Flip-down frame for a ceiling-mounted television

1. A pivotable TV frame apparatus, comprising: a fixed frame for mounting to a surface, the fixed frame comprising a first linear actuator on a first side, and a second linear actuator on a second side, wherein said first and second linear actuators allow a user to adjust the position of the TV, until the desired viewing angle is achieved; a pivoting frame having a first pivoting bracket on a first side and a second pivoting bracket on a second side, the pivoting brackets configured to pivot around the fixed frame; wherein the first pivoting bracket of the pivoting frame is coupled, at a first location, to the first linear actuator of the fixed frame, and is further coupled, at a second location, to the fixed frame; wherein the second pivoting bracket is coupled, at a first location, to the second linear actuator of the fixed frame, and is further coupled, at a second location, to the second linear actuator of the fixed frame; wherein when the first and second linear actuators are fully extended, the pivoting frame is received within the fixed frame and the first and second linear actuators remain parallel to the fixed frame; and wherein when the first and second linear actuators are not fully extended, the pivoting brackets are at least partially extended around the fixed frame and the pivoting frame is angled relative to the fixed frame while the first and second linear actuators remain parallel to the fixed frame.

2. The pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of mounting brackets coupled to the fixed frame.

3. The pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a channel running about the circumference of the fixed frame, the channel configured to receive construction materials from a structure to which it is mounted.

4. A method of mounting a TV to a ceiling using the pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 1 , the method comprising securing the fixed frame to the ceiling using a plurality of bolts, providing power to the first and second linear actuators, mounting a TV to the pivoting frame, and selectively powering the first and second linear actuators to position the pivoting frame and TV mounted thereto to the desired viewing angle.

5. A pivotable TV frame apparatus, comprising: a fixed frame comprising four frame members configured and welded to form a rectangle; a pivoting frame comprising four frame members configured and welded to form a rectangle sized so as to be nestable within the fixed frame, and further comprising two pivoting brackets mounted on a first end at opposing sides; the pivoting brackets being coupled to the fixed frame using bolts; a first linear actuator mounted on the fixed frame on a first side, the rod of the first linear actuator being coupled to the first pivoting bracket, a second linear actuator being mounted on the fixed frame on a second side, the rod of the second linear actuator being coupled to the second pivoting bracket, wherein said first and second linear actuators allow a user to adjust the position of the TV, until the desired viewing angle is achieved; the first and second linear actuators being electronically controlled; wherein when the rods of the first and second linear actuators are fully-extended, the pivoting frame is nested within the fixed frame; and wherein when the rods of the first and second linear actuators are at least partially retracted, the pivoting brackets are at least partially extended around the fixed frame and the pivoting frame is angled in relation to the fixed frame; and the first and second linear actuators remain parallel to the fixed frame when extended and retracted.

6. The pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of mounting brackets coupled to the fixed frame.

7. The pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising a channel running about the circumference of the fixed frame, the channel configured to receive ceiling materials.

8. The pivotable TV frame apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second linear actuators are electronically controlled.
