     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention is directed to a wall mount system for mounting television or computer monitors to a wall. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a wall mount system having adjustment features for positioning the monitor in a desired orientation when mounted on uneven or contoured walls. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Television or computer monitors are often mounted on walls in restaurants, malls and similar settings with wall mounts to provide dynamically changing display updatable décor or information to viewers. Similarly, wall mounting of monitors in the home has also substantially increased in popularity. A wall mount also typically includes a monitor bracket engagable to the corresponding mounting features on the rear of the monitor. A wall mount also typically includes at least one wall bracket for securing the wall mount to the wall or underlying structure. Wall brackets often include a substantial foot print on the wall to distribute the weight of the monitor over a large portion of the wall. Typically, the wall bracket includes a large plate or frame positioned against the wall and secured with a plurality of fasteners to provide multiple anchor points between the wall and the wall mount. A tight fit between the wall bracket and the wall is necessary to prevent wobbling of the wall bracket, which can cause the fasteners to separate from the wall. Wall mounts are often incompatible with uneven or contoured walls where the wall mount is affixed over recesses or raised wall portions or the wall mount and correspondingly the monitor must be positioned in an awkward location on the wall. 
         [0004]    A similar challenge is that wall mounted monitors are often used to form displays having a large viewable area such that the display can be viewed or read from a distance. Oversized or non-standard sized display monitors are often disproportionately more expensive than smaller monitors. Similarly, the display often includes a unique shape, such as an L-shape, to provide a desired aesthetic appearance or fit the display within the desired space. Typically, multiple conventionally sized monitors are arranged edge-to-edge to provide the desired display size or shape rather than a mounting a single oversized or uniquely shaped monitor. 
         [0005]    In these configurations, each monitor is individually mounted to the wall and oriented to position the monitor into alignment with the adjoining monitors to present a continuous planar display. An individual wall mount is typically required for each monitor to ensure that the weight of each monitor is sufficiently supported. The inherent challenge with this arrangement is that each monitor must be individually oriented to present a single continuous display in a single plane. In particular, the alignment of the monitors is further complicated when the monitors are mounted to an uneven or contoured walls in which the recesses and raised portions of the wall change the relative initial depth of the mounting bracket of each monitor resulting in an uneven display. The issue is further complicated with large monitors where the weight of the monitor itself makes positioning and orienting the monitor more challenging. In addition, the increased weight of the monitor decreases the possible distance the monitor can be positioned away from the wall as the increased leverage could cause the fasteners to separate from the wall. 
         [0006]    The inherent challenge of mounting monitors on uneven or contoured walls creates a need for mounting monitors to non-planar walls while still positioning the monitor in the desired orientation. Similarly, there is need for a means of aligning the multiple monitors positioned on non-planar walls to present a continuous, planar display. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    A wall mount system, according to an embodiment of the present invention, can include a plurality of wall mount assemblies, at least one guide bar and a plurality of monitor mount assemblies. Generally, the wall mount assemblies can be affixed to the wall to position a guide bar in a generally horizontal orientation such that the monitor mount assemblies can be hung on the guide bar or otherwise engaged to the guide bar. Each wall mount assembly can include a depth adjustment feature for expanding or contracting each wall mount assembly independently of the adjacent wall mount assemblies. The independent depth adjustment feature allows the wall mount assemblies to be individually adjusted to account for recesses and raised portions of the wall such that the linear guide bar can intersect each wall mount assembly without bending the linear guide bar. The linear guide bar positions the monitor mount assemblies along a single axis rather than at varying depths such as when the monitor mount assemblies are mounted directly to the uneven or contoured wall. Accordingly, the guide bar facilitates edge-to-edge alignment of the monitors. 
         [0008]    In certain embodiments of the present invention, each wall mount assembly can include a wall bracket, a base bracket and a depth adjustment assembly for moving the base bracket relative to the wall bracket along a linear axis to expand or contract the wall mount assembly. Each wall bracket can be positioned against a wall and affixed to the wall, wherein the depth adjustment assembly can be operated to move the base bracket to align an aperture of the base bracket with a corresponding aperture of the base bracket of an adjacent wall mount assembly. Each of the plurality of wall brackets can be individually expanded or contracted depending on the contours of the underlying wall while maintaining alignment of the base brackets. The guide bar can then be inserted through the aligned apertures to position the guide bar in a generally horizontal orientation such that monitor mounts can be hung on the guide bar. The individual depth adjustability of the wall mount assemblies provides continuous support for the guide bar regardless of whether the wall bracket is affixed to a recessed or raised portion of the wall. 
