| 20080308697 | TILTABLE WALL MOUNTS - The invention relates to improvements in tiltable wall mounts, and in particular to a self-locking tiltable wall mount for a screen, such as a plasma display or television screen. The tiltable wall mount for a screen comprises wall attachment means for attaching the mount to a substantially vertical surface and screen attachment means for attaching a screen to the mount. The screen attachment means are pivotally connected at one end to one end of the wall attachment means. The wall mount also has a tilt mechanism interconnecting the mount and screen attachment means, said tilt mechanism comprising a locking device comprising at least one cam follower which is biased into abutment with a stepped cam surface projecting from the wall attachment means to prevent relative movement between the wall and screen attachment means. The locking device has means to release the cam follower from the cam surface when manual pressure is applied to enable the screen mount means to pivot and tilt relative to the wall mount means. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080315052 | HUBS FOR WALL MOUNTING SYSTEMS - The invention relates to improvements in hubs for wall mounting systems for screens, and in particular to a hub for a wall mounting system for a flat panel screen, such as a plasma display or television screen, which enables the screen to be tilted. The hub comprises a casing, means for attaching the hub to a screen bracket, means for attaching the hub to an arm of a wall mount, and a tilt member. The tilt member has a sliding member which is located within an arcuate cavity in the casing such that the sliding member and casing are slidable relative to each other to enable a screen attached to the mounting system to be tilted about a horizontal pivot axis. The arc is defined by the cavity having its centre, which forms the pivot axis, offset from the centre of gravity of the screen. The hub further comprises a compression spring located within the casing and biased to provide a counterbalancing force so that the screen remains stationery in any position. | 12-25-2008 |
