Apparatus for mounting a flat screen on a surface

Abstract

The invention regards an apparatus for mounting a flat screen on a surface wherein the flat screen comprises at least two fixtures. The apparatus comprises, two mounting members adapted to be attached to the fixtures on the flat screen and a wire with one end connected to one of the mounting members and the other end connected to the other mounting member. The mounting members comprise an axle adapted for the wire to be coiled around for changing the length of free wire between the mounting members and retaining means at a radially greater distance from the wire coiled around the axle, adapted to retain the wire hereby preventing uncoiling of the wire.

1 . Apparatus for mounting a flat screen on a surface wherein the flat screen comprises at least two fixtures, the apparatus comprising,
 two mounting members, adapted to be attached to the fixtures on the flat screen, and   a wire with one end connected to one of the mounting members and the other end connected to the other mounting member,   wherein the mounting members comprise,   an axle adapted for the wire to be coiled around it for changing the length of free wire between the mounting members, and   a retainer disposed at a radially greater distance, from the wire coiled around the axle, than the axle, and adapted to retain the wire thereby preventing uncoiling of the wire.   
     
     
         2 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting members are circular. 
     
     
         3 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the retainer comprises at least one groove for retaining the wire. 
     
     
         4 . Apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one groove has a T-shape. 
     
     
         5 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the axle is enclosed between two walls adapted to retain the wire on the axle. 
     
     
         6 . Apparatus according to  claim 5  wherein one of the walls is extended wherein the retaining means comprise the extended wall. 
     
     
         7 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting members comprise a circular disc with a first side, a second side and an edge portion, wherein the axle is formed as a substantially circular recess in the first side, wherein optionally, the recess has an L-shape. 
     
     
         8 . Apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the retainer is shaped as a groove in the edge portion of the circular disc. 
     
     
         9 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises at least one distance members adapted member which is configured to be attached to the flat screen to change the inclination of the flat screen when mounted on the surface. 
     
     
         10 . Apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one distance member comprises a first part adapted to be mounted on the flat screen and a second part pivotally mounted on the first part and resting against the surface. 
     
     
         11 . Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a circular member adapted to be attached to the surface whereon the free wire between the mounting members can rest when the flat screen is mounted on the surface.
