Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
In hanging support apparatus for a load-imposing structure; a. first and second load-transmitting hanger means one of which is connectable to said structure to hang said structure therefrom with tilt controlled by the tilt of said one hanger means, said one hanger means including a pair of hanger elements respectively connectable to said structure at spaced locations, said elements including tubing, the other hanger means supporting said one hanger means, b. said tubing defining elongated arcuate ways through which loading imposed by said structure is transmitted, c. said first and second hanger means being constrained to be relatively bodily shiftable lengthwise of said way for changing the degree of tilt of said one hanger means for controllably tilting said load-imposing structure, and d. said other hanger means including a load-transmitting crossarm connected to and extending between said arcuate ways, said crossarm being lengthwise adjustable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
In hanging support apparatus for a load-imposing structure; a. first and second load-transmitting hanger means one of which is connectable to said structure to hang said structure therefrom with tilt controlled by the tilt of said one hanger means, said one hanger means including a pair of hanger elements respectively connectable to said structure at spaced locations, said elements including tubing, the other hanger means supporting said one hanger means, b. said tubing defining elongated arcuate ways through which loading imposed by said structure is transmitted, c. said first and second hanger means being constrained to be relatively bodily shiftable lengthwise of said way for changing the degree of tilt of said one hanger means for controllably tilting said load-imposing structure, and d. said other hanger means including a load-transmitting crossarm connected to and extending between said arcuate ways, said crossarm being lengthwise adjustable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 including said structure in the form of a television receiver having a cabinet, and a frame to which said one hanger means is rigidly connected.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said tubing has inverted U-shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said tubing projects and terminates in cantilever relation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said other hanger means also includes a vertical swivel supporting said crossarm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 in which said crossarm has telescoping sections.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said arcuate ways are downwardly concave.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said crossarm defines slots into which said ways are downwardly receivable.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
132 words
In combination with load-imposing structure in the form of a television receiver having a center of gravity, hanging support apparatus for said structure comprising: a. first and second load-transmitting hanger means one of which is connected to said structure to hang said structure therefrom with tilt controlled by the tilt of said one hanger means, the other hanger means supporting said one hanger means, b. selected hanger means defining an elongated arcuate way through which loading imposed by said structure is transmitted, said way being approximately circular about a horizontal axis through said center of gravity; and c. said first and second hanger means being constrained to be relatively bodily shiftable lengthwise of said way for changing the degree of tilt of said one hanger means for controllably tilting said load-imposing structure.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
132 words
In combination with load-imposing structure in the form of a television receiver having a center of gravity, hanging support apparatus for said structure comprising: a. first and second load-transmitting hanger means one of which is connected to said structure to hang said structure therefrom with tilt controlled by the tilt of said one hanger means, the other hanger means supporting said one hanger means, b. selected hanger means defining an elongated arcuate way through which loading imposed by said structure is transmitted, said way being approximately circular about a horizontal axis through said center of gravity; and c. said first and second hanger means being constrained to be relatively bodily shiftable lengthwise of said way for changing the degree of tilt of said one hanger means for controllably tilting said load-imposing structure.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 9 in which said one hanger means includes a pair of hanger elEments respectively connected to said structure at spaced locations.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 10 wherein said one hanger means includes tubing defining said arcuate way, said other hanger means being connected to said arcuate way.
