[0031] Following below are more detailed descriptions of various concepts related to, and implementations of, methods, apparatuses, and systems for mounting displays of display mounting systems. 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 -4- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628limited to any particular manner of implementation. Examples of specific implementations and applications are provided primarily for illustrative purposes.I. Overview
[0032] 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 surface of the wall is not flat, an image formed by the composite display wall may be distorted. For example, if a first of the mounting members positions a first of the displays at a first position and a second of the mounting members positions a second of the displays at a second position where a second screen of the second of the displays is spaced from a first screen of the first of the displays in a direction away from the wall, the image formed by the composite display wall may include portions that are different distances from a viewer. As another example, if a first of the displays and a second of the displays are in a same row and the second of the displays is positioned higher than the first of the displays, the image formed by the composite display wall may be angled.[00331 Additionally, the display mounting system may be configured to mount displays to the mounting members via display mount members. However, to facilitate a seamless image on the composite display wall, the mounting members are mounted on a rear of the displays and an operator of the display mounting system may have difficultly accessing the display mount members to fasten the display mount members to the mounting members. For example, when the display mount members are configured to be fastened to the mounting members via screws, an operator of the display mounting system may have difficulty tightening the screws to fasten the display mount members to the mounting members.
[0034] Implementation herein are related to an adjustable display mounting system that is configured to be adjusted to accurately position the displays forming the composite display wall. For example, during assembly of the composite display wall, wall mount assemblies of the display mounting system may be mounted to a wall and alignment frame assemblies of the display mounting system may be mounted to the wall mount assemblies. The wall mount -5- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628assemblies may be adjusted to change a distance between the alignment frame assemblies and the wall. Display mount assemblies of the display mounting system may be attached to the displays and then releasably attached to the alignment frame assemblies to accurately position the displays on the wall to form the composite display wall. Additionally, an operator of the display mounting system may fasten the display mount assemblies to the alignment frame assemblies without accessing a space between the alignment frame assemblies and the wall. For example, the operator may fasten the display mount assemblies to the alignment frame assemblies via a mount arm extending away from the alignment frame assemblies such that the operator does not reach into the space between the alignment frame assemblies and the wall.II. Overview of Example Display Mounting Systems
[0035] FIGS. 1-5 depict a display mounting system 100 (e.g., an LED mounting system, etc.) for mounting multiple displays 102 (e.g., LED displays, televisions, etc.) onto a surface 104 (e.g., a wall, a substantially vertical surface, etc.). The display mounting system 100 includes a plurality of mounting assemblies 106 configured to couple the displays 102 to the surface 104 to form a composite display wall (e.g., a video wall, a display wall, etc.). For example, a first portion of the mounting assemblies 106 may be arranged on the surface 104 and a second portion of the mounting assemblies 106 may be coupled to the displays 102. The second portion of the mounting assemblies 106 may be coupled to the first portion of the mounting assemblies 106 to couple the displays 102 to the surface 104 in a specific arrangement such that images formed on the displays 102 form a composite image. At least a portion of the mounting assemblies are adjustable to alternate a distance between the displays 102 and surface 104.
[0036] The mounting assemblies 106 include a plurality of wall mount assemblies 200 (e g., wall bracket assemblies, adjustable wall mount assemblies, etc.) configured to be coupled to the surface 104. The wall mount assemblies 200 are adjustable wall mount assemblies configured to be individually adjusted between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration to adjust a distance between the displays 102 and the surface 104 when the displays 102 are mounted to the surface 104 by the mounting assemblies 106. For example, one of the displays 102 may be a first distance from the surface 104 when the wall mount assemblies 200 proximate the one of -6- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628the displays 102 (e.g., between the one of the displays 102 and the surface 104, etc.) are in the retracted position and the one of the displays 102 may be a second distance from the surface 104 that is greater than the first distance when the wall mount assemblies 200 proximate the one of the displays 102 are in the extended position. The wall mount assemblies 200 may be adjusted between the retracted configuration and the extended configuration into a plurality of intermediate configurations that position the displays 102 intermediate distances from the surface 104 that are between an extended distance between the displays 102 and the surface 104 when the wall mount assemblies 200 are in the extended configuration and a retracted distance between the displays 102 and the surface 104 when the wall mount assemblies 200 are in the retracted configuration.