ABSTRACT:
A disengageable tilt apparatus supports a structure such as an optical scanner for moving and supporting the scanner between vertical and horizontal positions and includes a support member having a cylindrical recessed portion within which is positioned a plastic flexible pivot member which applies a frictional force on the recessed portion to allow the scanner to be rotated and held in an operating position. The pivot member comprises a W-shaped member secured to the scanner having flexible arm members whose outer contact surface coincides with the cylindrical surface of the recessed portion to apply the frictional force.
