BACKGROUND

[0001] Pivoting wall mounted appliance supports are useful for mounting televisions or other appliances which are to be viewed or actuated. Such supports allow mounting of an appliance at a useable height without the use of furnishings which consume floor space.

[0002] Known wall mounted appliance supports include provisions for mounting on a flat wall surface. These known supports are typically fastened to a wall by driving screws through the support perpendicularly to the wall surface. However, mounting the known appliance supports to an inner corner of a wall presents a substantial challenge since the known supports do not have a shape which complements a wall inner corner. Further the known supports do not include mounting structure which allows their fastening to studs at a wall corner.

[0003] It would be desirable to provide an appliance support which could be interchangeably mounted at a wall corner or a flat portion of a wall.

SUMMARY

[0004] The present invention provides an appliance support assembly including a wall bracket. The wall bracket has a channel-shaped body including first and second sides which are substantially perpendicular to each other, and a third side which connects the first and second sides. The first side includes a first mounting aperture, the second side includes a second mounting aperture, and the third side includes a third mounting aperture. Guide portions operatively associated with each of the first and second mounting apertures for guiding screws through the mounting apertures are provided. An arm is pivotably connected to the bracket about a first axis at a first end of the arm.
