Tilting television wall mount
A display wall mount comprising a wall bracket configured to couple to a wall and having a first wall bracket edge, a display bracket configured to couple to the display and having a first display bracket edge, and a curvilinear bar moveably coupled between the first wall bracket edge and the first display bracket edge. The display bracket is moveably coupled to the wall bracket.
1. A display wall mount, comprising:
a planar wall bracket for attachment to a wall;
a planar display bracket for attachment of a display, the display bracket having a bottom edge pivotally attached to a bottom edge of the wall bracket for relative rotary movement of a display bracket top edge about a first hinge axis toward or away from a wall bracket top edge;
an arcuate bar having a first end pivotally attached to one of the wall bracket or display bracket for relative rotary movement about a first pivot axis, an intermediate portion, and a second end including a stop; and
a clamp assembly pivotally attached to the other of the wall bracket or display bracket for relative rotary movement about a second pivot axis; the clamp assembly defining a channel capturing the bar intermediate portion between the first end and the stop during the relative rotary movement about the first pivot axis, and including a manually settable clamping member for releasably securing the bar at a set angular position within the channel.
2. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the bar first end is attached to the top edge of one of the wall bracket or display bracket; and the clamp assembly is attached to the top edge of the other of the wall bracket or display bracket.
3. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the clamp assembly comprises first and second clamp blocks; and first and second spacers joining the first and second clamp blocks; the channel being defined between the first and second clamp blocks and the first and second spacers.
4. The mount of claim 3 , wherein the spacers include bearings; and the bar intermediate portion is captured between the bearings.
5. The mount of claim 4 , wherein the spacers include threaded fasteners securing the bearings between the first and second clamp blocks.
6. The mount of claim 5 , wherein the manually settable clamping member comprises a thumb screw.
7. The mount of claim 6 , wherein the threaded fasteners comprise bolts.
8. The mount of claim 3 , wherein the arcuate bar is a flat bar having planar upper and lower surfaces captured between correspondingly planar opposing surfaces of the respective first and second clamp blocks.
9. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the bar first end is also pivotally attached to the one bracket for relative rotary movement also about a second hinge axis; and the clamp assembly is also pivotally attached to the other bracket for relative rotary movement also about a third hinge axis.
10. The mount of claim 9 , further including a first hinge attaching the bar first end to the one bracket for the relative rotary movement about the second hinge axis; and a second hinge attaching the clamp assembly to the other bracket for the relative movement about the third hinge axis.
11. The mount of claim 10 , further including a first pivot pin attaching the bar first end to the first hinge for the relative rotary movement about the first pivot axis; and a second pivot pin attaching the clamp assembly to the second hinge for the relative rotary movement about the second pivot axis.
12. The mount of claim 11 , wherein the first and second pivot axes are parallel to each other, and are orthogonal to the first, second and third hinge axes.
13. The mount of claim 12 , further including a clamp bracket having a first end attached to the second hinge, and a second end attached to the clamp assembly.
14. The mount of claim 13 , wherein the clamp bracket is attached to the clamp assembly by the second pivot pin.
15. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the stop is a stop pin.
16. A display wall mount, comprising:
a planar wall bracket for attachment to a wall;
a planar display bracket for attachment of a display, the display bracket having a bottom edge pivotally attached to a bottom edge of the wall bracket for relative rotary movement of a display bracket top edge about a first horizontal axis toward or away from a wall bracket top edge;
a first hinge attached to the top edge of the wall bracket;
a second hinge attached to the top edge of the display bracket;
an arcuate bar having a first end, an intermediate portion, and a second end including a stop;
a first pin member pivotally attaching the bar first end to the first hinge for rotary movement of the bar about a first pivot axis relative to the first hinge, and for rotary movement of the bar about a second horizontal axis relative to the wall bracket;
a clamp assembly defining a channel capturing the bar intermediate portion between the first end and the stop during the relative rotary movement about the first pivot axis, and including a manually settable clamping member for releasably securing the bar at a set position about the first pivot axis within the channel; and
a second pin member pivotally attaching the clamping member to the second hinge for rotary movement of the clamping member about a second pivot axis relative to the second hinge, and for rotary movement of the clamping member about a third horizontal axis relative to the display bracket.
17. The mount of claim 16 , wherein the clamp assembly comprises first and second clamp blocks; and first and second spacers joining the first and second clamp blocks; the channel being defined between the first and second clamp blocks and the first and second spacers.
18. The mount of claim 17 , wherein the spacers include bearings; and the bar intermediate portion is captured between the bearings.
19. The mount of claim 18 , wherein the spacers include threaded fasteners securing the bearings between the first and second clamp blocks.
20. The mount of claim 19 , wherein the arcuate bar is a flat bar having planar upper and lower surfaces captured between correspondingly planar opposing surfaces of the respective first and second clamp blocks.
21. The mount of claim 20 , wherein the manually settable clamping member comprises a thumb screw.
22. The mount of claim 21 , wherein the threaded fasteners comprise bolts.
23. The mount of claim 22 , wherein the stop is a stop pin.
