Abstract:

A bracket assembly for remotely controlling a flat panel television is disclosed. The bracket assembly comprises four threaded rods in a rectangular configuration whereby each rod supports multiple moveable carriages. Each carriage is joined to the flat panel television by a rigid tube. Movement of the carriages causes the rigid tubes to position the flat panel television accordingly. Additionally, each carriage is controlled by a processor and remote control device. In this manner, the flat panel television may be orientated in any number of positions. The remote control device may also incorporate a default signal and/or preprogrammed television signal which correspond to television positions stored in the processors. Alternative designs include the use of telescoping members and an independent frame member in combination with a rotatable joint member.
