Patent ID: 8074950

Claim:
A wall affixed vertically articulated flat panel display mount comprising: a first frame assembly secured to the wall and a second frame assembly operatively connected to the back of the flat panel display; two pairs of horizontally spaced parallel links extending between said first frame assembly and said second frame assembly and having respective ends pivotally connected thereto; wherein said second frame assembly comprises a pair of vertically extending, horizontally spaced channels, and a pair of horizontally extending, vertically spaced tubes extending through said channels; a pair of telescopic pneumatic springs connected between said first frame assembly and said second frame assembly to provide an offsetting force to the gravitational downward pull by the weight of the flat panel display, whereby the flat panel display weight is substantially negated, thereby allowing for manual movement of the flat panel display upward and downward; pair of vertically extending, horizontally spaced angle irons are secured to the back of the flat panel display, the upper end of each angle iron having a hook portion for receiving the upper tube of the horizontally extending, vertically spaced tubes, and the lower end of each angle iron being notched for receiving the lower tube; and whereby the flat panel display can be moved away from the wall to a lower position while being maintained in a vertical orientation relative to the wall.
