Pull-out swivel mount

摘要

A system for mounting a flat panel television or display to a surface such as a wall. A base plate is configured to operatively connect to a surface, while an adapter plate is configured to operatively connect to a display device. A plurality of connecting arms are used to operatively connect the base plate to the adapter plate. Each of the plurality of connecting arms includes a base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with slots in the base plate and an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter plate. Movement of the base plate engagement portions within the base plate's slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate.

主权项

1. A mounting system for mounting a display unit to a wall, comprising:
a base portion having a rear surface configured to operatively connect to the wall, the base portion including an upper portion and a lower portion substantially parallel to the upper portion; an adapter portion; a device mount configured to operatively connect to a display device, the device mount pivotably coupled to the adapter portion; and a pair of connecting arms, each of the connecting arms including:
a base engagement portion extending between the upper portion and the lower portion of the base portion, the base engagement portion slidably translatable from a first position to a second position via a top portion of the base engagement portion sliding relative to the upper portion of the base portion and a bottom portion of the base engagement portion sliding relative to the lower portion of the base portion,an adapter engagement portion rotatably coupled to the adapter portion, andan intermediate portion extending between the adapter engagement portion and the base engagement portion, wherein the intermediate portion is selectively nested within the base portion when the base engagement portion is at the first position, wherein at least a substantial part of the intermediate portion is not nested within the base portion when the base engagement portion is at the second position; wherein a movement of each base engagement portion between the first position and the second position results in an outward translational movement of the adapter portion relative to the base portion, the outward translational movement increasing a distance between the adapter portion and the base portion when each base engagement portion is moved from the first position to the second position; wherein the adapter portion is selectively moveable about a first axis relative to the adapter engagement portions and relative to the base portion, the first axis being substantially parallel to the base engagement portions of the pair of connecting arms; and wherein the device mount is selectively moveable about a second axis relative to the adapter portion, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis.
