Abstract

The present invention is a cost effective wall mounting apparatus for a visual display. The wall mounting apparatus comprises two interlocking plates that are configured to mount the visual display to a wall such that the bracketry provides a gap between the wall and the visual display of less than about 2 inches. One of the plates is designed to be attached to the wall, while the other is affixed to the back of the visual display. The visual display is mounted to the wall by hooking the two plates together, such that the two interlocking plates contact each other in at least two places along the surfaces thereof.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wall mounting apparatus for a visual display, comprising: 
 a first plate attached to a wall; and    a second plate attached to the visual display, wherein the visual display is mounted to the wall by hooking the first and second plates together, such that each plate contacts the other in at least two places.    
   
   
       2 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the first plate and the second plate include an angled portion and a flat portion extending away from the angled portion.  
   
   
       3 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the first plate and the second plate include an angled portion, a flat portion and a backstop portion.  
   
   
       4 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the backstop portion extends between the angled portion and the flat portion.  
   
   
       5 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the first plate is configured to include an elongate section which contacts a corresponding elongate section of the second plate.  
   
   
       6 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein one of the first plate and the second plate is longer than the other to permit side-to-side adjustment.  
   
   
       7 . The wall mounting apparatus of  claim 1  wherein one of the first plate and the second plate includes two or more end stops.  
   
   
       8 . A display system including a wall mounting apparatus, comprising: 
 a first plate attached to a wall; and    a second plate attached to the visual display, wherein the visual display is mounted to the wall by hooking the first and second plates together, such that each plate contacts the other in at least two places.    
   
   
       9 . The display system of  claim 8  wherein at least one of the first plate and the second plate include an angled portion and a flat portion extending away from the angled portion.  
   
   
       10 . The display system of  claim 8  wherein at least one of the first plate and the second plate include an angled portion, a flat portion and a backstop portion.  
   
   
       11 . The display system of  claim 10  wherein the backstop portion extends between the angled portion and the flat portion.  
   
   
       12 . The display system of  claim 8  wherein the first plate is configured to include an elongate section that contacts a corresponding elongate section of the second plate.  
   
   
       13 . The display system of  claim 8  wherein one of the first plate and the second plate is longer than the other to permit side-to-side adjustment.  
   
   
       14 . The display system of  claim 8  wherein one of the first plate and the second plate includes two or more end stops.
