Patent ID: 7722002

Claim:
A mounting system, comprising: a surface mounting bracket configured to attach to a surface; at least one device mounting bracket configured to attach to a display device and including a positioning region for accepting the surface mounting bracket; at least one extender member movably connected to one of the at least one device mounting bracket; and at least one security fastener each of which is movably connected to one of the at least one device mounting bracket and is in contact with one of the at least one extender member, the at least one security fastener being movable towards and away from the surface mounting bracket, the at least one security fastener configured to act on the at least one extender member upon movement of the at least one security fastener and thereby move the at least one extender member relative to the at least one device mounting bracket; wherein, when the surface mounting bracket is positioned within the positioning region, movement of the at least one security fastener towards the surface mounting bracket causes the at least one extender member to restrain the at least one device mounting bracket from moving away from the surface mounting bracket directly substantially perpendicular to the surface.
