An articulable projecting plug is disclosed that provides for interchangeable mechanical connection between one of several electronic-signal ports such as video-signal ports, and housing/support structure associated with an electronic device such as a flat-screen television. The plug also accommodates video communication between a video-signal source and such television. The plug includes joining structure constructed to bring the plug into contact with the port and hold them both in such joined relationship. The joining structure includes an outer surface and holder structure for holding the first end of an elongate conductor so that joinder of the plug with the port will also result in contact between such first end and the port. The plug also includes an elongate projecting member terminating with first and second ends, with the first end being operatively connected to the joining structure so that the projecting elongate member extends from it and away from the port. A pivot is provided so that the projecting member is articulable in a pivot plane. The projecting member also includes a connector located adjacent its second end for fastening to such housing/support structure of the electronic device.

An articulable plug apparatus for use in supporting an electronic device via a frame-mounted receptacle formed in a generally horizontal surface and having an electrical signal port, the apparatus comprising: an elongate conductor structure having first and second ends, the first end of the conductor structure being connectable with the electronic device; joining structure configured for releasable joinder with the receptacle in a generally vertical motion to establish a load-bearing structural support for the apparatus, the second end of the conductor structure being fixed relative to the joining structure so that joinder of the joining structure with the receptacle will simultaneously result in electrical connection between the second end of the conductor structure and the electrical signal port; elongate projecting structure terminating with first and second ends, the first end of the projecting structure being operatively connected to the joining structure and adapted to extend from the joining structures to the electronic device; and a pivot adapted to be disposed between the receptacle and the electronic device and operatively connected to the projecting structure so that the projecting structure is articulable in a pivot plane to allow relative positioning between the electronic device and the frame.