         [0009]    In certain embodiments, each base bracket can further include a traveler mounted on a worm screw and positioned within the aperture. In this configuration, the aperture is elongated vertically such that the traveler can be moved vertically within the aperture by rotating the worm screw. The traveler can be operably engaged to the guide bar such that moving the traveler by rotating the worm screw raises or lowers the base bracket relative to the guide bar. The traveler provides an additional point of variability in the wall mount assembly to account for unevenness or contouring of the wall. 
         [0010]    A wall mount system, according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a plurality of wall mount assemblies, at least one guide bar, and a plurality of monitor mount assemblies. Each wall mount assembly can further include a wall bracket, a base bracket and a depth adjustment assembly for moving the wall bracket relative to the base bracket along a linear axis. The base bracket can further include an aperture for slidably receiving the at least one guide bar. Each monitor mount includes a hanger element and a mount element pivotably engaged to the hanger element, wherein the hanger element is engagable to the guide bar inserted through the apertures of the base brackets. The mount element can be pivoted relative to the mount element to change the pivot of the mounted monitor. 
         [0011]    A wall mount system, according to an embodiment, can include a plurality of wall bracket assemblies, a guide bar assembly and a plurality of monitor mount assemblies. Generally, wall tracks can be affixed to the wall in a generally horizontal orientation such that a depth adjustment assembly can be hung on the wall track or otherwise engaged to the wall track. Each wall mount system can include a depth adjustment feature for expanding or contracting each wall mount system independently of the adjacent wall mount systems. Each wall mount system can include a tilt adjustment feature for tilting of each wall mount system independently of the adjacent wall mount systems. Each wall mount system can include a skew adjustment feature for skewing each wall mount system independently of the adjacent wall mount systems. Each wall mount system can include a horizontal inclination or declination adjustment feature for horizontal inclining or declining each wall mount system independently of the adjacent wall mount systems. The independent depth adjustment, tilt adjustment, skew adjustment, and horizontal adjustment features allow the wall mount systems to be individually adjusted to account for recesses and raised portions of the wall such that the wall track can intersect each wall mount system without bending the wall track. The wall mount system positions the monitor mount assemblies along a single axis rather than at varying depths such as when the monitor mount assemblies are mounted directly to the uneven or contoured wall. Accordingly, the wall mount system facilitates edge-to-edge alignment of the monitors. 
         [0012]    A method of presenting a continuous, planar display from a plurality of monitors, according to an embodiment of the present invention, can include providing a plurality of wall mount assemblies, wherein each wall mount assembly can further include a wall bracket, a base bracket and a depth adjustment assembly adjustably linking the wall bracket to the base bracket. The method can further include affixing each wall bracket to a wall. In certain embodiments, the wall brackets can be positioned on the wall along a generally horizontal axis. The method can also include operating each depth adjustment assembly to move the corresponding base bracket relative to the wall bracket and along an axis perpendicular to the wall to align the base brackets along a single horizontal axis. The method can further include inserting at least one guide bar through an aperture in each base bracket such that the wall mount assemblies support the guide bar. 
         [0013]    The method can also include providing a plurality of monitor mount assemblies each having a hanger element and a monitor element pivotably engaged to the hanger element. The method can further include slidably engaging each hanger element to the guide bar. The method can also include mounting a monitor to each monitor element. In certain embodiments, each hanger element can be slid along the guide bar to move the monitors horizontally to position the monitors in an edge-to-edge configuration. Similarly, in certain embodiments, each monitor element can be rotated to orient the monitors. 
         [0014]    A wall mount system, according to an embodiment of the present invention, can include a wall mount assembly, an adjustment assembly, a guide bar assembly and a monitor mount assembly. Generally, the wall mount assembly can be positioned against the wall and secured to the wall. The adjustment assembly can be positioned on the wall mount assembly and operated to move a guide bar assembly relative to the wall mount assembly. Specifically, the adjustment assembly can include an elevation assembly for raising or lowering the guide bar assembly relative to the wall mount assembly so as to adjust the vertical position of a connected display relative to the wall. Similarly, the adjustment assembly can also include an adjustment assembly for moving the guide bar assembly toward or away from the wall mount assembly and correspondingly the wall. In addition, the engagement between the wall mount assembly and the guide bar assembly can adjusted to angle the guide bar assembly. The guide bar assembly includes a pair of parallel guide bars engagable by the monitor mount assembly, wherein the orienting of the guide bar assembly by the adjustment assembly correspondingly changes the positioning of the guide bars and any attached monitor mount assembly. The adjustability of the adjustment assembly allows the wall mount to be positioned in a more suitable portion of the wall, such as a more planar portion, without sacrificing the desired position of the monitor. 
