Portable battlewall display stand

Abstract

The Portable Battlewall Display Stand provides a flexible, reliable, safe and rapid method for the mounting of flat panel displays and short focal length projectors in a single or dual mode. It offers the capability of coupling the stands, for flat panel display/projector media multi-use. Its tubular frame provides telescopic expansion, rigidity and light weight features, without sacrificing safety and reliability, by use of positive mechanical fastening hardware. It can be readily disassembled for transport and storage, presenting small volume for storage.

Claims

1. The portable stand is a lightweight tubular frame which is composed of weldments and bent tubular members secured by positive mechanical fasteners (hand knobs), thus providing expandable structure capabilities that supports flat panel displays, projector's screen and projector, and supporting accessories i.e.; equipment shelves and wire routing clamps.

2. The portable stand in claim 1 has Four Leveling Mounts attached to the Base eliminates instability caused by terrain variations.

3. The portable stand in claim 1 has two Internal Posts that provide structural integrity from the base to the main vertical supports of the stand.

4. The portable stand in claim 1 has a Cantilever Projector Mount Assembly that provides for individual in and out, left and right, up and down coarse projector adjustment.

5. The Cantilever Projector Mount in claim 4 has a Ram System attached to the Cantilever Projector Mount that allows for fine adjustment of the projector mounting plate pitch, yaw and roll.

6. Each main vertical support of the portable stand in claim 1 provides a tab which acts as a hard point for the mounting of a flat panel display

7. The Main Horizontal Support Bar of the portable stand in claim 1 provides the mounting for a projector screen, coupling of stands, supports the Upper Extension Bar and provides the alternative position for the cantilever mount assembly.

8. The Upper Extension Bar provides an alternative mounting location for a flat panel display or a projector screen while providing an optional physical interconnect between stands.
