Abstract:
1. A mounting system for supporting a flat panel display on a wall, comprising: a wall plate; a carriage assembly slidably engaged with the wall plate; first and second arms rotatably connected to the carriage assembly at their respective first ends, wherein the first and second arms are connected by a first axle at their respective second ends distal from the first ends, the first end of each of the first and second arms being rotatably connected to the carriage assembly via an additional axle which is substantially parallel to the first axle; a third arm rotatably connected to the first axle at a first end of the third arm, wherein the third arm is positioned to allow rotation of the third arm relative to the respective second ends of the first and second arms; and a device mounting assembly operatively connected to a second end of the third arm distal from the first end of the third arm for supporting the flat panel display, wherein rotation of the first, second, and third arms relative to the first axle and the carriage assembly result in a first linear adjustment of the first axle substantially perpendicular to an axis defined by the first axle, and sliding of the carriage assembly results in a second linear adjustment of the carriage assembly substantially perpendicular to the axis defined by the first axle.
