Tilt and swivel adjustment of a flat panel display including detents for
landscape and portrait positions and a kickout feature for preventing
contact between the flat panel display and its base. A stand for the
display includes a neck member coupled to the base member and a riser
member which is slidable with respect to the neck member. The display is
mounted to an upper portion of the riser member via a swivel apparatus
which allows a user to pivot the display between landscape and portrait
orientations. The swivel apparatus includes a cam and corresponding ramp.
When the display is pivoted between the portrait and landscape
orientations, the cam and ramp cause the display to be tilted with respect
to the stand such that a lower portion of the display is tilted away from
the base member, thereby preventing contact therebetween. The swivel
apparatus includes a bearing member which is mounted between the display
and a portion of the swivel apparatus which is pivotable with respect to
the display. The bearing member includes a bearing surface providing a
wear-resistant and smooth frictional pivot coupling. The bearing member
also includes one or more integrally formed projections, each of which
mates with a first corresponding receptacle when the display is in the
portrait orientation and with a second corresponding receptacle when the
display is the landscape orientation. Thus, the bearing member provides
both a bearing surface and detents.