|<K>37J The wall mount assemblies 200 each include a base bracket 202 (e.g., a base bracket, etc.). The base brackets 202 are configured to releasably couple to the surface 104 to couple the wall mount assemblies 200 to the surface 104. The base brackets 202 each include a base body 204. The base body 204 is configured to couple to the surface 104 to couple the base bracket 202 to the surface 104. For example, the base body 204 may extend along the surface 104 and couple to the surface 104 to couple the base bracket 202 to the surface 104.[0038 J In some embodiments, and as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the base bracket 202 defines a plurality of wall mount apertures 206 extending therethrough. The wall mount apertures 206 are configured to receive fasteners (e.g., wall mount fasteners, etc.) that engage the surface 104 to couple the base bracket 202 to the surface 104. In some embodiments, the wall mount apertures 206 are slots such that a position of the base bracket 202 may be adjusted relative to the fasteners extending through the wall mount apertures 206 and engaging the surface 104. For example, the wall mount apertures 206 may be vertical slots such that a vertical position of the base bracket 202 may be adjusted relative to fasteners extending through the wall mount apertures 206 and engaging the surface 104. As another example, the wall mount apertures 206 may be horizontal slots such that a horizontal position of the base bracket 202 may be adjusted relative to fasteners extending through the wall mount apertures 206 and engaging the surface 104.-7- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628[0039} The base bracket 202 includes a plurality of mounting flanges 208 (e.g., flanges, a pair of mounting flanges, etc.) extending from the base body 204. For example, a first of the mounting flanges 208 may extend from the base body 204 proximate an upper end of the base body 204 and a second of the mounting flanges 208 may extend from the base body 204 proximate a lower end of the base body 204. Each of the mounting flanges 208 defines a plurality of arm mount apertures 210 extending therethrough. The arm mount apertures 210 extending through a first of the mounting flanges 208 may align with the arm mount apertures 210 extending through a second of the mounting flanges 208. For example, a first of the arm mount apertures 210 on a first of the mounting flanges 208 may align with a first of the arm mount apertures 210 on a second of the mounting flanges 208 and a second of the arm mount apertures 210 on the first of the mounting flanges 208 may align with a second of the arm mount apertures 210 on the second of the mounting flanges 208.
[0040] The wall mount assemblies 200 each includes a plurality of adjustment arms 220 (e.g., arms, mounting arms, etc.). The adjustment arms 220 are pivotably coupled to the base bracket 202. The adjustment arms 220 each include an arm body 222 extending along a height of the adjustment arms 220 and a plurality of pivot flanges 224 (e.g., first flanges, etc.) extending from the arm body 222. For example, a first of the pivot flanges 224 may extend from the arm body 222 proximate an upper end of the arm body 222 and a second of the pivot flanges 224 may extend from the arm body 222 proximate a lower end of the arm body 222.
[0041] Each of the pivot flanges 224 defines a pivot aperture 226 therethrough. The pivot apertures 226 are each configured to selectively align with one of the arm mount apertures 210 to receive a pivot fastener 228 (e.g., a pivot fastener, a pivot screw, etc.) to pivotably couple the adjustment arms 220 to the base bracket 202. For example, a first of the pivot apertures 226 extending through a first of the pivot flanges 224 of one of the adjustment arms 220 may selectively align with a first of the arm mount apertures 210 extending through a first of the mounting flanges 208 to receive a first of the pivot fasteners 228 and a second of the pivot apertures 226 extending through a second of the pivot flanges 224 of the one of the adjustment arms 220 may selectively align with a second of the arm mount apertures 210 extending through-8- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628a second of the mounting flanges 208 to receive a second of the pivot fasteners 228 to pivotably couple the one of the adjustment arms 220 to the base bracket 202.
[0042] The adjustment arms 220 each include a plurality of slot flanges 230 extending from the arm body 222. For example, a first of the slot flanges 230 may extend from the arm body 222 proximate an upper end of the arm body 222 and a second of the slot flanges 230 may extend from the arm body 222 proximate a lower end of the arm body 222. Each of the slot flanges 230 defines an adjustment slot 232 extending therethrough. The adjustment slots 232 may each extend along a length of one of the slot flanges 230.
