Premier Mounts has been awarded a patent for the Griplate, a metal plate designed to maintain the desired position of a flat-panel display by registering the mounting screw with the mounting bracket.
The Griplate is an anti-slip plate with protrusions that align with holes on the mounting bracket. Once the plate and bracket have been installed in the desired position, a screw secures the plate, bracket and device together. The flat-panel is held in place by the engagement holes on the bracket and protrusions, without excessive tightening of the screw.
