced apart a first distance di and at least one extension alignment aperture pair 324 spaced apart a second distance d2, the first distance di different from the second distance d2. By spacing the apertures of the first of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 and the apertures of the second of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 different distances apart, the apertures of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 may not overlap the apertures of the first of the extension alignment aperture pairs 324. In some embodiments, the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 include at least one extension alignment aperture pair 324 spaced apart a third distance da, the third distance da different from the first distance di and the second distance d2.

[0084] The extension channel member 310 defines a plurality of coupling apertures 326 extending through the first end 312 of the extension channel member 310. For example, theextension channel member 310 may define a first and a second of the coupling apertures 326 extending through a first of the extension channel flanges 318 proximate the first end 312 and a third and a fourth of the coupling apertures 326 extending through a second of the extension channel flanges 318 proximate the first end 312. In other embodiments, the coupling apertures 326 extend through the second end 314 proximate the first end 312 of the extension channel member 310. The coupling apertures 326 are configured to align with the mounting apertures 220 of the channel member 202 to receive coupling fasteners 328 to removably couple the extension channel member 310 to the channel member 202.

[0085] When the display height of the displays 102 is greater than each of the display heights corresponding to the alignment aperture pairs 216, the operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may couple the extension channel member 310 to the channel member 202 (e.g., via the coupling fasteners 328, etc.). The operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may couple the first of the mounting members 104 mounted to a surface to the channel adjustable spacer system 200 between the upper stop bracket 230 and the upper clamp bracket 250 as described above.

[0086] The lower stop bracket 270 may be slidably coupled to the extension channel member 310 by aligning the first lower slot apertures 276 with one of the extension channel body slots 322 to receive the first lower slot fasteners 278 to slidably couple the lower stop bracket 270 to the extension channel member 310 such that a distance between the lower stop bracket 270 and the upper stop bracket 230 is increased comparted to when the lower stop bracket 270 is slidably coupled to the channel member 202. The lower stop bracket 270 may be slid along the extension channel member 310 to align the lower alignment pins 282 of the lower stop bracket 270 with the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 to position the lower stop bracket 270 at a position along the length of the extension channel member 310 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102. For example, if the display height of the displays 102 is 680.2 mm, the lower alignment pins 282 of the lower stop bracket 270 may align with the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 associated with the aperture pair label 218 of “680.2” to position lower stop bracket 270 at a position along the length of the extension channel member 310 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102. The lowerreceiving edges 284 of the lower stop bracket 270 may interface with the second of the mounting members 104.(0087] The lower clamp bracket 290 may be slidably coupled to the extension channel member 310 by aligning the second lower slot aperture 296 with one of the extension channel body slots 322 to receive the second lower slot fastener 298 to slidably couple the lower clamp bracket 290 to the extension channel member 310. The lower clamp bracket 290 may be slid upwards towards the lower stop bracket 270 until the second of the mounting members 104 is positioned between the lower receiving edges 284 and the lower clamping edges 302 and the lower engagement tooth 304 engages the second of the mounting members 104 such that the second of the mounting members 104 is coupled to the extension channel member 310 and is positioned the prescribed distance from the first of the mounting members 104. The operator of the channel adjustable spacer system 200 may tighten the second lower slot fastener 298 of the lower clamp bracket 290 using the lower slot fastener handle 300 to secure the second of the mounting members 104 between the lower stop bracket 270 and the lower clamp bracket 290 and mount the second of the mounting members 104 to the surface such that the second of the mounting members 104 is mounted to the surface the prescribed distance from the first of the mounting members 104. The operator may release the channel adjustable spacer system 200 from the first and the second of the mounting members 104 and mount the displays 102 on the mounting members 104 to form the composite display wall. b) Example Fixed Upper Stop Bracket Channel Adjustable Spacer Systems[0088| According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 18-25, the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is configured as a fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330. In the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330, the upper stop bracket 230 is fixedly coupled to the first end 204 of the channel member 202. According to an example embodiment, the channel member 202 and the upper stop bracket 230 are integrally formed (e.g., formed from a single piece of sheet metal, etc.). When the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is configured as the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330, the upper receiving edges 244 and the upper caliper edges 246 of the upper stop bracket 230 may be on asame side of the upper stop bracket flanges 234 and / or the lower receiving edges 284 and the lower caliper edges 286 of the lower stop bracket 270 may be on a same side of the lower stop bracket flanges 274.