[0043] In some embodiments, the adjustment slots 232 are curved adjustment slots that follow a curve along the length of the slot flanges 230. For example, the adjustment slots 232 may follow a circumferential path along the length of the slot flanges 230. The adjustment slots 232 on different of the adjustment arms 220 may be curved in different directions from a proximal end 236 of the adjustment slots 232 (e.g., an end of the adjustment slots 232 proximal to the pivot flanges 224, etc.) to a distal end 234 of the adjustment slots 232(e.g., an end of the adjustment slots 232 distal to the pivot flanges 224, etc.). For example, the adjustment slots 232 of a first of the adjustment arms 220 may be curved in a first direction from the proximal ends 236 of the adjustment slots 232 of the first of the adjustment arms 220 to the distal ends 234 of the adjustment slots 232 of the first of the adjustment arms 220 and the adjustment slots 232 of a second of the adjustment arms 220 may be curved in an opposing second direction from the proximal ends 236 of the adjustment slots 232 of the second of the adjustment arms 220 to the distal ends 234 of the adjustment slots 232 of the second of the adjustment arms 220. As another example, the adjustment slots 232 of a first of the adjustment arms 220 may be first curved slots and the adjustment slots 232 of a second of the adjustment arms 220 may be second curved slots that are oppositely curving relative to the first curved slots, (e.g., curved in opposite rotational directions from the proximal end 236 of the distal end 234 around a center of the circumferential paths followed by the adjustment slots 232, etc.) The adjustment slot 232 extending through a first of the slot flanges 230 of one of the adjustment arms 220 may align with the adjustment slot 232 extending through a second of the slot flanges 230 of the one of the adjustment arms 220. In-9- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628other embodiments, each of the slot flanges 230 define a plurality of adjustment apertures extending along a length of the slot flanges 230.
[0044] The wall mount assemblies 200 includes a plurality of mounting bars 240 (e.g., mounting inserts, top slot inserts, etc.) slidably coupled between the adjustment arms 220. Each of the mounting bars 240 defines a plurality of adjustment apertures 242 configured to selectively align with one of the adjustment slots 232 to receive an adjustment fastener 244 to slidably couple the mounting bars 240 to each of the adjustment arms 220. For example, a first of the adjustment apertures 242 of one of the mounting bars 240 may align with a first of the adjustment slots 232 of a first of the adjustment arms 220 to receive a first of the adjustment fasteners 244 to slidably couple the one of the mounting bars 240 to the first of the adjustment arms 220 and a second of the adjustment apertures 242 of the one of the mounting bars 240 may align with a first of the adjustment slots 232 of a second of the adjustment arms 220 to receive a second of the adjustment fasteners 244 to slidably couple the one of the mounting bars 240 to the second of the adjustment arms 220. In some embodiments, and as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the mounting bars 240 include mounting bar chamfered surfaces 246 (e.g., first chamfered surfaces, first angled surfaces, etc.).
[0045] As the adjustment arms 220 pivot relative to the base bracket 202, the adjustment fasteners 244 coupled to the mounting bars 240 may slide along the lengths of the adjustment slots 232 to adjust the wall mount assemblies 200 between the extended configuration and the retracted configuration. For example, when the adjustment arms 220 pivot towards each other, the adjustment fasteners 244 coupled to the mounting bars 240 may slide along the adjustment slots 232 towards the distal end 234 of the adjustment slots 232 such that the mounting bars 240 move away from the base bracket 202. When the adjustment fasteners 244 reach the distal end 234 of the adjustment slots 232, as shown in FIG. 9A, the mounting bars 240 are positioned a maximum distance from the base bracket 202 to place the wall mount assemblies 200 in the extended configuration. The mounting bars 240 may extend substantially parallel to the surface 104 as the wall mount assembly 200 is adjusted between the retracted position and the extended position.-10- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628[0046} As another example, when the adjustment arms 220 pivot away from each other, the adjustment fasteners 244 coupled to the mounting bars 240 may slide along the adjustment slots 232 towards the proximal end 236 of the adjustment slots 232 such that the mounting bars 240 move towards the base bracket 202. When the adjustment fasteners 244 reach the proximal end 236 of the adjustment slots 232, as shown in FIG. 9C, the mounting bars 240 are position a minimum distance from the base bracket 202 to place the wall mount assemblies 200 in the retracted position. As shown in FIG. 9B, the adjustment fasteners 244 may be positioned in a plurality of positions between the distal end 234 and the proximal end 236 of the adjustment slots 232 to position the mounting bars 240 a plurality of intermediate distances from the base bracket 202 that are between the minimum distance and the maximum distance to place the wall mount assemblies 200 in a plurality of intermediate positions.