Abstract
The present invention provides a mounting system for securely mounting display equipment, such as a monitor or a display screen. The mounting system comprises: a support structure () to which the display equipment (D) is to be mounted to thereby support the display equipment (D); and a mounting component () adapted to be rigidly attached to the display equipment, the mounting component () comprising mounting means () for mounting the display equipment to the support structure (). The support structure () comprises a first support frame (), the first support frame having a plurality of connection means () for secure connection with the mounting means () of the mounting component (). In one aspect of the invention, the plurality of connection means () are arranged and adapted for selective connection with the mounting means () thereby to select and/or adjust the position of the display equipment (D) in two dimensions relative to the support structure (). Thus, the plurality of connection means () are distributed in an array over an area of the first support frame () for selective connection with the mounting means (), with each of the plurality of connection means () being adapted to engage and securely fasten with the mounting means () of the mounting component (). In another aspect of the invention, the support structure () includes a second support frame (), and the first support frame () is adapted for adjustable sliding movement relative to the second support frame ().
