ABSTRACT:
A display support apparatus for supporting a generally flat, video display from a passenger seat arm rest is disclosed. The video display is of the type having a screen mounted on a front face, and the arm rest is of the type having a recess for stowing the video display and the display support apparatus. An angled support arm having first and second ends is included. The support arm has a length at least as long as a diameter of the front face of the video display. A first pivot block is used for pivotally attaching the video display to the first end of the support arm. The first pivot block has a first freedom of movement to permit the video display to be rotated with respect to the support arm between a viewing position and a position in which a side of the video display and the support arm are aligned and substantially parallel with each other to form a generally rectangular configuration which is stowable in the arm rest recess. A second pivot block is used for pivotally attaching the second end of the support arm to a front portion of the arm rest to allow the support arm and video display to be rotated into and out of the arm rest recess.
