Detailed Description

[0011] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration of specific examples in which the disclosure may be practiced. It is to be understood that other examples may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims. It is to be understood that features of the various examples described herein may be combined, in part or whole, with each other, unless specifically noted otherwise.

[0012] Display devices may be used to disseminate information via a display of the display device. In some examples, the display devices may be shaped to be set on a surface and provide a viewable angle without additional accessory components. In other examples, the display devices may use an accessory component to stand on the surface and provide the viewable angle, such as a kickstand or mounting bracket. The display device may be used for a variety of purposes, such as a conference device to be viewed by multiple users at the same time. In many instances, it may be useful to mount or attach the display device to the surface of an object so that the display device may not be easily detached from the surface.

[0013] Examples in accordance with the present disclosure are directed to mounting devices which may be used to mount a display device to a surface, such as a table, a wall, and/or a door. The mounting device may attach or couple to the surface and attach or couple to the display device via slot-coupled apertures on the mounting device which mate with connection fasteners of the display device. In some instances, conference rooms may not have sufficient room to mount the display device to a table and/or the display device may be used for a purpose where a vertical orientation is useful. In such examples, the mounting device may mount the display device to a wall or door. In some examples, a single mounting device may be used to mount to different objects and/or for different purposes, as further described herein.

[0014] Turning now to the figures, FIG. 1 illustrates an example mounting device, in accordance with examples of the present disclosure.

Examples are not limited to the first plurality of mounting apertures 112-1 , 112-2, 112-3, 112-4 being located as illustrated by FIG. 1 , and may include different variations, such as the (second plurality of) mounting apertures 412-5, 412-6, 412-7, 412-8 as illustrated by FIG. 4 to receive a plurality of mounting fasteners associated with and to couple to a third plurality of mounting apertures 575-1 , 575-2 of a rotatable head 564 of a pole 562, as illustrated by FIG. 5. In such examples and referring to FIGs. 4-5, the plurality of mounting fasteners that couple to the mounting apertures 412-5, 412-6, 412-7, 412-8 and the third plurality of mounting apertures 575-1 , 575-2 are associated with the surface of the object in that the plurality of mounting fasteners couple the base bracket 502 to the rotatable head 564 of the pole 562 are used to attach the mounting device 560 to the surface of the object, as further described below. In some examples, the mounting devices 450, 560 illustrated by FIG. 4-5 may include implementations of the mounting device 100 of FIG. 1. [0019] The mounting device 100 includes a plurality of security apertures disposed proximal to a subset of the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4, as further illustrated by the security apertures 216-1 , 216-2 of FIG. 2A. The plurality of security apertures may be used to lock the connection fasteners of the display device into the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4 and/or to secure the display device to the mounting device 100. For example, a first security aperture may be disposed proximal to a first slot-coupled aperture 108-1 , and a second security aperture may be disposed proximal to a second slot-coupled aperture 108-3 of the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 108-1 , 108-2, 108-3, 108-4. In various examples, the plurality of security apertures are coupled to a plurality of security fasteners, such as a first security aperture coupled to a first security fastener and a second security aperture coupled to a second security fastener.

[0020] In some examples, the base bracket 102 further includes a cable aperture 110. The cable aperture 110 may be located between the first plurality of mounting apertures 112-1 , 112-2, 112-3, 112-4 and may have a diameter that is larger than a cable of the display device. The cable of the display device may be inserted through the cable aperture 110.

[0021] In some examples, the mounting device 100 may be used to mount the display device in a vertical position and/or to a vertically-oriented surface of an object, such as further shown by FIGs. 3A-3B. In some examples, the mounting device 100 may be used to mount the display device in a horizontal position and/or to a horizontally-oriented surface of an object, such as a table and as further shown by FIGs. 4-5.

[0022] FIGs. 2A-2B illustrate an example mounting device, in accordance with examples of the present disclosure. In some examples, the mounting device 200 of FIG. 2A may include an implementation of the example mounting device 100 of FIG. 1 , and includes a base bracket 202 including a device-attaching surface 204 and a mounting surface 206, a plurality of slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4, a first plurality of mounting apertures 212-1 , 212-2, 212-3, 212-4, and optionally the first cable aperture 210, as previously described in connection with FIG. 1. For ease of reference, the details of the various features and components are not repeated.

[0023] More specifically, FIG. 2A illustrates the plurality of connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 of a display device (not illustrated) which may couple to the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4 to detachably couple the display device to the mounting device 200. As shown, the first dimension of the apertures of the slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208- 3, 208-4 may be larger than heads of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4, and the second dimension of the slots of the slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4 may be smaller than the heads of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 and larger than a shaft of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4. Although not illustrated, mounting fasteners may be used to attach the mounting device 200 to a surface of an object by coupling with the first plurality of mounting apertures 212-1 , 212- 2, 212-3, 212-4.

[0024] In various examples, the apertures of the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4 may have a diameter or circumference that is sufficient (such as larger than) for a head of the plurality of connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 of the display device to fit through. The plurality of connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 of the display device may be slid toward and along the slots of the plurality of slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4 which have the height of the second dimension. The height may be sufficient for a shaft of the plurality of connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 to move along and which prevents detachment of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 from the slot-coupled apertures 208-1 , 208-2, 208-3, 208-4. For example, the height of the slots of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 may be smaller than the diameter and/or the circumference of the heads of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, 217-4 and larger than the diameter and/or the circumference of the shafts of the connection fasteners 217-1 , 217-2, 217-3, [0025] In various examples, the mounting device 200 further includes a plurality of rims 214-1 , 214-2.

[0029] FIG. 2B illustrates a close-up view 213-B of another example of a particular rim 214-2 of the mounting device 200 illustrated by FIG. 2A. As with close-up view 213-A of FIG. 2A, the close-up view 213-B illustrates when a display device is attached to the mounting device 200 and a particular connection fastener 217-2 is coupled to the particular slot-coupled aperture 208- 2. For ease of reference, details of the features and components of the mounting device 200 are not repeated. The display device may be securely locked into the mounting device 200 via a plurality of security fasteners coupled to the security apertures 216-1 , 216-2, such as illustrated by the particular security fastener 215-B coupled to the security aperture 216-2 of FIG. 2B.

[0030] In some examples, the plurality of security fasteners may be attached to the security apertures 216-1 , 216-2. As shown by the security fastener215-B attached to the security aperture 216-2 and further shown by FIGs. 8A-8C, the security fastener 215-B includes a body 293 that forms a standoff and includes an aperture with a slotted pin 295 disposed within the aperture. A slotted head of the slotted pin 295 may be pushed and twisted, using a tool, to move the slotted pin 295 to a closed state. When in the closed state, as further illustrated by FIGs. 8A-8C, an end of the slotted pin 295 may extend beyond the body 293 of the security fastener 215-B to a stopping point 223 and the slotted pin 295 may be locked into the closed state. For example, the slotted pin 295 may be twisted to a locked position, in which the slotted pin 295 is locked. In some examples, the stopping point 223 may extend less than the distance to the connection fastener 217-2 coupled to the slot-coupled aperture 208-2. In such examples, the connection fastener 217-2 (and the connected display device) may move from a first position 229 to a second position 227 and may be prevented from moving further into and out of the aperture of slot-coupled aperture 208-2 by the slotted pin 295. In other examples, the stopping point 223 may include the distance to the connection fastener 217-2.

[0031] The various fasteners described herein, including the security fasteners, the mounting fasteners, and the connection fasteners, may include a variety of different types of fasteners.