[0089] According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 18-25, when the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is configured as the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330, the alignment aperture pairs 216 are configured as a plurality of alignment slots 332 extending along a portion of the length of the channel member 202. The lower stop bracket 270 is configured to be slidably coupled to the channel member 202 via the alignment slots 332. The lower stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 280 aligns with the alignment slots 332 to receive alignment slot fasteners 334 to slidably couple the lower stop bracket 270 to the channel member 202. The aperture pair labels 218 indicate positions of the lower stop bracket 270 along the alignment slots 332 that correspond with the different display heights of the displays 102. For example, the aperture pair labels 218 may be lines across the width of the channel member 202 corresponding to the different display heights of the displays 102. An operator of the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330 may slide the lower stop bracket 270 along the alignment slots 332 to position the lower stop bracket 270 in positions along the length of the channel member 202 corresponding to the display heights by aligning the lower stop bracket 270 with the aperture pair label 218 associated with the display heights. The operator may tighten the alignment slot fasteners 334 against the channel member 202 to retain the lower stop bracket 270 in the positions corresponding to the display heights.

[0090] When the channel adjustable spacer system 200 is configured as the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330, the extension alignment aperture pairs 324 are configured as a plurality of extension alignment slots 336 extending along a portion of a length of the extension channel member 310. The lower stop bracket 270 is configured to be slidably coupled to the extension channel member 310 via the extension alignment slots 336. The lower stop bracket alignment aperture pairs 280 aligns with the extension alignment slots 336 to receive the alignment slot fasteners 334 to slidably couple the lower stop bracket 270 to the extension channel member 310. The aperture pair labels 218 indicate positions of the lower stop bracket 270 along the extension alignment slots 336 that correspond with the different display heights ofthe displays 102. An operator of the fixed upper stop bracket channel adjustable spacer system 330 may slide the lower stop bracket 270 along the extension alignment slots 336 to position the lower stop bracket 270 in positions along the length of the extension channel member 310 corresponding to the display heights by aligning the lower stop bracket 270 with the aperture pair label 218 associated with the display heights. The operator may tighten the alignment slot fasteners 334 against the extension channel member 310 to retain the lower stop bracket 270 in the positions corresponding to the display heights. c) Example Extruded Adjustable Spacer Systems|009.1I According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9-17, the adjustable spacer system 120 is configured as an extruded adjustable spacer system 400. The extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes an extrusion member 402 (e.g., an extrusion body, an elongate body, an elongate member, etc.) having a first end 404 and a second end 406 opposite the first end 204. The extrusion member 402 defines an inner slot 408 extending partially into the extrusion member 402 from an inward side of the extrusion member 402. The inner slot 408 extends along a length of the extrusion member 402 from the first end 404 to the second end 406. The inner slot 408 includes an inner slot opening 410 extending through an inside surface of the extrusion member 402.10092] As shown in FIG. 12, the extrusion member 402 includes inner slot angled surfaces 412 (e.g., inner slot chamfered surfaces, etc.) that define portions of the inner slot 408. The inner slot angled surfaces 412 extend inward from the inward side of the extrusion member 402 and outward towards lateral sides of the extrusion member 402. For example, the extrusion member 402 may include a first of the inner slot angled surfaces 412 extending from the inner slot opening 410 in a first direction that is oriented inward from the inner slot opening 410 and outward towards a first lateral side of the extrusion member 402 and a second of the inner slot angled surfaces 412 extending from the inner slot opening 410 in a second direction that is oriented inward from the inner slot opening 410 and outwards towards a second lateral side of the extrusion member 402, the second lateral side opposite the first lateral side.

