Abstract
A vertical adjustment feature for a mounting system, such as a mounting system with a single articulating arm. A tool such as a hex wrench is used to rotate an adjustment bolt, which is threadedly engaged with a threaded nut. An axle is slidably received within a support arm end. Slots are positioned on the left and right sides near the top end of the primary axle. The primary axle slides up and down within the support arm end in conjunction with rotation of the adjustment bolt, enabling an associated flat panel television or other display device to move upwards or downwards relative to a wall or other support surface.
