Abstract:

An improved restraint system is disclosed for preventing a television set from tipping over and falling from a mounted position upon a table surface. The present system comprises an upper harness having a pair of adjustable straps joined together at their base in a bifurcated configuration, each of the straps being provided at their uppermost ends with a clip member having a hook-like form intended to engage the rear housing cover of a conventional television set. The upper harness straps are secured at their base to a mounting plate adapted for attachment to the back edge of the table surface so that the upper harness straps may extend upward onto the rear housing cover and engage both sides thereof via the clip members. A separate lower anchor strap, also adjustable in length, is further secured to the mounting plate and adapted to extend downward and outward having a base plate connected at its lower end that may be secured to the floor or wall in proximity to the table to maintain its stationary position and stabilize the television mounted thereon.