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as shown in FIGS. 6-8 and 10, the pivot flanges 224 each define a plurality of teeth 238 (e.g., gear teeth, a toothed profile, etc.) configured to engage with the teeth 238 of another of the pivot flanges 224 to link together rotation of the adjustment arms 220 relative to the base bracket 202. For example, the teeth 238 of a first of the pivot flanges 224 of a first of the adjustment arms 220 may engage the teeth 238 of a first of the pivot flanges 224 of a second of the adjustment arms 220 and the teeth 238 of a second of the pivot flanges 224 of the first of the adjustment arms 220 may engage the teeth 238 of a second of the pivot flanges 224 of the second of the adjustment arms 220 to link the rotation of the first of the adjustment arms 220 and the second of the adjustment arms 220 relative to the base bracket 202. As another example, the teeth 238 of upper of the pivot flanges 224 of the adjustment arms 220 may engage together and the teeth 238 of lower of the pivot flanges 224 of the adjustment arms 220 may engage together to link the rotation of the adjustment arms 220 relative to the base bracket 202. In other embodiments, a portion of the pivot flanges 224 define the teeth 238. For example, an upper portion of the pivot flanges 224 may define the teeth 238 and a lower portion of the pivot flanges 224 may not define the teeth 238.[0048} In some embodiments, such as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the wall mount assemblies 200 each include a plurality of retention plates 250. The retention plates 250 are each configured to couple to one of the mounting flanges 208 such that the pivot flanges 224 pivotably coupled to the one -11- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628of the mounting flanges 208 is positioned between the retention plates 250 and the one of the mounting flanges 208. For example, the retention plates 250 and the mounting flanges 208 may cover sides of the teeth 238 to inhibit an operator from being pinched between the teeth 238. Each of the retention plates 250 defines a plurality of retention apertures 252 extending therethrough. The retention apertures 252 are each configured to selectively align with one of the arm mount apertures 210 to receive the pivot fasteners 228 to couple the retention plates 250 to the base bracket 202. For example, a first of the pivot fasteners 228 may extend through one of the arm mount apertures 210, one of the pivot apertures 226, and one of the retention apertures 252 to couple one of the retention plates 250 to the base bracket 202 and to pivotably couple one of the adjustment arms 220 to the one of the retention plates 250 and the base bracket 202 between the one of the retention plates 250 and the base bracket 202.
[0049] The mounting assemblies 106 each include an alignment frame assembly 300 (e.g., alignment frame, etc.) configured to be coupled to the wall mount assemblies 200. The alignment frame assembly 300 is configured to extend horizontally along the surface 104 and couple to multiple of the wall mount assemblies 200 along a horizontal. For example, the alignment frame assembly 300 may be coupled to a first of the wall mount assemblies 200, a second of the wall mount assemblies 200, and a third of the wall mount assemblies 200 extending horizontally along the surface 104. The alignment frame assembly 300 may be spaced different distances from the surface 104 based on the configurations of each of the wall mount assemblies 200. For example, if the alignment frame assembly 300 is coupled to a first of the wall mount assemblies 200 in the retracted configuration and a second of the wall mount assemblies 200 in the extended configuration, a first portion of the alignment frame assembly 300 proximate the first of the wall mount assemblies 200 may be positioned a first distance from the surface 104 and a second portion of the alignment frame assembly 300 proximate the second of the wall mount assemblies 200 may be positioned a second distance from the surface 104 that is greater than the first distance.
[0050] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the alignment frame assembly 300 includes a plurality of extrusion members 302 (e.g., extrusion bodies, elongate bodies, elongate members, etc.) extending along portions of a length of the alignment frame assembly 300. Each of the extrusion -12- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628members 302 defines a first slot 304 (e.g., an upper slot, etc.) extending partially into the extrusion members 302 from an upper side of the extrusion members 302 and a second slot 306 (e.g., a lower slot, etc.) extending partially into the extrusion members 302 from a lower side of the extrusion members 302. The first slot 304 and the second slot 306 are each configured to receive one of the mounting bars 240 of the wall mount assemblies 200 to slidably couple the alignment frame assembly 300 to the wall mount assemblies 200. For example, the first slot 304 may receive a first of the mounting bars 240 of one of the wall mount assemblies 200 and the second slot 306 may receive a second of the mounting bars 240 of the one of the wall mount assemblies 200 to slidably couple the alignment frame assembly 300 to the one of the wall mount assemblies 200. The first slot 304 and the second slot 306 extend along a length of the extrusion members 302. The first slot 304 includes a first opening 308 extending through an upper surface of the extrusion members 302. The second slot second slot 306 includes a second opening 310 extending through a lower surface of the extrusion members 302.
