Art and a television (ARTV) mounting system
A device that permits a television to be extended from a position hidden behind a picture frame, and pivots an art picture frame up, and out of view so that a television screen is viewable at a lower level. When the television viewing is complete, the user retracts the television, resulting in a picture frame being pivoted down and coming to rest in front of the hidden television. The devise utilizes only one motorized pulley system to simultaneously move both a television and a picture frame. This devise also utilizes roller extension arms enabling a user to watch a flat TV screen at any level including fully up or down positions. Additionally, optional swivel arms can be utilized to allow a person to tilt the flat screen side to side for easy viewing at an angle.

Rearview mirror assembly with biased electrical connection
A rearview mirror assembly is provided herein and includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and an electrical connector electrically coupled to the PCB. The assembly also includes at least one biasing member that is electrically conductive and positioned between and in contact with the PCB and the electrical connector. The at least one biasing member is configured to compress or expand in response to displacement of the electrical connector. Compression or expansion of the at least one biasing member serves to maintain an electrical connection between the PCB and the electrical connector.
Collapsible multi-position modular easel stand
A collapsible, two part easel for holding objects such as smartphones, cell phones, iPads, business cards, recipes, and calendars. The profile of the easel in the assembled position creates an angled support surface. The base of a viewable object rests on the top inside portion of the shelf created by the protruding support surface, and the back of the display object rests against the back angled inside portion of the perpendicular surfaces. The angle of the backrest creates a fixed viewing angle of the display object. The easel is easily assembled from its ship-flat position by rotating the perpendicular locking object support panel 90 degrees on its integral locking pivot cylinder already inserted into the variable sized backrest. The easels can be modularly locked together, or incorporate multiple easel supports on the back panel to support larger objects and increase the amount of graphics. The assembled unit, when the two parts are locked together becomes a structural support member. A secondary set of structural elements snap into the rear of the assembled easel to further enhance its strength.
Adjustable mounting bracket for flat panel display
A mounting bracket apparatus for adjustably supporting a flat panel display from a wall. The mounting bracket includes a wall bracket, a display bracket and two traversing mounts. The traversing mounts are supportively disposed between the wall bracket and the display bracket, and driven along a pair of substantially parallel linear axes by a pair of actuators enabling vertical adjustment of the display bracket. The traversing mounts are flexibly coupled between the wall bracket and the display bracket, thereby enabling misalignment of the positions to adjust the skew of the display bracket relative to the wall bracket.

ROTATABLE PICTURE FRAME
The present disclosure relates generally to picture frames and picture cabinets, and more specifically to rotatable picture frames and picture cabinets. In some embodiments, the picture frame may be easily rotatable between a landscape display and a portrait display via a set of recesses that correspond to a set of protrusions on a hanging mount. The picture frame may also support a varying number of photographs in a varying number of picture support compartments while also allowing the picture frame to be accessible while said picture frame is mounted on a planar surface such as a wall.

Fastener tools and techniques
Provided is, among other things, an apparatus for facilitating the hanging of an object on a wall or other surface. This apparatus includes: a main body section having a first surface; an upper section connected to the main body section and having a protruding portion that protrudes away from the first surface; a lower section connected to the main body section and having an opening for accepting and holding a hanging/attachment element; and a securing mechanism. At least one of the upper section or the lower section is a slidable section that is slidably attached to the main body section and thereby capable of moving vertically up and down the main body section, but can be temporarily fixed at an arbitrary position along the main body section using the securing mechanism.
ARTICULATING VANITY MIRROR ASSEMBLY
A first center mirror and a second mirror are each suspended from a main bracket. The second mirror is pivotally connected to a bar which pivotally attaches to the main bracket and also to the second mirror. A third mirror is optionally pivotally connected to an arm pivotally attached to the main bracket. The first mirror is also preferably pivotally attached to an arm which is itself pivotally attached to the main bracket. An adjustably positionable top mirror can also be mounted to the main bracket. A close-up auxiliary mirror can be suspended from one of the other mirrors. Bushings support the arms upon the main bracket and support the mirrors upon the arms, with the bushings including a detent system to hold the mirrors in predefined positions. A person can stand multiple places and have mirrors positioned about the person for viewing different sides at each place.