[0093] The extrusion member 402 defines an outer slot 420 extending partially into the extrusion member 402 from an outward side of the extrusion member 402 opposite the inward side of the extrusion member 402. The outer slot 420 extends along the length of the extrusion member 402 from the first end 404 to the second end 406. The outer slot 420 includes an outer slot opening 422 extending through an outside surface of the extrusion member 402. The extrusion member 402 defines a plurality of mounting slots 424 extending partially into the extrusion member 402 from the inward side of the extrusion member 402. The mounting slots 424 extend along the length of the extrusion member 402 from the first end 404 to the second end 406.

[0094] The extrusion member 402 defines a plurality of side slots 430 extending partially into the extrusion member 402 from lateral sides of the extrusion member 402. The lateral sides of the extrusion member 402 may be oriented substantially perpendicular to the inward side of the extrusion member 402 and the outward side of the extrusion member 402 and / or extend between the inward side of the extrusion member 402 and the outward side of the extrusion member 402. In some embodiments, the extrusion member 402 defines a first of the side slots 430 extending into the extrusion member 402 from a first lateral side of the extrusion member 402 and a second of the side slots 430 extending into the extrusion member 402 from a second lateral side of the extrusion member 402, the second lateral side opposite the first lateral side. The side slots 430 extend along the length of the extrusion member 402 from the first end 404 to the second end 406. The side slots 430 include side slot openings 432 extending through lateral surfaces of the extrusion member 402.

[0095] As shown in FIG. 12, the extrusion member 402 includes side slot angled surfaces 434 (e.g., side slot chamfered surfaces, etc.) that define portions of the side slots 430. The side slot angled surfaces 434 extend inward from the lateral sides of the extrusion member 402 and towards the inner side or the outer side of the extrusion member 402. For example, the extrusion member 402 may include a first of the side slot angled surfaces 434 extending from a first of the side slot openings 432 in a first direction that is oriented inward from the side slot openings 432 and towards the inner side of the extrusion member 402 and a second of the side slot angled surfaces 434 extending from the first of the side slot openings 432 in a second direction that isoriented inward from the side slot openings 432 and towards the outer side of the extrusion member 402.|0096[ The extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a plurality of alignment members 440 coupled to the extrusion member 402. For example, a first of the alignment members 440 may be coupled on a first side of the inner side of the extrusion member 402 and a second of the alignment members 440 may be coupled on a second side of the inner side of the extrusion member 402, the second side of the inner side opposite the first side of the inner side. In other embodiments, the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a single of the alignment members 440.

[0097] The alignment members 440 define a plurality of alignment openings 442 along lengths of the alignment members 440. The position of the alignment openings 442 along the alignment members 440 is associated with prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 corresponding to different display heights of the displays 102. For example, a first of the alignment openings 442 positioned towards the first end 404 may be associated with a first prescribed distance between the mounting members 104 corresponding to first of the displays 102 with a first display height and a second of the alignment openings 442 positioned towards the second end 406 may be associated with a second prescribed distance corresponding to second of the displays 102 with a second display height. The second prescribed distance may be greater than the first prescribed distance when the first display height of the first of the displays 102 is greater than the second display height of the second of the displays 102.[00981 The alignment openings 442 positioned between the first of the alignment openings 442 and the second of the alignment openings 442 may each be associated with prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 that are between the first prescribed distance associated with the first of the alignment openings 442 and the second prescribed distance associated with the second of the alignment openings 442 that corresponds with display heights of different of the displays 102 between the first display height of the first of the displays 102 and the second display height of the second of the displays 102. As shown in FIG. 12, the alignment openings 442 arepointed notches extending into the alignment members 440. The alignment openings 442 may extend into the alignment members 440 from an inward side of the alignment members 440.|0099] As shown in FIG. 12, a first of the alignment openings 442 overlaps with a second of the alignment openings 442. For example, when different display heights of the displays 102 are similar, the prescribed distances between the mounting members 104 may be close together. When the difference between the prescribed distances is less than a width of the alignment openings 442, the alignment openings 442 associated with the similar prescribed distances may overlap.|0100] The alignment members 440 defines a plurality of mounting apertures 444 extending through the alignment members 440. The mounting apertures 444 are configured to align with the mounting slots 424 to receive mounting fasteners 426 to removably couple the alignment members 440 to the extrusion member 402. For example, the mounting slots 424 may define threads and the mounting fasteners 426 may extend through the mounting apertures 444 and engage the threads of the mounting slots 424 to couple the alignment members 440 to the extrusion member 402.

