This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application 60/823,896, filed Aug. 29, 2006, entitled IN-WALL INTERFACE AND MOUNTING METHOD FOR DISPLAY MOUNT. The above referenced application is incorporated herein by its entirety by reference.
The present invention relates to video displays and more specifically to mounting devices for video displays.
Flat panel monitors and televisions are becoming ever-more popular in homes and in commercial settings. Previously common Cathode-Ray Tube ("CRT") monitors are being replaced by flat panel devices at a rapid rate. A chief advantage of flat panel devices over CRTs is the appealing aesthetic of a very shallow device that resembles a framed photo or painting when mounted on a wall.
Many different configurations of wall mounting devices have been developed for flat panel displays. Examples of such prior mounting devices are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,028,961; 6,905,101; D507,477; D496,367; D495,714; D495,713; D494,978; D494,596; D493,800; and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20070158515 all hereby incorporated herein by reference. Although these prior mounting devices contribute to providing a shallow frame aesthetic for the wall mounted flat panel monitor, some clearance between the back of the monitor and the plane of the wall is generally needed with these prior art mounts in order to provide space for the mount itself and to allow for positioning of the monitor.
In-wall recessed boxes have been previously used with a flat panel monitor and mounting device to enable the back plane of the monitor to be positioned closer to the plane of the wall on which it is mounted. In these devices, the box is installed in the wall to define a recess and a mounting device, such as those referenced above, is mounted in the recess. These previous in-wall boxes, however, have had some drawbacks. One drawback of previous in-wall boxes is that they are generally difficult to install in an existing finished wall, requiring extensive portions of the wall inner envelope layer (i.e. sheetrock or plaster) to be removed to facilitate access for fastening the box to structural frame members (i.e. studs). Due to variations in the spacing of studs, specialized shims are often needed to enable positioning of the in-wall box at a desired location in the wall. Another installation related drawback to prior in-wall mounting devices is that no provision is typically made to accommodate electrical and video wiring within the box. Separate outlet boxes must be provided in the wall adjacent the in-wall mounting box or holes must be drilled in the box for the wires to be accommodated. Also, the appearance of prior boxes has typically been somewhat crude, having a generally "industrial" character. Finally, the boxes themselves have typically been expensive to manufacture.
What is still needed in the industry is an in-wall interface in the form of a recessed in-wall box that is relatively easy to install in a finished wall, has accommodations for video and electrical wiring in the box, has an attractive appearance, and that is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
The present invention addresses the need in the industry by providing a recessed in-wall box that is relatively easy to install in a finished wall, has accommodations for video and electrical wiring in the box, has an attractive appearance, and is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
An embodiment of the present invention generally includes an in-wall interface for a display mount that includes a body pan defining a recess for receiving a display mount for flat panel display devices. The body pan is sized for positioning between a pair of frame members of a wall structure. The interface also includes at least one shimming mechanism operatively coupled with the body pan, the shimming mechanism being selectively shiftable to engage the frame members and retain the body pan in a desired position. Further, the shimming mechanism includes at least one fastener for permanently affixing the in-wall box to the frame member.
Additionally, another embodiment of the present invention includes an in-wall interface for a display mount. The interface includes a body pan defining a recess for receiving a display mount for flat panel display devices. The body pan is sized for positioning between frame members of a wall structure. Also, found in some embodiments are multiple threaded bosses defined in the body pan walls at locations in the same proximity as the frame members. Further, a plurality of externally threaded shimming thumb-screws may be included. These thumb-screws are capable of engagement through the threaded bosses for adjustable support of the body pan between the structural frame members. The shimming thumb-screws each contain an axially disposed bore. A plurality of fasteners are provided for driving through the bores of the shimming thumb-screws and into the structural frame members to fixedly support the body pan.
A further embodiment of the present invention includes a method of installing a flat panel display mount. The front panel display is installed using this method by first providing an in-wall interface member defining a recessed portion for receiving a display mount and accommodating video and electrical wiring. A hole is defined in a membrane assembly of a wall roughly corresponding to the shape of the periphery of the in-wall interface member. Shimming thumb-screws are threaded through bosses in the in-wall interface until the distal end of each thumb-screw engages a frame member in the wall.
