ABSTRACT:
A display device includes a planar display panel, having a display side and an art side, supported at an angle by an angled leg secured to the aft side by a hinge having first and second portions. The first portion is resilient and is secured to the leg near, but spaced apart from, the free end of the leg. The second portion has a first part, secured to the aft side, and a second part, between the first part and the hinge axis, free of the aft side. The leg is movable between a folded position, in which the leg is adjacent the aft side and the free end of the leg is between the hinge and the aft side, and a use position, more than 90.degree. away from the folded position, in which the leg lies at an angle to the aft side with the free end out from between the aft side and the hinge. In the use position, the first hinge portion is flexed and tends to bias the second hinge portion towards the aft side while the hinge itself tends to straighten out, thus biasing the free end towards the aft side. When the two forces balance, a stable use position is achieved.