[0101] The extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a plurality of alignment opening labels 450 coupled to the extrusion member 402. The alignment opening labels 450 may include an element indicating that a first of the alignment openings 442 proximate the first end 404 is “CAL” to identify that the first of the alignment openings 442 proximate the first end 404 is for calibrating the extruded adjustable spacer system 400. The alignment opening labels 450 may identify different display heights of the displays 102 that correspond with each of the alignment openings 442 and / or different sizes of the mounting members 104 that correspond with each of the alignment openings 442. The alignment opening labels 450 may include elements that increase in value moving along the length of the extrusion member 402 in a direction from the first end 404 towards the second end 406. For example, after the element of “CAL” associated with the first of the alignment openings 442 for calibration, the element of the alignment opening labels 450 associated with a second of the alignment openings 442 may be “0” to identify that the second of the alignment openings 442 corresponds to a mounting configuration.

[0102] According to an example embodiment, the elements of the alignment opening labels 450 in the direction from the first end 404 towards the second end 406 may be “CAL”, “0”, “240”, “250”, “270”, “280”, “300”, “337.5”, “340.1”, “342”, “343”, “400”, “450”, “480”, “500”, “540”, “576, “600, “604.7”, “608”, “610”, “640”, “675”, “680.2”, “684”, “686”, “750”, “800”, “810”, “900”, “960”, “1000”, and “1080” to indicate the display height in millimeters corresponding to each of the alignment openings 442 associated with the elements of the alignment opening labels 450. In other embodiments, the alignment opening labels 450 may include other elements to indicate the display heights corresponding to each of the alignment openings 442. In other embodiments, the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a single of the alignment opening labels 450 coupled to the extrusion member 402.

[0103] The extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a plurality of stop brackets 460 (e.g., an upper stop bracket, a lower stop bracket, etc.) slidably coupled to the extrusion member 402. The stop brackets 460 include a stop bracket body 462 and a plurality of stop bracket flanges 464 extending from opposing sides of the stop bracket body 462. The stop brackets 460 defines a plurality of stop bracket apertures 466 extending through the stop bracket body 462. The bracket apertures 466 are configured to selectively align with the inner slot opening 410 to receive stop bracket fasteners 468 to slidably couple the stop brackets 460 to the extrusion member 402. The stop bracket fasteners 468 may extend through the bracket apertures 466 and engage an inner slot insert 470 positioned within the inner slot 408 to slidably couple the stop brackets 460 to the extrusion member 402. For example, the inner slot 408 may define threaded apertures and the stop bracket fasteners 468 may extend through the bracket apertures 466, through the inner slot opening 410, and engage the threaded apertures of the inner slot insert 470 to slidably couple the stop brackets 460 to the extrusion member 402.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 12, the inner slot insert 470 includes inner slot insert chamfered surfaces 472 (e.g., first chamfered surfaces, first angled surfaces, etc.) configured to interface with the inner slot angled surfaces 412 of the extrusion member 402. When an operator of the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 tightens the stop bracket fasteners 468 against the stop brackets 460, the chamfered surfaces 472 may be pulled against the inner slot angled surfaces 412 to center the inner slot insert 470 and the stop brackets 460 relative to the inner slot 408.