         [0015]    In certain embodiments, the wall mount assembly can include a pair of elongated wall tracks that can be affixed horizontally on the wall and can further include at least one pair of wall plates extending between the horizontally positioned wall tracks. An extension assembly and an elevation assembly are positioned on each wall plate, wherein the guide bar assembly is suspended between each pair of wall tracks. In this configuration, the wall tracks can be elongated to permit multiple pairs of wall plates and corresponding guide bar assemblies to be mounted the pair of wall tracks such that multiple monitors can be mounted a single pair of wall tracks. The single pair of wall tracks operates to provide a level mounting position for the each monitor mounted on one of the guide bar assemblies vertically aligned. 
         [0016]    In certain embodiments, each monitor mount can include a mount plate having a pair of hook elements for slidably engaging the horizontally oriented guide bars. In certain configurations, the hook elements rely on gravity to maintain the engagement to the guide bars. In other configurations, the hook elements are adapted to receive fasteners for fixing the hook portions to the guide bars. In yet other embodiments, the hook elements can be spring biased to close around the guide bars to prevent disengagement from the guide bar assembly. In this configuration, the monitor mount assembly can further include a pull wire that can be pulled to over the biasing and open the hook elements. In certain embodiments, the monitor mount assembly can further include a lateral adjustment assembly for moving the monitor mount assembly horizontally along the guide bars providing another degree of adjustability to the wall mount system. 
         [0017]    In certain embodiments, each adjustment assembly can include a lift plate, a primary extension plate, an elevation assembly and an extension assembly. The elevation assembly can include a worm gear rotatable by handle and can further include a traveler affixed to the lift plate. The worm gear is operably engaged to a corresponding wall plate such that rotation of the worm gear moves the traveler affixed to the lift plate, which in turn elevates the adjustment assembly and guide bar assembly. Similarly, the extension assembly further includes a worm gear positioned on the lift plate and a traveler affixed to a secondary extension plate through an elongated guide notch in the lift plate. The guide notch is angled such that moving the traveler causes the secondary extension plate to move outwards as the traveler is moved by the rotation of the worm gear. In certain embodiments, the secondary extension plate includes a spindle receivable within a second guide notch in the primary extension plate. The second guide notch is transverse to the first guide notch such that the extension of the secondary extension plate by the movement of the traveler causes the spindle to move within the second guide notch causing extension of the primary extension plate.

         [0118]    In operation, wall mount system  510  is generally used in a substantially retracted position so that latch  5106  engages with casing  5102  at lip  5104 . Sprocket casing  5102  and sprocket  5100  are vertically adjustable to ensure that latch  5106  engages with casing  5102  at various retracted positions. Sprocket assembly  594  is configured to travel in sprocket guide notch  5106  thus maintaining the latched position based on various retracted positions. Rotation of worm gear  590  provides that depth and skew of monitor  512  are relationally adjusted and sprocket assembly  594  is further configured to slidingly adjust to maintain a latched status. Latch  5106  can be disengaged from lip  5104  by application of a downward force on the rod  5104 . 
         [0119]    In some embodiments, downward force on rod  5104  can be provided via pull line  5108 . Pull lines  5108  can be provided at each end of rod  5104 . In other embodiments, pull lines  5108  can be provided at one end of rod  5104  or substantially centered on rod  5104 . Pull line  5108  is pulled to and overcomes the pressure of latch  5106  engagement with casing  5102  thereby releasing or disengaging depth adjustment assembly  522  into a disengaged position. In certain embodiments, pull line  5108  can further include loop  5110  for more efficient application of a pull force to pull line  5108 .

Tilt adjustment assembly  524  includes at least one mounting plate  525  guide bar notch  527  to receive at least one projection  555 , having a threaded spindle  551 . Projection  555  is disposed on depth guide channel  550  so that guide bar assembly  518  is operably engaged with depth guide channel  550 . Projection  555  is sized so that projection  555  is shorter than guide bar notch  527  allowing guide bar notch  527  to move in a substantially longitudinal direction along projection  555 . Washer  557  and nut  559  are placed over spindle  551  and nut  559  is threadingly engaged with spindle  551 . 
         [0122]    Tilt adjustment assembly  524  further includes worm gear  568  having handle  570  attached to mounting plate  525  and receiver  572  having a threaded bore hole attached to the depth guide channel  550  that operably engages with worm gear  568 . Guide bar assembly  518  is moved relative to wall bracket assembly  520  so that guide bar assembly  518  is rotated about a horizontal axis H thus moving projection  555  within guide bar notch  527  thus creating a tilt in mounted monitor  512 . In addition, worm gear  568  is rotated via handle  570  to make precise adjustments to the tilt of the monitor  512 . Once the monitor  512  is positioned, nut  559  is tightened so that tilt adjustment assembly  524  is held in place. 
