Patent ID: 8282059

Claim:
A mounting system, comprising: a first bracket configured to operatively connect to a surface; a second bracket configured to operatively connect to an audio/visual device, the first bracket movably connected to the second bracket via one of at least one glider and at least one pin such that the first bracket is selectively tiltable relative to the second bracket; a plurality of substantially circular angular position features located on one of the first bracket and the second bracket, each of the plurality of angular position features associated with a respective discrete tilt angle of the second bracket relative to the first bracket; and an angular positioning element configured and sized to selectively mate individually with each of the plurality of angular position features, wherein, for each angular position feature, when the angular positioning element is positioned within the angular position feature and also passes through an opening on the other of the first bracket and the second bracket, the first bracket is prevented from moving from a respective discrete tilt angle defined by the second bracket relative to the first bracket, and wherein when the angular positioning element is not positioned within any of the plurality of angular position features, the second bracket is substantially free to move relative to the first bracket.