[0105] The stop brackets 460 include a plurality of extension portions 474 (e.g., pointed portions, etc.) configured to align with the alignment openings 442. The extension portions 474 may engage the alignment openings 442 to selectively position the stop brackets 460 in positions corresponding to the prescribed distances between the mounting members 104. For example, when the extension portions 474 engage the alignment openings 442 associated with a display height of 1000 mm, the stop brackets 460 may be in a position corresponding to the prescribed distance between the mounting members 104 that corresponds to the display height of 1000 mm. When the extension portions 474 engage the alignment openings 442, the operator may tighten the stop bracket fasteners 468 against the stop brackets 460 to prevent the extension portions 474 from disengaging from the alignment openings 442 in order to prevent movement of the stop brackets 460. When movement of the stop brackets 460 is desired, the operator may loosen the stop bracket fasteners 468 and lift the extension portions 474 out of the alignment openings 442 to allow for the stop brackets 460 to slide relative to the extrusion member 402.[01 61 The stop brackets 460 defines a plurality of window apertures 476 extending through the stop brackets 460 and configured to align with the alignment opening labels 450. The window apertures 476 are configured to allow for the operator of the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 to visualize elements of the alignment opening labels 450 through the window apertures 476. For example, when the extension portions 474 of the stop brackets 460 engage one of the alignment openings 442, the window apertures 476 may align with the element of the window apertures 476 associated with the one of the alignment openings 442 such that the operator may visualize the element of the window apertures 476 associated with the one of the alignment openings 442 through the window apertures 476.|0107] The bracket flanges 464 define receiving edges 478 on a first side of the bracket flanges 464. The receiving edges 478 are configured to interface with (e.g., receive, contact, etc.) the mounting members 104 when the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 is being utilized to align the mounting members 104 for mounting. The receiving edges 478 of the stop brackets 460 may be positioned on an upper side of the bracket flanges 464 of an upper of the stop brackets 460 and on a lower side of the bracket flanges 464 of a lower of the stop brackets 460.

[0108] The bracket flanges 464 define caliper edges 480 (e.g., measuring ledges, etc.) on a second side of the bracket flanges 464, the second side opposite the first side. For example, the caliper edges 480 may be defined on an opposite side of the bracket flanges 464 as the receiving edges 478. The caliper edges 480 are configured to interface with the displays 102 when the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 is being utilized to measure the displays 102 to determine a display height of the displays. The caliper edges 480 of the stop brackets 460 may be positioned on a lower side of the bracket flanges 464 of an upper of the stop brackets 460 and on an upper side of the bracket flanges 464 of a lower of the stop brackets 460.

[0109] The extruded adjustable spacer system 400 includes a plurality of clamp brackets 490 slidably coupled to the extrusion member 402. The clamp brackets 490 includes a clamp bracket body 492 and a plurality of clamp bracket flanges 494 extending from opposing sides of the clamp bracket body 492. In some embodiments, a first of the clamp bracket flanges 494 may extend around a first lateral side of the extrusion member 402 and a second of the clamp bracket flanges 494 extends around a second lateral side of the extrusion member 402 opposing the first lateral side.

[0110] The clamp brackets 490 define a clamp bracket aperture 496 extending through the clamp bracket body 492. The clamp bracket aperture 496 is configured to selectively align with the outer slot opening 422 to receive clamp bracket fasteners 498 to slidably couple the clamp brackets 490 to the extrusion member 402. The clamp bracket fasteners 498 may engage the outer slot 420 to slidably couple the clamp brackets 490 to the extrusion member 402. The operator of the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may fasten a clamp bracket handle 500 to the clamp bracket fasteners 498 and tighten the clamp bracket handle 500 onto the clamp brackets 490 to selectively prevent movement of the clamp brackets 490 relative to the extrusion member 402.

[0111] The clamp brackets 490 defines clamping edges 504 on a side of the clamp bracket flanges 494. The clamping edges 504 are configured to interface with (e.g., contact, etc.) one of the mounting members 104 when the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 is being utilized to align the mounting members 104 for mounting such that the mounting members 104 are positioned between the clamping edges 504 of the clamp brackets 490 and the receiving edges478 of the stop brackets 460 to releasably couple the mounting members 104 to the extruded adjustable spacer system 400.|0112] The clamping edges 504 include an engagement tooth 506 configured to engage the mounting members 104 when the mounting members 104 are positioned between the clamping edges 504 of the clamp brackets 490 and the receiving edges 478 of the stop brackets 460 to secure the mounting members 104 to the extruded adjustable spacer system 400. For example, when the engagement tooth 506 engages the mounting members 104, the engagement tooth 506 may prevent movement of the mounting members 104 in a direction away from the extrusion member 402.

