<p>An apparatus (10) is disclosed for supporting a computer monitor (12) of the type which has a thickness substantially less than the height and width thereof, said apparatus (10) comprising: a base structure (14) for resting on a support surface, said structure contacting said surface over a width and depth sufficient to provide a stable base for the computer monitor (12), the front of said structure extending under at least a portion of the monitor (12); a support member (142) attached to the monitor (12) for supporting the same; an elongated linkage (18) having a rear pivot attachment (20) to said base structure (14) and a front pivot attachment (22) to said support member (142); said rear pivot attachment (20) permitting said linkage (18) to pivot from a generally horizontal position to a generally vertical position; said front pivot attachment (22) permitting the support member (142) and monitor (12) to pivot to assume a tilt angle within a predetermined limited vertical range during normal use and to pivot rearwardly so that said support member (142) and monitor (12) are generally parallel to said linkage (18) for shipping and/or storage.</p> |
