Abstract
Description
- This invention is directed to a motorized mounting system capable of adjusting the viewing angle of a monitor based on an input signal from a remote control.
- Flat panel monitors such as computer monitors, TFT, LCD, plasma, slim televisions, and the like (collectively referred to as “monitor(s)”) are becoming popular because they can be mounted against a wall to save floor space and for their aesthetically pleasing appearance. In general, monitors are mounted to a wall with a mechanical support arm or a bracket then fixed in a desired orientation to maximize the viewing angle of the monitor. To later adjust the viewing angle of the monitor, however, a viewer generally tilts the monitor manually to a new viewing angle so that the viewer may more comfortably view the monitor from a different location or to deflect a glare on the monitor away from the viewer. For instance, a monitor may be fixed to a wall in a family room to allow the family members or one viewer to view the monitor at the desired viewing angle. As the viewer moves from one area to another area, such as from the family room to the kitchen, the viewer may not be able to view the monitor. In addition, in situations where the monitor is mounted in a remote location or high above the floor, it may be inconvenient for the viewer to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor.
- Another limitation with the support arm is that there is a limit as to how much weight the support arm can handle. That is, as the support arm is extended to support a monitor further away from the wall, the weight of the monitor applies bending load on the support arm. The bending load on the support arm increases as the distance between the monitor and the wall increases. Bending loads can apply extreme stress on the support arm. As such, with heavier monitors, support arms are not generally used. Rather, wall mounts are used to attach the heavier monitors to a wall with the viewing angle fixed at a predetermined orientation. The wall mounts do allow for some tilting of the monitor but do not allow the monitor to extend from the wall. Accordingly, there is a need for a mounting system that can mount a larger and heavier monitor to a wall and allow the viewing angle of the monitor to be more easily adjusted.
- This invention is directed to a mounting system capable of adjusting the viewing angle of a flat panel monitor. The mounting system includes a plurality of motorized arms adapted to couple to the back side of a monitor. A processor controls the actuation of the plurality of motorized arms to extend or retract each of the motorized arms independently relative to a mounting surface such as wall. As an example, the mounting system may include three motorized arms that are coupled to the back side of the monitor in a triangular configuration. By independently varying the distance of the three arms with respect to the mounting surface, the angle of the plane defined by the three arms may be adjusted or the viewing angle of the monitor. The processor may be controlled by the input signal from a remote control so that the viewing angle of the monitor may be adjusted remotely.
- Other systems, methods, features, and advantages of the invention will be, or will become, apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following figures and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, features, and advantages be included within this description, be within the scope of the invention, and be protected by the following claims.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a mounting system 10 in reference to X, Y, and Z axes. The mounting system 10 includes a plurality of arms where each arm may move independently with respect to each other. In this example, the mounting system 10 may have three arms where each arm is able to extend or retract independently relative to afirst mounting surface 2. The distal ends of the three arms may be pivotably coupled to thesecond mounting surface 4. The three distal ends of the three arms define a plane that can be adjusted relative to thefirst mounting surface 2 by extending or retracting the distal ends independently, as further explained below. Thefirst arm 3 may includebeams 12 and 14, the second arm 5 may includebeams third arm 7 may includebeams beams pivot axis 31. The second arm 5 may be positioned between the first andthird arms - The mounting system 10 also includes
motors motors 24 and 28 may be coupled to theirrespective screws motor 26 may be coupled to ahinge 32 to rotate the hinge along its longitudinal axis. In this example, themotors 24 and 28 may be located along the longitudinal axes of theirrespective screws motors 24 and 28 may be located between their respective screws anduniversal pivot joints screws more support walls 42. Thesupport walls 42 may be adapted to allow thescrews - The first or
proximal ends beams 12 and 20, respectively, may be pivotably coupled tosleeves 40 and 44, respectively. Thesleeves 40 and 44 may be threaded to receive thescrews sleeves 40 and 44 move or slide along theirrespective screws distal ends 12B and 20B extend or retract relative to thefirst mounting surface 2. Thesecond ends 12B and 20B may be pivotably coupled to thesecond mounting surface 4 at locations 9 and 11, respectively. Thesecond ends 12B and 20B of thebeams 12 and 20, respectively, may be adapted to pivotably couple to thesecond mounting surface 4 so that the viewing angle of thesecond mounting surface 4 may be adjusted by moving thesleeves 40 and 44 along theirrespective screws second ends 12B and 20B to independently or simultaneously extend or retract relative to the XY-plane to adjust the viewing angle of thesecond mounting surface 4. Thesecond end 16B of thebeam 16 may be pivotably coupled to mountingsurface 4 at alocation 13. Note thatlocations 9, 11, and 13 may be located at the back side of the monitor forming a triangular configuration with thelocation 13 between the locations 9 and 11. - The mounting system 10 also includes a remote control 15 adapted to communicate with a
processor 17 to adjust the viewing angle of thesecond mounting surface 4 such as a monitor. The remote control 15 may send wireless signals to areceiver 19 which is communicably coupled to theprocessor 17. The processor may be also communicably coupled to amemory 21 that stores predetermined desired viewing angles so that a viewer may push a preset button on the remote 15 to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor to the desired viewing angle previously stored in the memory. The remote control 15 includes a tilt upbutton 23, tilt downbutton 25, swivelleft button 27, swivelright button 29, extendbutton 31, and a retract button 33. As explained in more detail below, a viewer may push any of the above buttons to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor to a desired viewing angle. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the mounting system 10 illustrating the second andthird arms 5 and 7. Note that in this example, thefirst arm 3 is substantially similar to the description to thethird arm 7 below. Thebeam 22 may pivot about apivot point 50 relative to the hinge 52. The hinge 52 may rotate about a pin 54 along the longitudinal axis of thescrew 34. Thefirst end 20A of thebeam 20 may be pivotably coupled to thesleeve 44 at apivot point 56, and thesecond end 20B of thebeam 20 may be pivotably coupled to the pivot point 58 at abracket 60 used to attach the mounting system 10 to the back side of second mountingsurface 4 such as a flat panel monitor, for example. Thebeam 22 may be pivotably coupled to thebeam 20 at about itsmidpoint 60. In addition, the length of thebeam 20, as defined by the distance between the twopivot points 56 and 58, may be about twice as long as the length ofbeam 22, as defined by the distance between the twopivot points sleeve 44 moves along thescrew 34, thesecond end 20B extends or retracts substantially along the XZ plane with minimal movement, if any, along the Y axis. - With the
second end 20B moving substantially along the XZ plane, themotor 28 substantially extends or retracts thesecond end 20B to push or pull themonitor 4 relative to the first mountingsurface 2 such that themonitor 4 does not move along the Y-axis by thearm 7. For example, if the gravitational force is along the negative Y-axis, thearm 7 does not lift the monitor. Without the need to lift the monitor, such as a 42 inch plasma TV weighing about 70 pounds, smaller size motors may be used to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor. With a smaller size motor, themotor 28 may be located between the hinge 52 and thescrew 34, along with a gear box 62 and acoupler 64. The coupler 63 mounts the gear box 62 to thescrew 34 so that torque from themotor 28 may be transferred to thescrew 34 for rotation. As themotor 28 rotates thescrew 34, thesleeve 44 may move along the longitudinal axis of the screw to extend or retract thesecond end 20B of thebeam 20. -
FIG. 2 also snows a side view of the second arm 5 where the twobeams pivot axis 31, The second ordistal end 16B of thebeam 16 is pivotably coupled the second mountingsurface 4 at apivot point 66. The length of the twobeams motor 26 may pivot thebeam 18 about thehinge 32 to cause thebeam 18 pivot to cause thepivot axis 31 to move along apredetermined arcing motion 68, which in turn causes thepivot point 66 to move along an arcingmotion 70. This allows themonitor 4 to tilt about the pivot point 58. Accordingly, as thebeam 18 is rotated in a clockwise direction, thepivot point 66 extends from the first mountingsurface 2; and conversely, as thebeam 18 is rotated in a counter clockwise direction, thepivot point 66 retracts toward the first mountingsurface 2. -
FIG. 2 shows that when a viewer activates the tilt upbutton 23 of the remote control 15, theprocessor 17 may control themotors surface 2 than thesecond end 16B, thereby tilting themonitor 4 upwards.FIG. 3 shows that when a viewer activates the tilt downbutton 25, theprocessor 17 may control themotors second end 16B extend further from the first mountingsurface 2 than the second ends 12B and 20B, thereby tilting themonitor 4 downwards.FIG. 4 shows that when a viewer activates the swivelright button 29, theprocessor 17 may control themotors first arm 3 extends further along the Z-axis than thethird arm 7, thereby swiveling themonitor 4 in a counter-clockwise direction along the XZ plane. Conversely,FIG. 5 shows that when a viewer activates the swivel leftbutton 27, theprocessor 17 may control themotors third arm 7 extends further along the Z-axis than thearm 3, thereby swiveling themonitor 4 in a clockwise direction along the XZ plane. With the remote control 15, the monitor may be extended or retracted from a wall by extending or retracting the second ends 12B, 16B, and 20B at a same rate. -
FIG. 4 shows that thehinge 32 may be substantially prevented from pivoting along the XZ plane but allowed to pivot about the X-axis. As the second arm 5 extends and retracts, thehinge 32 maintains the second arm 5 substantially perpendicular with the first mountingsurface 2. The first andthird arms respective screws monitor 4 from clockwise to counter-clockwise directions.FIGS. 4 and 5 also show the first mounting surface may be adapted to attach towooden studs 72 within a wall to mount the mounting system 10 against the wall. -
FIG. 6 shows a rotatable joint 74 that may be used to pivot the second ends 12B, 16B, and 20B atlocations 9, 13, and 11, respectively, along the second mountingsurface 4. The rotatable joint 74 includes asocket 76 adapted to house around head 78. Theround head 78 may also have a threadedportion 80 that attaches to the second end of the beams.FIG. 7 shows that thesocket 76 may have acircular cavity 82 that allows theround head 78 to rotate therein. Thesocket 76 may have threadedopenings 84 adapted to receive bolts to attach the rotatable joint 74 to the second mountingsurface 4. Thesocket 76 may also have a cut out area 86 to allow the threaded portion to move around the cut out area 86. - While various embodiments of the invention have been described, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many more embodiments and implementations are possible within the scope of this invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be restricted except in light of the attached claims and their equivalents.