Some additional embodiments provide an in-wall interface system for mounting an electronic display including a body pan that defines a recess for receiving a display mount for flat panel display devices. The body pan is sized for positioning between a pair of frame members of a wall structure. The interface system also includes at least one means for shimming operatively coupled with the body pan. The shimming means is selectively shiftable so that it engages a surface of the frame members to retain the body pan in a desired position. Also included in the shimming means is at least one fastening means.
An embodiment of the present invention includes an in-wall interface system for mounting an electronic display. This embodiment includes a system including a body pan defining a recess for receiving a display mount for flat panel display devices. The body pan is sized for positioning between a pair of frame members of a wall structure and includes opposing walls providing a plurality of externally threaded bosses. There is also at least one shimming mechanism operatively coupled with the body pan. The shimming mechanism is selectively shiftable within the bosses to engage the frame members to retain the body pan in a desired position. Also, the shimming mechanism includes at least one fastener.
An advantage of certain embodiments to provide an in-wall interface which may be installed without requiring excessive removal of sheetrock or other inner wall envelope layer.
An advantage of certain embodiments is to provide an in-wall interface which is relatively easy to install and which does not require use of additional specialized shims.
It is also an advantage of certain embodiments to accommodate electrical and video wiring within an interface box as well as to eliminate the need for separate adjacent outlet boxes.
An advantage of certain embodiments is to provide an in-wall interface system for mounting an electronic display which has an attractive and aesthetically pleasing appearance, yet which is inexpensive to manufacture.
Further objects and advantages of particular embodiments of the present invention may become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the figures and descriptions of the present invention herein.
The invention may be more completely understood in consideration of the following detailed description of various embodiments of the invention in connection with the following drawings, in which:
While the invention is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit the invention to the particular embodiments described. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
There is generally depicted in
In-wall interface 28 generally includes body pan 34, shimming mechanisms in the form of shimming thumb-screws 36, and threaded fasteners 38. Body pan 34 has walls 40 and back 42 defining recess 44. The depth of recess 44 and back 42 are sized such that the body pan will conveniently reside within the space between the membrane assembly 24 and any interior walls or structures. Peripheral flange 46 may extend outward around periphery 48 of recess 44, to enable hiding of wall membrane edges 50 for a finished appearance when installed in the wall structure 22. The peripheral flange 46 may have outer rounded corners and extend away from the periphery 48 in all directions. Body pan 34 may be molded from polymer in a single, integral piece or may be made from any other suitable material such as metal. Rounded corners 52 and 54 may be provided for a pleasing aesthetic appearance and to facilitate molding from the polymer material. Further, such contoured features can aid in minimizing entanglement of cords and avoid damage caused by sharp edges or corners.
Bosses 56 are provided in various locations in the walls 40 to allow convenient and beneficial adjustment locations for supporting and aligning the body pan 34 with the surrounding frame members. The bosses are generally part of the body pan 34. Typically, the boss locations are as shown in the figures, where pairs of bosses are transversely located in parallel walls across the recess of body pan 34 in axial alignment with one another. Further, the plurality of bosses 56 are spaced at varied distances from the periphery 48 of the body pan on the walls 40 to provide a greater range of potential adjustments for aligning or spacing the body pan 34 with respect to the frame members 26. Also, such spacing distributes stresses across the frame members 26 and allows for enhanced stability and desirable interface weight distribution. Although bosses 56 are typically located in the two side walls 40 of the body pan 34 that run parallel to vertically extending frame members 26, it is also contemplated that bosses 56 may be located in other walls 40 when frame members are adjacently disposed and therefore allow for this possibility.
