An improved mounting bracket that provides an indication to an installer when a mount is not correctly aligned. The mounting bracket comprises a mounting contact portion and at least one side portion integrally connected to the mounting contact portion, with the at least one side portion defining a receiving region for accepting one or more retaining portions of a mount. The at least one side portion includes a first ramped surface at least partially outside of the receiving region. The first ramped surface configured to contact a retaining portion when the retaining portion is misaligned with the receiving region, thereby informing an installer of the misalignment.

Mounting bracket

A mounting system comprising an incremental angular position and locking system. A tilt bracket is configured to operatively connect to a surface, and an adapter bracket is operatively and movably connected to the tilt bracket, with the adapter bracket being configured to operatively connect to an object such as an audio/video device. A plurality of angular position features are associated with one of the tilt bracket and the adapter bracket, and an angular positioning element is configured to selectively engage at least one of the plurality of angular position features. When the angular positioning element is in engaged with at least one angular position feature, the adapter bracket is impeded from moving relative to the tilt bracket. When the angular positioning element is not in engagement with at least one angular position feature, the adapter bracket is substantially free to move relative to the tilt bracket.

Incremental angular position and locking system for mounting devices

An improved mounting system for use with display units and other devices of various sizes. A mounting system of the present invention includes a surface mounting bracket and at least one device mounting bracket. At least one of the surface mounting bracket and the at least one device mounting bracket is expandable such that it is able to accommodate and support devices of different dimensions and weights.

Extension mechanism for a mounting system

A low profile moveable mounting system for mounting a device to a surface. According to various embodiments, a surface bracket is operatively connected to a surface member attachable to a surface, one or more hinged translation assemblies are rotatably connected to the surface bracket and rotatably connected to a device bracket adapted for operative connection to a device, and a link member rotatably connected to the surface bracket and the device bracket. The moveable mounting system is selectively tiltable and moveable between an extended orientation, where the device bracket is displaced substantially perpendicular from the surface and a retracted orientation, where the device bracket is positionable proximate the surface. The moveable mounting system may be particularly adapted for mounting a flat panel display device.
