Device for Hanging a TV, Display Screen, or Other Electronic Displays

Abstract

The three components are combined to create a device for hanging a TV, display screen, or other electronic display. A ring terminal is crimped on to each opposing end of a 1.5 mm wire. Ring terminals are sized to fit the bolts and horizontal length of the mounting holes on the back of a TV, display screen, or other electronic display. A length of wire longer than the horizontal distance between two points on the back of a TV, display screen, or other electronic display is used to create a partial loop. Ring terminal ends are sized to self-tapping screws or screws provided by the case or manufacturer mounts are used to attach the ring terminals and the associated wire to the TV, display screen, or other electronic display for hanging on a single hook, screw, or other receiving appending on a wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In the following are detailed descriptions of the invention of exemplary embodiments. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, but other embodiments may be utilized, and logical, mechanical, electrical, and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims.

[0023] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it is understood that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure the invention.

[0024] The proposed invention is a device for hanging a TV, display screen, or other electronic display. The present invention is comprised of three components, a wire 101 as shown in FIG. 2, one or more wire crimps 102 as shown in FIG. 3, and one or more wire ring terminals 103 as shown in FIG. 4.

[0025] The three components are combined to create a device for hanging a TV, display screen, or other electronic display. As shown in FIG. 1, the device is created providing or cutting a 1.5 mm wire 101 to a desired length or using one or more crimps 102 to loop a wire into a desired length. Next a ring terminal 103 is crimped on to each opposing end of the 1.5 mm wire 101.

[0026] Ring terminals 103 are sized to fit the bolts and horizontal length of the mounting holes on the back of a TV, display screen, or other electronic display.

[0027] As shown in the prototype image of the invention of FIG. 1, a length of wire 101 longer than the horizontal distance between two points on the back of a TV, display screen, or other electronic display is used to create a partial loop, similar to that as used in hanging a picture. Ring terminal ends 103 are sized to self-tapping screws or screws provided by the case or manufacturer mounts are used to attach the ring terminals 103 and the associated wire 101 to the TV, display screen, or other electronic display for hanging on a single hook, screw, or other receiving appending on a wall.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, shrink wrap tubing 104 is used in combination with the device to provide coverage for the wire ends as shown in FIG. 1. Here, the shrink wrap tubing 104 is used to cover and reduce the risk of injury to a user, which could occur when coming into contact with the sharp ends of the wire 101. A length of shrink wrap tubing 104 is applied to each end of the wire 101, securing a wire end section to a middle wire section and enclosing the wire ends providing a protective covering.

[0029] Thus, it is appreciated that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variation in size, materials, shape, form, function, and manner of operation, assembly, and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the above description are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

[0030] Furthermore, other areas of art may benefit from this method and adjustments to the design are anticipated. Thus, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
