Patent ID: 7780131

Claim:
A mounting system for repositioning a monitor relative to a reference plane, the monitor having a weight, the mounting system comprising: a first bracket having a first longitudinal axis, the first bracket having a base between two side walls, the base of the first bracket having a plurality of holes along the first longitudinal axis of the first bracket, and each of the two side walls of the first bracket having an opening; a second bracket having a second longitudinal axis, the second bracket having a base between two side walls, the base of the second bracket having a plurality of holes along the second longitudinal axis of the second bracket, and each of the two side walls of the second bracket having an opening; a first bar, the openings in the side walls of the first and second brackets adapted to receive and slide along a longitudinal axis of the first bar; a second bar adapted to support the first and second brackets such that the second bar is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the first bar; a third bracket adapted to support the first bar at a first location, the first location at a predetermined distance relative to the reference plane; a fourth bracket adapted to support the first bar at a second location, the second location at the predetermined distance relative to the reference plane; and a motorized actuator having a distal end, the distal end adapted to support the second bar at a third location in a slidable manner such that the distal end slides relative to the third location as the distal end extends and retracts relative to the reference plane to pivot the first and second brackets relative to the reference plane, and the third location between the first and second locations such that the first, second, and third locations form a triangular configuration.