The bosses 56 are provided in walls 40, each defining a threaded bore 58 for receiving one of shimming thumb-screws 36, each of which has cooperating exterior threading 60. Each of the shimming thumb-screws 36 are thereby enabled to be threaded in and out of bores 50. Each shimming thumb-screw 36 defines an axially aligned bore 62 for receiving a fastener 38. Such fasteners 38 have a length greater than that of the corresponding shimming thumb-screws 36 so that the fasteners 38 may protrude from both ends of the shimming thumb-screws 36 when inserted in bore 50, as shown in
To install in-wall interface 28, a hole may be cut in membrane assembly 22, roughly corresponding with the size and shape of periphery 48. In-wall interface 28 is then placed in the hole, and each shimming thumb-screw 36 is threaded into one of the bosses 56 until distal end 64 engages the surface frame member 26. It will be appreciated that each shimming thumb-screw 36 may be separately adjusted to obtain the desired positioning of in-wall interface 28 within the hole, for example to adjust sideways positioning and to ensure that in-wall interface 28 is square with the floor ceiling or nearby wall edges. It will also be appreciated that in certain embodiments, the tip of thumb-screw 36 may be pointed so as to sink slightly into the surface of the frame member in order to provide greater purchase between the thumb screw and the frame member. Once shimming thumb-screws 36 are tightened in the desired position to temporarily hold the in-wall interface 28 in place, fasteners 38 are driven through bores 62 to secure in-wall interface 28 to the frame members 26.
In an embodiment of the invention, knockout portions 66, 68, may be provided in one or more of walls 40 to facilitate electrical connections, such as duplex outlet 70, thereby enabling a pleasing finished appearance to the electrical wiring installation for flat panel display 32. These knockout portions may, for example, be used to accommodate wiring for auxiliary components such as DVD players, receivers, speakers or other input or output devices.
It will be appreciated that, in alternative embodiments, shimming thumb-screws 36 may extend from only one of the walls 40, with the opposing wall 40 directly engaged with the adjacent frame member. In other embodiments, bosses 56 may be omitted and thumb-screws 36 threaded through apertures that are either pre-defined in body pan 34 or that are drilled in desired locations just before installation. In further embodiments, fasteners 38 may be separate from thumb-screws 36, with fasteners 38 being driven through separate apertures defined in walls 40.
What is provided then is an easy to install, discrete, and aesthetically pleasing in-wall interface for receiving and partially concealing a flat panel display mount in which accommodations for video and electric wiring are provided as well as sufficient space for flat panel monitor adjustment.
The embodiments above are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. Additional embodiments are encompassed within the scope of the claims. Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For purposes of interpreting the claims for the present invention, it is expressly intended that the provisions of Section 112, sixth paragraph of 35 U.S.C. are not to be invoked unless the specific terms "means for" or "step for" are recited in a claim.

By Michael Kaynard, contributing photographer | Over my 65 years, I have seen a lot of change in our communities. I came from a Georgia town with water fountains and bathrooms marked "coloreds." I still see black and white and it shames me to admit it. I don't understand why, but it is there. For us to move forward, we have to stop seeing in black and white.
I used to see the police as more brutish than now. I now see them trying to do the best they can with not a lot of support from their communities. I know they are there to protect us, but I also know some should never be police. To be honest, the overdeveloped muscles and generally-uniform shaved heads are intimidating. I think they could do something to soften their image. If we had more officers, they could spend more time becoming a part of the community and not just enforcers.
It is said that a high tide lifts all. Has it? One of the greatest problems I see is economic inequality. I met a woman who works at Lowe's part-time because her 15-year position in hotel reservations downtown doesn't pay enough. Many people have to work two to three jobs to keep afloat. It just doesn't make sense to me.

When Keisha Brown returned to her office Sept. 30 after spending the previous weekend in Chicago at the Cancer Treatment Center of America, the room was decorated a little differently.
The entirety of the Alma College womenĺs basketball team that Brown coaches was huddled in the office and each had put up a pink sign giving encouraging words in Brownĺs ongoing fight against breast cancer.
One-and-a-half sides of the wall are now completely plastered with the pink signs.
ôIĺm never going to take them down,ö Brown said. ôIt just shows how much support I am getting from the entire community around me. I am certainly not in this fight alone.ö
Brown had already endured three separate battles with breast cancer prior to this year beginning in 2007, getting through it each time and it appeared as though brighter days were ahead.
Yet in late January of this year, it was discovered that the cancer was back and had now metastasized into her bones. Since then, Brown has been going to Chicago bi-weekly to receive treatment.
In May, the cancer spread to her jaw and more recently it was found that it had moved into her spine.
Brown is currently going through chemotherapy in pill form, which she says she prefers.
Luckily, the spread of the cancer was caught quickly each time and Brown has been able to continue her daily work schedule. She plans to coach the Alma College womenĺs basketball team from the moment it opens practice Oct. 15.