[0051] The extrusion members 302 includes first slot angled surfaces 312 (e.g., upper slot chamfered surfaces, etc.) that define portions of the first slot 304. The first slot angled surfaces 312 extend inward from the upper side of the extrusion members 302 and outward towards lateral sides of the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion members 302 may include a first of the first slot angled surfaces 312 extending from the first opening 308 in a first direction that is oriented downward from the first opening 308 and outward towards a first lateral side of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the first slot angled surfaces 312 extending from the first opening 308 in a second direction that is oriented downward from the first opening 308 and outward towards an opposing second lateral side of the extrusion members 302.
[0052] The extrusion members 302 include second slot angled surfaces 314 (e.g., lower slot chamfered surfaces, etc.) that define portions of the second slot 306. The second slot angled surfaces 314 extend inward from the lower side of the extrusion members 302 and outward towards lateral sides of the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion members 302 may include a first of the second slot angled surfaces 314 extending from the second opening 310 in a first direction that is oriented upward from the second opening 310 and outward towards a first lateral side of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the second slot angled surfaces -13- 4913-6785-8826Atty.

No.: 461494-0628314 extending from the second opening 310 in a second direction that is oriented upward from the first opening 308 and outward towards an opposing second lateral side of the extrusion members 302.
[0053] When the mounting bars 240 are received within the first slot 304 and the second slot 306, the mounting bar chamfered surfaces 246 interface with the first slot angled surfaces 312 or the second slot angled surfaces 314. When an operator of the display mounting system 100 tightens the adjustment fasteners 244 into the adjustment apertures 242, the mounting bar chamfered surfaces 246 may be pulled against the first slot angled surfaces 312 or the second slot angled surfaces 314 to center the mounting bars 240 relative to the first slot 304 or the second slot 306. Additionally or alternatively, the mounting bar chamfered surfaces 246 being pulled against the first slot angled surfaces 312 or the second slot angled surfaces 314 may inhibit sliding of the mounting bars 240 through the first slot 304 or the second slot 306.
[0054] The extrusion members 302 each define an extrusion opening 320 extending into one of the lateral sides of the extrusion members 302. The extrusion opening 320 includes a third slot 322 (e.g., a side slot, etc.) extending partially into the extrusion members 302 from the one of the lateral sides of the extrusion members 302. The third slot 322 extends along the length of the extrusion members 302. The third slot 322 includes a third opening 324 extending through a portion of the extrusion members 302. The extrusion members 302 include third slot angled surfaces 326 (e.g., side slot chamfered surfaces, etc.) that define portions of the third slot 322. The third slot angled surfaces 326 extend (i) inward from the one of the lateral sides of the extrusion members 302 and (ii) upwards towards the upper sides of the extrusion members 302 or downwards towards the lower sides of the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion members 302 may include a first of the third slot angled surfaces 326 extending from the third opening 324 in a first direction that is oriented inward from the third opening 324 and upwards towards an upper side of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the third slot angled surfaces 326 extending from the third opening 324 in a second direction that is oriented inward from the third opening 324 and downwards towards a lower side of the extrusion members 302.-14- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628[0055} The extrusion members 302 each include a plurality of extended lips 328 (e.g., first lips, etc.) extending into the extrusion opening 320. For example, the extrusion members 302 may include a first of the extended lips 328 extending into an upper portion of the extrusion opening 320 and a second of the extended lips 328 extending into a lower portion of the extrusion opening 320.[0056} The alignment frame assembly 300 includes at least one extrusion bracket 340 configured to releasably couple together two of the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion bracket 340 may be received within the extrusion opening 320 and be coupled between a first of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the extrusion members 302 to couple the second of the extrusion members 302 to the first of the extrusion members 302. In some embodiments, the alignment frame assembly 300 includes a plurality of the extrusion brackets 340. For example, when the alignment frame assembly 300 includes more than two of the extrusion members 302, the alignment frame assembly 300 may include a first of the extrusion brackets 340 coupled between a first of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the extrusion members 302 and a second of the extrusion brackets 340 coupled between the second of the extrusion members 302 and a third of the extrusion members 302.[0057} The extrusion bracket 340 includes a plurality of engagement lips 342 (e.g., second lips, etc.) configured to engage the extended lips 328 of the extrusion members 302 when the extrusion bracket 340 is received within the extrusion openings 320 of the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion bracket 340 may include a first of the engagement lips 342 on an upper end of the extrusion bracket 340 configured to engage first of the extended lips 328 extending into upper portions of the extrusion openings 320 and a second of the engagement lips 342 on a lower end of the extrusion bracket 340 configured to engage second of the extended lips 328 extending into lower portions of the extrusion openings 320. The engagement lips 342 may inhibit the extrusion bracket 340 from being removed from the extrusion opening 320 in an outward direction from the extrusion members 302. For example, the extrusion bracket 340 may be configured to be slid out of ends of the extrusion opening 320 and the engagement lips 342 may inhibit the extrusion bracket 340 from being removed from a center of the 320 in an outward direction.-15- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628[0058} The extrusion bracket 340 defines a plurality of bracket apertures 344 extending therethrough. The bracket apertures 344 are configured to align with the third openings 324 of the third slots 322 when the extrusion bracket 340 is received within the extrusion opening 320 to receive bracket fasteners 346 to slidably couple the extrusion bracket 340 to the extrusion members 302. The bracket fasteners 346 may extend through the bracket apertures 344 and engage a side slot insert 360 positioned within the third slot 322 to slidably couple the extrusion bracket 340 to the extrusion members 302. For example, the side slot insert 360 may define threaded apertures and the bracket fasteners 346 may extend through the bracket apertures 344, through the third openings 324, and engage the threaded apertures of the side slot insert 360 to slidably couple the extrusion bracket 340 to the extrusion members 302.[0059} The side slot insert 360 includes side slot insert chamfered surfaces 362 (e.g., third chamfered surfaces, third angled surfaces, etc.) configured to interface with the third slot angled surfaces 326 of the extrusion members 302. When an operator of the display mounting system 100 tightens the bracket fasteners 346 against the extrusion bracket 340, the side slot insert chamfered surfaces 362 may be pulled against the third slot angled surfaces 326 to center the side slot insert 360 and the extrusion bracket 340 relative to the third slot 322 and / or the extrusion opening 320. Additionally or alternatively, the chamfered surfaces 362 being pulled against the third slot angled surfaces 326 may inhibit sliding of the side slot insert 360 and the extrusion bracket 340 through the extrusion opening 320.
[0060] The mounting assemblies 106 include a plurality of display mount assemblies 400 (e.g., display bracket assemblies, display locking assemblies, etc.) configured to releasably couple the displays 102 to the alignment frame assembly 300. The display mount assemblies 400 are configured to releasably couple to the displays 102. For example, a pair of the display mount assemblies 400 may be coupled to each of the displays 102 and the pair of the display mount assemblies 400 may couple each of the displays 102 to the alignment frame assembly 300.
[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a first of the pair of the display mount assemblies 400 is configured to couple to a first upper corner of one of the displays 102 and a second of the pair of the display mount assemblies 400 is configured to couple to an opposing -16- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628second upper corner of the one of the displays 102. The display mount assemblies 400 are configured to releasably couple to the alignment frame assembly 300 to releasably couple the displays 102 to the alignment frame assembly 300. For example, when the display mount assemblies 400 are coupling the displays 102 to the alignment frame assembly 300, the display mount assemblies 400 may be positioned between he displays 102 and the alignment frame assembly 300.[0062) When the display mount assemblies 400 interface with the alignment frame assembly 300, the display mount assemblies 400 may be alternated between an unlocked configuration that allows for the display mount assemblies 400 and the display 102 coupled to the display mount assemblies 400 to be slid along the alignment frame assembly 300 and a locked configuration that inhibits the display mount assemblies 400 and the display 102 coupled to the display mount assemblies 400 from being slid along the alignment frame assembly 300.
[0063] As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the display mount assemblies 400 each include a display mount bracket 402. The display mount bracket 402 includes a display mount body 404 configured to couple to the displays 102. The display mount body 404 defines a display mount aperture 406 extending therethrough configured to selectively receive a display fastener 407. The display fastener 407 extends through the display mount aperture 406 and may engage one of the displays 102 to releasably couple the display mount assemblies 400 to the one of the displays 102.
[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15, the display mount assemblies 400 includes a sleeve 408. The sleeve 408 is configured to extend through the display mount aperture 406 between the display mount body 404 and the display fastener 407. In some embodiments, a length of the sleeve 408 may be longer than a depth of the display mount aperture 406. For example, the sleeve 408 may include a first portion that is positioned within the display mount aperture 406 and a second portion that is positioned outside of the display mount aperture 406. As another example, the sleeve 408 may include a ledge with a diameter that is greater than a diameter of the display mount aperture 406 such that the ledge cannot drift within the display mount aperture 406. The sleeve 408 may rotatably couple the display fastener 407 to the display mount body 404 to allow for the display fastener 407 to rotate relative to the display mount bracket 402. For -17- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628example, the sleeve 408 may be positioned between the display fastener 407 and the display mount bracket 402 to allow for a rotary degree of freedom between the display fastener 407 and the display mount bracket 402.