[0113] In operation, a first of the mounting members 104 is initially mounted on a surface. In order to mount a second of the mounting members 104 below the second of the mounting members 104 with the proper spacing, the display height of the displays 102 may be utilized. When the display height of the displays 102 is known and corresponds to one of the alignment openings 442, an upper of the stop brackets 460 may be slid along the extrusion member 402 to align the extension portions 474 of the upper of the stop brackets 460 with the alignment openings 442 associated with a size of the mounting members 104 (e.g., the alignment opening 442 proximate the element of “0” on the alignment opening labels 450, etc.) and engage the extension portions 474 with the alignment openings 442 to position the upper of the stop brackets 460 at a first position along the length of the extrusion member 402.

[0114] The receiving edges 478 of the upper of the stop brackets 460 may interface with the first of the mounting members 104, and an upper of the clamp brackets 490 may be slid downwards towards the upper of the stop brackets 460 until the first of the mounting members 104 is positioned between the receiving edges 478 of the upper of the stop brackets 460 and the clamping edges 504 of the upper of the clamp brackets 490 and the engagement tooth 506 of the upper of the clamp brackets 490 engages the first of the mounting members 104. The operator of the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may tighten the clamp bracket handle 500 onto the clamp brackets 490 to secure the first of the mounting members 104 between the upper of the stop brackets 460 and the upper of the clamp brackets 490.

[0115] The lower of the stop brackets 460 may be slid along the extrusion member 402 to align the extension portions 474 of the lower of the stop brackets 460 with the alignment openings 442 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 to position the lower of the stop brackets 460 at a second position along the length of the extrusion member 402 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102. For example, if the display height of the displays 102 is 576 mm, the extension portions 474 may align with and engage the alignment openings 442 corresponding to the display height of 576 mm (e.g., proximate the element “576” of the alignment opening labels 450, etc.).

[0116] The receiving edges 478 of the lower of the stop brackets 460 may interface with a second of the mounting members 104 and an lower of the clamp brackets 490 may be slid upwards towards the lower of the stop brackets 460 until the second of the mounting members 104 is positioned between the receiving edges 478 of the lower of the stop brackets 460 and the clamping edges 504 of the lower of the clamp brackets 490 and the engagement tooth 506 of the lower of the clamp brackets 490 engages the first of the mounting members 104.

