Patent ID: 7784758

Claim:
A mount system adapted to pivot a monitor having a rear side, the mount system comprising: a first housing bracket adapted to couple to a supporting surface; a first monitor mounting pivotably coupled to the first housing bracket about a first pivot axis, the first monitor mounting brackets having a first end and a second end defining a first axis between the first end and the second end, the first pivot axis located between the first and second ends, the first monitor mounting bracket having a plurality of holes along the first axis adapted to couple to the rear side of the monitor, and when the mount system is in use, the first end being a bottom end and the second send being a top end; and a link system between the first housing and the first monitor mounting brackets, the link system having: a first link having a proximal end and a distal end, a second link having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal ends of the first and second links coupled to each other and adapted releasably support the first monitor mount bracket between the first pivot axis and the first end such that the first monitor mount bracket can pivot about the first pivot axis to separate from the link system, as the proximal ends of the first and second links move closer together, the distal ends of the first and second links extend to push the first monitor mount bracket to move the first end of the first monitor mount bracket further away from the first housing bracket, and as the proximal ends of the first and second links move away from each other, the distal ends of the first and second links retract so that the first monitor mount bracket can move closer to the first housing bracket; and a motor mechanically coupled to the proximal end of the first link to move the proximal ends of the first and second links relative to each other.