[0065] The display mount bracket 402 includes a display mount arm 409 extending from the display mount body 404. The display mount body 404 and the display mount arm 409 collectively define a display mount channel 410 configured to receive one of the extrusion members 302 of the alignment frame assembly 300. For example, to couple the display mount assemblies 400 to the alignment frame assembly 300, the display mount assemblies 400 may be lowered down onto the alignment frame assembly 300 such that the extrusion members 302 is positioned within the display mount channel 410.
[0066] The display mount arm 409 defines a locking opening 412 extending therethrough. The locking opening 412 extends through a portion of the display mount arm 409 defining a side of the display mount channel 410. The display mount arm 409 defines a plurality of pin apertures 414 extending therethrough. The pin apertures 414 align with the locking opening 412. For example, a first of the pin apertures 414 may extend through a first portion of the display mount arm 409 on a first side of the locking opening 412 and a second of the pin apertures 414 may extend through a second portion of the display mount arm 409 on an opposing second side of the locking opening 412. In some embodiments, and as shown in FIG. 14, the display mount arm 409 defines a leveling aperture 416 extending therethrough. The leveling aperture 416 extends through a portion of the display mount arm 409 defining a top of the display mount channel 410.
[0067] The display mount assemblies 400 includes a locking assembly 420 coupled to the display mount bracket 402. The locking assembly 420 is configured to be operated to alternate the display mount assemblies 400 between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration. At least a portion of the locking assembly 420 extends through the locking opening 412. For example, a first portion of the locking assembly 420 may be positioned on a first side of the display mount arm 409, a second portion of the locking assembly 420 may extend through the locking opening 412, and a third portion of the locking assembly 420 may be positioned on an opposing second side of the display mount arm 409.-18- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628
[0068] The locking assembly 420 includes a locking member 422 coupled to the display mount bracket 402. The locking member 422 defines an axial opening 424 extending therethrough. As shown in FIG. 16, the axial opening 424 is defined by an axis Ai. The locking member 422 defines a plurality of pin slots 426 extending therethrough. The pin slots 426 align with the axial opening 424 and extend in directions through the locking member 422 that are perpendicular to the axis Ai. For example, a first of the pin slots 426 may extend through a first portion of the locking member 422 on a first side of the axial opening 424 and a second of the pin slots 426 may extend through a second portion of the locking member 422 on a second side of the axial opening 424. The pin slots 426 extend in a direction along the axis Ai from a first end of the pin slots 426 to a second end of the pin slots 426. For example, a first end of the pin slots 426 may be positioned at a first location along the axis Ai and a second end of the pin slots 426 may be positioned at a second location along the axis Ai that is a distance the first location along the axis Ai that is greater than zero.
[0069] The locking member 422 defines a plurality of handle apertures 428 extending therethrough. The handle apertures 428 align with the axial opening 424 and extend in directions through the locking member 422 that are perpendicular to the axis Ai. The handle apertures 428 align to receive a handle 430. The handle 430 extends through the handle apertures 428 and across the axial opening 424. The handle 430 is configured to be grasped by an operator of the display mounting system 100 to rotate the locking member 422 relative to the display mount bracket 402. The handle 430 may be operated by the operator of the display mounting system 100 to alternate the display mount assemblies 400 between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration. For example, when the handle 430 is in a first position, the handle 430 may place the display mount assemblies 400 in the locked configuration and when the handle 430 is in a second position angularly offset from the first position, the handle 430 may place the display mount assemblies 400 in the unlocked configuration.[0070} The pin slots 426 and the pin apertures 414 selectively align to receive a pin 432. When the locking member 422 is rotated (e.g., by an operator via the handle 430, etc.), the pin 432 may slide along the pin slots 426 between the first end of the pin slots 426 and the second end of the pin slots 426 such that the locking member 422 moves along the axis Ai relative to the display -19- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628mount bracket 402. For example, when the handle 430 is in the first position, the pin 432 may be positioned at a first end of the pin slots 426 and the locking member 422 may be positioned at a first location along the axis Ai. When the handle 430 is moved to the second position, the rotation of the locking member 422 may cause the pin 432 to slide along the pin slots 426 to a second end of the pin slots 426 such that the locking member 422 is positioned at a second location along the axis Ai offset from the first location.[0071) The locking assembly 420 includes a retention member 440 slidably coupled to the locking member 422. The retention members 440 includes a retention base 442 and a plurality of extension arms 444 extending from the retention base 442. The retention base 442 is configured to engage the extrusion members 302 of the alignment frame assembly 300 when the extrusion members 302 is positioned within the display mount channel 410. The extension arms 444 are configured to extend through the axial opening 424 of the locking member 422 and engage the locking member 422 to inhibit the extension arms 444 from being removed from the axial opening 424. The pin 432 extends between the extension arms 444 to inhibit rotation of the retention member 440 relative to the display mount bracket 402. For example, when the locking member 422 is rotated relative to the display mount bracket 402 via the handle 430, the pin 432 may contact at least one of the extension arms 444 to prevent the retention member 440 from rotating with the locking member 422.