ôBeing on the court coaching the girls is my time to get away from everything else that has been going on,ö said Brown. ôI love being around the game of basketball and my team. I can just forget about everything else.ö
ôIf it were not for my faith, I donĺt think I would have lasted six years let along four diagnosisĺ,ö Brown said. ôThere are times when you just want to give up or stop taking the medicine. You just want to be normal. But whatĺs normal? Itĺs subjective. My faith has allowed me to wake up every day and allow me to keep fighting. What are the odds that a person is going to be told four times in six years that the cancer is back? I couldnĺt get through this without faith in God and the strength that I can endure anything because of that faith.ö
Two years ago, Brown met Marilynn Rison through Faith Community Church in Mt. Pleasant where they both attend services.
Rison, the wife of Central Michigan University wide receivers coach Mose Rison, has a background in theater and arts so the idea was brought up earlier this year of perhaps doing a documentary.
Brown was receptive to the idea right off the bat.
The documentary will show Saturday, Oct. 26, at Faith Community Church in conjunction with a program that focuses on helping people who are going through various issues in their lives. The program will start at 6 p.m. and the documentary viewing will be at the midway point.
ôI just thought that Keisha Brown is such a strong and courageous person that she deserves to have her story told,ö Rison said. ôThrough everything she has gone through, she has kept her head up and you wouldnĺt know just how difficult she has had it through these battles.ö
The documentary will focus on Brownĺs most recent battle and also delve into how she has dealt with the hand she has been given.
While Brown has gone through her own battle, she understands that everyone around her has had their own perspective through these past six years.
ôEveryone has their own story,ö said Brown. ôMy daughter Angel has her story. My husband Damon has his story. Each person has a story. Itĺs different from everyoneĺs perspective and what it possibly means for them. Weĺve had our moments talking about our fears, but we get through it by talking about it and leaning on our faith even more. Itĺs also changed us so much in positive ways that we are thankful for it.ö

Baby isn't able to sit up on his own from a laying position
Comments (4)
My LO only gets to the sitting position from crawling (or if I put her there) and she has never sat up from the laying position. I don't think this is uncommon. If it is i'm not concerned when she sits she is very good at it and has no problem getting there from the crawling position. I wouldn't worry too much seems like a hard thing to do to me. I think crawling etc are far more important at this point and if he sits unassisted when you put him there I definantely wouldn't worry.

My lo just started getting into the sitting position on her own a couple of weeks ago and she'll be 9 months on the 5th. My oldest dd was doing it at 6 1/2 months. So, don't worry she'll do it when she's ready.
Also, get ready, because just 3 days after she started sitting up on her own she started pulling up on EVERYTHING!

So who does this matter to? Well, the average person probably doesn't care, the people who do care range between computer hardware enthusiasts/gamers to prosumer/professionals. I think I technically fit all 4 of those categories, but the hardware enthusiast/gamer is probably the one I most resonate with. Gaming with a higher resolution screen is just better. Everything is sharper, you can pick up details of things that are farther away and you can see more fine detail when you are up close...

