Description
- The present invention generally relates to video monitor wall mounts. More specifically, the invention is directed to a wall mount that can be switched between a fixed upright angle and an adjustable tilt angle.
- Current video monitor technology is moving rapidly to flat screens. LCD and plasma screens are popular flat screen products. These flat screens can be mounted in a traditional manner on a horizontal surface by placement on a stand. It is also now popular to mount flat screens on a wall. Video monitor wall mounts either have an adjustable tilt or a fixed position. Retailers use valuable shelf space to stock each type of product. Consumers are forced to choose one type of mount or the other before even using the product; whereas, consumers often do not decide what they prefer until after having a chance to try both configurations where they choose to install it. Consumers also sometimes change the location of their video monitors and would prefer to change the configuration of their wall mount once they relocate it.
- Other problems with mounting flat screens onto a wall include making sure that the screen is level. Also, a cord or cords that are connected to the back of the flat screen monitor can give a messy appearance. Further, rotating support arms can be “sticky” and prevent easy rotation of the mounted monitor. Finally, the installation process itself can be difficult or frustrating. An installer may never know if the mount is actually properly placed together. Improperly assembled mounts can be less stable than properly assembled mounts.
- It is an object of this invention, therefore, to overcome the deficiencies and obstacles described above.
- One aspect of the present invention provides a method for configuring a video monitor mount from a fixed upright angle to an adjustable tilt angle, the method includes releasing a first monitor attachment and a second monitor attachment from a wall mount, the wall mount including a mating lip with a top edge and a bottom edge, the first monitor attachment including a first bar receiver opening and the second monitor attachment including a second bar receiver opening.