[0117] The operator of the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may tighten the clamp bracket handle 500 onto the clamp brackets 490 to secure the second of the mounting members 104 between the lower of the stop brackets 460 and the lower of the clamp brackets 490 and mount the second of the mounting members 104 to the surface such that the second of the mounting members 104 is mounted to the surface the prescribed distance from the first of the mounting members 104. The operator may release the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 from the first and the second of the mounting members 104 and mount the displays 102 on the mounting members 104 to form the composite display wall.|0118] As shown in FIG. 14, the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may include a caliper bracket 510 configured to be slidably coupled to the extrusion member 402. The caliper bracket 510 includes a caliper bracket body 512 and a plurality of caliper bracket flanges 514 extending from opposing sides of the caliper bracket body 512. The caliper bracket 510 defines a plurality of caliper bracket apertures 516 extending through the caliper bracket body 512. The caliper bracket apertures 516 are configured to selectively align with the inner slot opening 410 toreceive caliper bracket fasteners 518 to slidably couple the caliper bracket 510 to the extrusion member 402. The caliper bracket fasteners 518 may extend through the caliper bracket apertures 516 and engage the inner slot insert 470 positioned within the inner slot 408 to slidably couple the caliper bracket 510 to the extrusion member 402. For example, the inner slot insert 470 may define threaded apertures and the caliper bracket fasteners 518 may extend through the caliper bracket apertures 516, through the inner slot opening 410, and engage the threaded apertures of the inner slot insert 470 to slidably couple the caliper bracket 510 to the extrusion member 402.|0119] The caliper bracket flanges 514 define receiving edges 520 on a first side of the caliper bracket flanges 514. The receiving edges 520 are configured to interface with (e.g., receive, contact, etc.) the mounting members 104 when the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 is being utilized to align the mounting members 104 for mounting. The receiving edges 520 of the caliper bracket 510 may be positioned on a lower side of the caliper bracket flanges 514.|0120] The caliper bracket flanges 514 define caliper edges 522 (e.g., measuring ledges, etc.) on a second side of the caliper bracket flanges 514, the second side opposite the first side. The caliper edges 522 are configured to interface with the displays 102 when the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 is being utilized to measure the displays 102 to determine a display height of the displays. The caliper edges 522 of the caliper bracket flanges 514 may be positioned on an upper side of the caliper bracket flanges 514.| 121] When the display height of the displays 102 is unknown, the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may be utilized to determine the display height of the displays 102 so that the extruded adjustable spacer system 400 may be utilized to space apart the mounting members 104 the prescribed distance based on the display height of the displays 102. To determine the display height of the displays 102, an upper of the stop brackets 460 may be slid along the extrusion member 402 to align the extension portions 474 of the upper of the stop brackets 460 with the alignment openings 442 associated with calibration (e.g., the alignment opening 442 proximate the element of “CAL” on the alignment opening labels 450, etc.) and engage the extension portions 474 with the alignment openings 442 to position the upper of the stop brackets 460 at afirst position along the length of the extrusion member 402. A lower of the stop brackets 460 may be removed from the extrusion member 402 and replaced with the caliper bracket 510.|0122] In some embodiments, the caliper edges 480 of the stop brackets 460 may be positioned on a top surface of one of the displays 102. The caliper bracket 510 may be slid upwards along the extrusion member 402 towards the stop brackets 460 until the caliper edges 522 contacts a lower surface of the one of the displays 102 at a second position along the length of the channel member 202. In other embodiments, the caliper edges 480 of the stop brackets 460 may be positioned at a first position along a measuring device (e.g., a ruler, a tape measure, etc.) corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 (e.g., after the measuring device has previously been utilized to measure the display height, etc.). The caliper bracket 510 may be slid upwards along the extrusion member 402 towards the stop brackets 460 until the caliper edges 522 reaches a second position along the measuring device corresponding to the display height of the displays 102 such that a distance between the caliper edges 480 of the stop brackets 460 and the caliper edges 522 of the caliper bracket 510 is equal to the display height of the displays 102.[01231 If the receiving edge 520 of the caliper bracket 510 aligns with one of the alignment openings 442, the display height of the displays 102 is equal to the element of the alignment opening labels 450 associated with the alignment openings 442 and the mounting members 104 can be mounted as described above. For example, the upper of the stop brackets 460 may be slid along the extrusion member 402 to align the extension portions 474 of the upper of the stop brackets 460 with the alignment openings 442 proximate the element of “0” on the alignment opening labels 450 and engage the extension portions 474 with the alignment openings 442 to position the upper of the stop brackets 460 at a first position along the length of the extrusion member 402. The lower of the stop brackets 460 may be slid along the extrusion member 402 to align the extension portions 474 of the lower of the stop brackets 460 with the alignment openings 442 corresponding to the one of the alignment openings 442 that aligned with the receiving edge 520 of the caliper bracket 510 to position the lower of the stop brackets 460 at a second position along the length of the extrusion member 402 corresponding to the display height of the displays 102.

[0124] If the receiving edge 520 of the caliper bracket 510 does not align with one of the alignment openings 442, the operator may tighten the caliper bracket fasteners 518 to prevent movement of the caliper bracket 510 along the length of the extrusion member 402 and proceed with aligning the mounting members 104 as above replacing the lower of the stop brackets 460 with the caliper bracket 510.