         [0123]    As depicted in  FIGS. 47-49 and 55-58 , the wall mount system  510  further includes monitor mount assembly  516  with at least two monitor mount channels  574 . In an embodiment, each channel  574  can further include a pair of hook plates  580  slidingly attached to a flange on channel  574  near the top and bottom via guide notches  582 , each hook plate having a top hook element  576 . Each channel  574  can further include at least one bottom hook plate  584  attached to the channel  574  flange near the bottom via a fastener, the bottom hook plate having a bottom hook element  577 . Each monitor mount channel  574  further includes a worm drive  584  having a handle  585 , the worm drive received by a threaded receiver  586 . 
         [0124]    In embodiments, as depicted in  FIGS. 59 and 60 , the wall mount system  510  further includes a cable release system  5200  having a release mechanism  5208 . The release mechanism  5208  includes a stop element  5206 , a plate  588 , a stop leg  592 , tension springs  5210 ,  5212 , and a cable housing stop  5214 . The release mechanism  5208  operates in concert with the release handle  5202  and the cable  5204  to release the latch  5106 . In an embodiment, two release mechanisms  5208  are provided, one on each depth guide channel  550 . The release handle  5202  can be attached to the lower guide bar  528  so that when the wall mount system  510  is attached to a structure, the release handle  5202  is accessible to a user. 
         [0125]    Cable  5204  is provided to span the distance between the stop element  5206  and the release handle  5202 . Cable  5204  is a two part cable having a wire  5216  and an outer housing  5218 . Attached to the ends of the wire  5216  are “Z” type cable end fittings  5220 . While “Z” fittings  5220  are shown, it is understood to one with skill in the art that any type of fitting can be provided as long as it is able to be anchored to the release handle  5202  and the stop element  5206 , for example, but not limited to, shank, eye, fork, thimble, etc. fittings. The “Z” fittings  5220  are removably attached, at one end, to the release handle  5202  and, at the other end, to the stop element  5206 . Stop nuts  5222  are provided at each end of the cable housing  5218  and are anchored at cable housing stops  5214  thus preventing the cable outer housing  5218  from moving while still allowing the wire  5216  to move freely as the release handle  5202  is rotated. 
         [0126]    In operation, wall mount system  10  is generally used in a substantially retracted position so that latch  5106  is pulled into position by tension spring  5212  and engages with stop element  5206  thus maintaining a latched status. Latch  5106  can be disengaged from stop element  5206  by application of a pivoting force on the release handle  5202 . Pivoting of the release handle  5202  causes the wire  5216  end with the “Z” fitting  5220  that is connected to the stop element  5206  to move downward, thus pulling the stop element  5206  in a downward direction and causing the latch  5106  to disengage from the stop element  5206 . 
         [0127]    The release handle  5202  can be provided at one end of the guide bar  528  or substantially centered on the rod  5104 . The release handle  5202  is rotated, or otherwise engaged, to overcome the pressure of the latch  5106  engagement with the stop element  5206  thereby releasing or disengaging the depth adjustment assembly  522  into a disengaged position. 
         [0128]    In an embodiment, release mechanism  5208  can be provided in pairs so that a release mechanism  5208  is provided on each depth guide channel  550 . In an embodiment, application of a force to a single release handle  5202  can result in disengagement of the latch  5106  at both depth guide channels  550 . 
         [0129]    During assembly, monitor mount channel  574  is positioned so that it spans between the guide bars  528 . Top hook element  576  is positioned so that flange portion of the top guide bar  528  is disposed within the inside curvature of top hook element  576 .

Handle  585  is rotated driving the worm drive  584  in the threaded receiver  586  which results in compression of hook elements  576 ,  577  against flange portions of guide bars  528  to frictionally anchor monitor mount channel  574  in a desired location. Monitor  512  can be adjusted horizontally by rotating handle  585  so that hook elements  576 ,  577  are not frictionally anchored guide bars  528  so that hook elements  576 ,  577  are slidably engaged with guide bars  528 . 
         [0130]    In operation, the monitor mount channels  574  are affixed to the guide bars  528  with the hook elements  576 ,  577 . A monitor  512  can then be secured to the monitor mount channels and in certain embodiments, the monitor mount channels  574  can be each moved horizontally along the guide bars  528  to position the mounted monitors  512  edge-to-edge without disengaging the monitor mount channels  574  from the guide bars  528 . 
         [0131]    As depicted, monitor mount channels  574  include a plurality of apertures  578  for receiving fasteners to engage to corresponding engagement points on the monitor  512 . In other embodiments, the monitor mount channels  574  can include specialized mounting elements corresponding to the different mounting systems of different types or brands of monitors  512 .
