Patent ID: 8348212

Claim:
A securable device mounting bracket assembly for use in a mounting system for a display device, comprising: a device mounting bracket including a device mounting surface configured to operatively attach to a display device and a side surface extending from the device mounting surface and configured to operatively engage with a mounting system securable to an attachment surface; an extender member slidingly coupled to the side surface, the extender member including a first contact portion selectively engageable with the mounting system and a second contact portion located distal from the mounting system and coupled to the device mounting bracket, the first contact portion and the second contact portion of the extender member each movably positionable along a path substantially parallel to the device mounting surface between a first engaged position and a second disengaged position when the display device is operatively attached to the device mounting bracket; and a security fastener operatively contacting the second contact portion of the extender member and movably positionable along a path substantially parallel to the device mounting surface, wherein positioning of the extender member in the first engaged position substantially prevents disengagement of the device mounting bracket from the rest of the mounting system, and wherein positioning of the extender member in the second disengaged position allows disengagement of the device mounting bracket from the rest of the mounting system.
