Abstract

A support for a television or other device, including a telescopic column; an L-shaped bracket having one leg secured to a top of the column and another leg extending along a face of the column; a beam, arranged substantially perpendicular to the column, for securing to the L-shaped bracket; at least one connector for securing the television to the beam; and an actuator, arranged inside the column, for extending the column.

1 . A support for a device, comprising:
 an extendable column;   a hanger, having a portion extending substantially parallel to the column, for securing to a top of the column;   a beam, arranged substantially perpendicular to the column, for securing to the hanger; and   at least one connector for securing the device to the beam.   
   
   
       2 . The support recited in  claim 1 , wherein the hanger comprises an L-shaped bracket. 
   
   
       3 . The support recited in  claim 2 , wherein the L-shaped bracket includes a plurality of holes arranged in at least two lines extending substantially parallel to the column. 
   
   
       4 . The support recited in  claim 1  wherein the connector slidably engages the beam. 
   
   
       5 . The support recited in  claim 4 , wherein the beam is generally C-shaped. 
   
   
       6 . The support recited in  claim 1 , further comprising an actuator for extending the column. 
   
   
       7 . The support recited in  claim 6 , wherein the actuator comprises a hydraulic actuator. 
   
   
       8 . The support recited in  claim 1 , further comprising an ear, extending from the column, for securing the column to a cabinet. 
   
   
       9 . The support recited in  claim 1 , wherein the extendable column is telescopic. 
   
   
       10 . A support for a television, comprising:
 a telescopic column having a face;   an L-shaped bracket having one leg secured to a top of the column and another leg extending along a face of the column;   a beam, arranged substantially perpendicular to the column, for securing to the L-shaped bracket;   at least one connector for securing the television to the beam; and   an actuator, arranged inside the column, for extending the column.   
   
   
       11 . The support recited in  claim 10 , wherein the L-shaped bracket includes a plurality of holes arranged in at least two lines extending substantially parallel to the column. 
   
   
       12 . The support recited in  claim 11 , wherein the beam is generally C-shaped. 
   
   
       13 . The support recited in  claim 12 , wherein the connector slidably engages the beam. 
   
   
       14 . The support recited in  claim 13 , further comprising an ear, extending from the column, for securing the column to a cabinet. 
   
   
       15 . The support recited in  claim 14 , wherein the actuator comprises a hydraulic actuator. 
   
   
       16 . The device recited in  claim 15  further comprising a television secured to the connector. 
   
   
       17 . A support for a television, comprising:
 an extendable column having a face;   first means, extending substantially parallel to the column, for securing to a top of the column;   second means, arranged substantially perpendicular to the column, for securing to the hanger; and   third means for securing the television to the beam.   
   
   
       18 . The support recited in  claim 17 , wherein the first means comprises an L-shaped bracket having one leg secured to a top of the column and another leg extending along a face of the column. 
   
   
       19 . The support recited in  claim 18 , wherein the L-shaped bracket includes a plurality of holes arranged in at least two lines extending substantially parallel to the column. 
   
   
       20 . The support recited in  claim 19  further comprising
 fourth means, arranged inside the column, for extending the column; and   a television secured to the third means.
