ABSTRACT:
A display assembly that includes a flat panel display and a display stand. A hinge that attaches to the housing of the display provides for tilt adjustment. The display stand includes two rails that attach to a base and a sliding frame that is coupled to the hinge. The two rails support the sliding frame such that the sliding frame can move up and down along the two rails. A rotary dampener dampens downward movement of the sliding frame. The display stand also includes a latching mechanism that selectively latches the sliding frame to one of the rails. The latching mechanism includes a handle that can be manually operated so as to selectively engage and disengage the latching mechanism. Movement of the handle of the latching mechanism releases the latching mechanism. The display can then be moved up or down as desired to accommodate the needs of a particular user. Once the display is positioned as desired, the release of the handle operates to engage the latching mechanism. The display assembly of the present invention allows for maximum utility of desk space, has a limited footprint, and is easily adjustable. Also, the flat panel display may be mounted to structures using a mounting plate, and can be mounted to structures such as adjustable arms, walls, etc.
