Abstract:
1. A system for mounting a flat panel electronic display on a fixed structure, the system comprising: a mount bracket including a first portion having a periphery defining a plurality of spaced apart open notches and a pivot bracket adapted to attach to the fixed structure, the first portion being tiltably positionable with respect to the pivot bracket; a device interface bracket selectively removably receivable on the mount bracket and adapted to be attachable to the flat panel electronic display, the device interface bracket having a plurality of fastening buttons arranged in a polygonal or circular pattern, each fastening button having a base portion, a head portion, and a throat portion therebetween defining a slot, the fastening buttons spaced apart and positioned correspondingly with the notches of the mount bracket so that the slot of each fastening button receives the periphery of the mount bracket at a separate one of the notches when the device interface bracket is received on the mount bracket, wherein the device interface bracket is capable of being received on the mount bracket in at least two orientations at about 90 degrees relative to each other so that the flat panel electronic display can be selectively interchangeably oriented in at least a landscape and a portrait orientation; and an elongate latch arm operably coupled with the mount bracket proximate a first notch of the plurality of notches, the latch arm being selectively shiftable between a latched position wherein a portion of the latch arm is aligned with the first notch to engage and retain in position the fastening button of the device interface bracket received in the first notch when the device interface bracket is received on the mount bracket, and an unlatched position wherein the latch arm is positioned away from the first notch to enable the device interface bracket to be freely engaged and disengaged from the mount bracket.