text: I challenged myself to make an LC team with seldom-used Pokemon that could still step up to bigger teams. I hereby present my LCUU rain team! I've gotten close to ~50 battles with this team, and so far the results have been pretty good. Many teams are unprepared for an Anorith or Surskit sweep, but the non-bug types do a lot of work on the team as well. Let's meet the players! Code: Frillish @ Damp Rock Ability: Water Absorb Level: 5 EVs: 80 HP / 196 Def / 232 SDef Bold Nature - Recover - Shadow Ball - Toxic - Rain Dance Frillish is my lead here, and a damn good one at that. It stops common Mienfoo or Aipom leading with Fake Out, and often prompts a switch to another Pokemon. This one turn allows me to set up rain with damp rock, while leaving Frillish mostly intact for the rest of the battle for some stalling fun. Code: Barboach @ Eviolite Ability: Hydration Level: 5 EVs: 116 HP / 212 Atk / 36 Def / 28 SDef / 116 Spd Jolly Nature - Dragon Dance - Earthquake - Waterfall - Return Barboach is my bulky attacker here for when Priority dominates the field. Its access to dragon dance makes it very useful as a wallbreaker as well, along with being a threat when the rain peters out. It's not seen much in Little Cup, but I use it to the full extent of its power. Code: Anorith @ Eviolite Ability: Swift Swim Level: 5 EVs: 236 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spd Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - X-Scissor - Rock Slide - Brick Break Anorith is my typical path to victory. With low defenses, it's pretty frail outside of rain, but with Swift Swim active after Frillish's 8-turn rain dance, it becomes an amazingly powerful sweeper. This guy usually takes out 3-4 enemy Pokemon before being crushed, and with +2 it's almost unstoppable. The only problem is, versus stall teams, when the rain stops, so does Anorith's rampage. Code: Electrike @ Choice Scarf Ability: Lightningrod Level: 5 Shiny: Yes EVs: 236 SAtk / 36 SDef / 236 Spd Timid Nature - Thunder - Volt Switch - Flamethrower - Switcheroo Electrike is my revenge killer. Its high speed plus choice scarf lets it outspeed nearly everything in Little Cup, and it can take out common threats to the rest of my team. Snover? Check. Murkrow? Check. This thing has it all. Plus, Thunder gets 100% accuracy in rain! Code: Surskit @ Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim Level: 5 EVs: 52 Def / 200 SAtk / 20 SDef / 236 Spd Modest Nature IVs: 19 HP / 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef / 30 Spd - Hydro Pump - Signal Beam - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Rain Dance Ah, Surskit, my favorite Pokemon in LC. With a ranking in Little Cup below #50, it hurts to see this little guy see so little use. Surskit is amazingly fast and powerful, but has the defenses of eggshells in the middle of the road. During rain, it wipes out even the strongest of Pokemon. It can also be used as a fast rain-setter if Frillish goes down to a mysterious attack turn 1. The only problem I've encountered so far with it is Frillish, which takes no damage from two of its attacks and resists the other. Code: Omanyte @ Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim Level: 5 EVs: 36 Def / 232 SAtk / 240 Spd Modest Nature IVs: 29 HP / 2 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spd - Shell Smash - Surf - Ancient Power - Ice Beam Omanyte is my setup sweeper just in case things get a bit too slow. After a Shell Smash, its great coverage helps me to sweep, and its decent defenses can take a hit if a switch-in is needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What are your thoughts? Weak points? Strong points? I'd love to hear any and all suggestions. Thank you for reading, and I encourage you to challenge yourself as I did, you'll find it's quite a fun experience.

Quest Analytics Outlines Successful Narrow Network Development to Support Service Area Expansion and HIX Readiness
APPLETON, Wis., Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Historically, developing a provider network has been a challenging event and in most cases comes with unpredictable cost and extended timeframes. This is based on the tried (but not true) theory, that every targeted provider should be weighted equally. In many cases, this has been an exercise in quantity vs. quality.
However, by applying analytics to this industry challenge, Quest Analytics has developed a service that allows plans to manage the process with more control. Understanding the impact that every provider has prior to the actual contracting process is key.
"The proper development of Narrow Networks is a time-sensitive and critical process for every plan," said Linda Borths, Director of Sales at Quest Analytics. "Every plan is concerned with the high cost associated with contracting and building a network. As plans are considering their network offering, especially in the HIX market, cost, without sacrificing access to care, is a critical component. Our ability to pinpoint the impact of a provider before an engagement can prove to be invaluable," adds Borths.
Quest Analytics, visionary leaders in Network Adequacy analytics solutions, is offering a webinar event to showcase this game changing process on Narrow Network Development.
The seminar is titled: 'Jumping Over the Hurdles of Narrow Network Development' and will be presented by members of the Quest Analytics leadership team.
Participants in the webinar will gain insight into some of the key issues in developing a successful Narrow Network, such as: understanding the Network Adequacy requirements for specific markets and products; how to enter into new service areas with minimal effort and targeted recruiting; and, specific tactics to employ to fill network gaps. This information will be especially impactful for those involved at the decision or implementation level of MCOs, Medicare, Medicaid, Dual Eligibles, Commercial or Exchange business.
'Jumping Over the Hurdles of Narrow Network Development' is part of a series of highly targeted, educational webinars produced by Quest Analytics. This webinar takes place on Tuesday, December 18th at 10:30 am to 11:15 am CST. Further information and registration is available at:
