Abstract

A flat panel display mounting system includes a wall plate and at least one monitor arm assembly. The monitor arm assembly includes a monitor arm mountable to the wall plate, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within an opening of the monitor arm. The leveling assembly is movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm. The leveling assembly includes a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon. The leveling assembly with the mounted display panel can be adjusted to obtain a desired location of the mounted display panel.

Claims (49)

1. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element; and

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having an opening, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within the opening thereof, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display,

wherein the leveling assembly defines a slot at which the leveling assembly is slidably coupled to the monitor arm.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor arm includes a rod unit slidably coupling the leveling assembly to the monitor arm at the slot.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the leveling assembly includes a support associated with the display mounting portion.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the support is made from metal material.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the leveling assembly extends longitudinally between first and second ends and is slidably coupled to the monitor arm between the first and second ends.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the leveling assembly includes plastic material.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display mounting portion has an opening extending therethrough at which the display can be mounted to the leveling assembly.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising:

a plurality of the monitor arm assemblies.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting element is a wall plate.

10. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element;

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having an opening, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within the opening thereof, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display; and

an actuator unit operable to move the leveling assembly along the length of the monitor arm.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actuator unit includes a rotatable element retained in a capture mechanism of the leveling assembly adapted to provide that the leveling assembly moves along the length of the monitor arm upon rotation of the rotatable element.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the leveling assembly includes a support associated with the display mounting portion.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the display mounting portion has an opening extending therethrough at which the display can be mounted to the leveling assembly.

14. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element; and

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having an opening, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within the opening thereof, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display,

wherein the leveling assembly extends longitudinally between first and second ends, wherein the display mounting portion has at least one slot at the first end and at least one aperture at the second end.

15. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element; and

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having an opening, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within the opening thereof, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display,

wherein an outer surface of the monitor arm includes leveling indicia.

16. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element; and

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having an opening, and a leveling assembly coupled to the monitor arm and arranged within the opening thereof, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display,

wherein the monitor arm includes a back wall having opposing first and second surfaces, the first surface facing the mounting element when the monitor arm is mounted to the mounting element, and wherein the display mounting portion includes a projecting portion adapted to space the mounted display from the second surface of the monitor arm.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second surface of the monitor arm has an opening aligned with the projecting portion.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the projecting portion defines an opening extending through the leveling assembly at which the display can be mounted to the leveling assembly.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the leveling assembly includes a support associated with the display mounting portion.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the display mounting portion has an opening extending therethrough at which the display can be mounted to the leveling assembly.

21. A flat panel display mounting system comprising:

a mounting element; and

a monitor arm assembly including a monitor arm mountable to the mounting element, the monitor arm having opening, and a leveling assembly longitudinally extending between first and second ends and arranged within the opening of the monitor arm, the leveling assembly including a portion disposed centrally between the first and second ends and having a longitudinally extending slot at which the monitor arm is coupled to the leveling assembly, the leveling assembly being movable relative to the monitor arm within the opening and along a length of the monitor arm,

the leveling assembly including a display mounting portion disposed between the portion with the slot and the first end or the second end and adapted to mount a flat panel display thereon, whereby the leveling assembly can be adjusted with the mounted display to obtain a desired location of the mounted display.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the display mounting portion has an opening extending therethrough at which the display can be mounted to the leveling assembly.

23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the slot of the leveling assembly has a length equal to the length of the monitor arm along which the leveling assembly can be moved.

24. The system of claim 21 , wherein the display mounting portion includes a projecting portion aligned with an opening in the monitor arm and adapted to space the mounted display from the monitor arm.

25. The system of claim 21 , wherein the mounting element is a wall plate.