[0072] The locking assembly 420 includes a plurality of compressible elements 450 (e.g., springs, helical springs, belleville springs, belleville washers, etc.) positioned between the retention members 440 and at least one of the locking member 422 or the handle 430. In some embodiments, the compressible elements 450 are slidably coupled to the extension arms 444. For example, the compressible elements 450 may define openings and the extension arms 444 may extend through the openings. When the display mount assemblies 400 are in the unlocked configuration, the compressible elements 450 may be in an uncompressed state. For example, when the display mount assemblies 400 are in the unlocked state, the compressible elements 450 may “float” between the retention members 440 and the locking member 422. When the display mount assemblies 400 are in the locked configuration, the compressible elements 450 may be in a compressed state and may apply a compression force on the retention member 440 to compress -20- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628the extrusion members 302 positioned in the display mount channel 410 between the retention members 440 and the display mount body 404 to inhibit the display mount assemblies 400 from sliding along the extrusion members 302. For example, when the display mount assemblies 400 are adjusted into the locked configuration from the unlocked configuration, the locking member 422 may move towards the compressible elements 450 to compress the compressible elements 450 between the locking member 422 and the retention members 440 to form the compression force.
[0073] In some embodiments, each display mount assembly 400 includes a leveling fastener 460. The leveling fastener 460 is configured to selectively align with the leveling aperture 416 to extend through the leveling fastener 460 and into the display mount channel 410. When the extrusion members 302 is positioned within the display mount channel 410, an operator of the display mounting system 100 may modify a distance that the leveling fastener 460 extends into the display mount channel 410 to modify a distance between the extrusion members 302 and a top of the display mount channel 410 such that the operator may adjust a level of the display 102 coupled to the display mount assemblies 400.
[0074] In some embodiments, and as shown in FIGS. 17-19, the display mounting system 100 includes an alignment bracket 500. The alignment bracket 500 is configured to slidably couple to the extrusion members 302 of the alignment frame assembly 300. An operator of the display mounting system 100 may utilize the alignment bracket 500 to determine desired configurations of the wall mount assemblies 200. For example, an operator of the display mounting system 100 may install a laser pointer (e.g., a laser device, etc.) at a first end of the alignment frame assembly 300 and couple the alignment bracket 500 to the alignment frame assembly 300 proximate a first of the wall mount assemblies 200. The operator may align a laser emitted by the laser pointer on the alignment bracket 500 and mark a location on the alignment bracket 500 where the laser contacts the alignment bracket 500. Then, the operator may move the alignment bracket 500 along the alignment frame assembly 300 to a location proximate a second of the wall mount assemblies 200 and may adjust a configuration of the second of the wall mount assemblies 200 until the laser lines up with the mark on the alignment bracket 500. The operator may repeat this-21- 4913-6785-8826Atty. Dkt. No.: 461494-0628alignment step for other of the wall mount assemblies 200 to ensure accurate alignment of the displays 102.
[0075] The alignment bracket 500 includes an alignment base 502, an alignment flange 504 extending from a first side of the alignment base 502, and an alignment clip 506 extending from an opposing second side of the alignment base 502. The operator of the display mounting system 100 may align the laser with the alignment flange 504 and mark the alignment flange 504. The alignment clip 506 and the alignment base 502 collectively define an alignment channel 508. The alignment channel 508 is configured to receive one of the extrusion members 302 of the alignment frame assembly 300 to slidably couple the alignment bracket 500 to the one of the extrusion members 302.
