The display support frame includes a base frame to be placed against a surface such as a desk, floor, or wall, two elevation arms rotatably coupled to the back end of the base frame, and a tilt frame rotatably coupled to the front end of each elevation arm. A flat screen display may be attached to the tilt frame. An elevation angle between the elevation arms and base frame and a tilt angle between the tilt frame and elevation arms are independently adjustable. After removing the flat screen display, the display support frame folds into a flat pack for convenient storage and transport. The display support frame may be placed in deployed and flat pack configurations without the use of tools. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus, comprising: a base frame; a tilt frame; a first elevation arm; a tilt frame rest attached to said first elevation arm; a second elevation arm; a lower right rotatable joint rotatably coupling a back end of said first elevation arm to said base frame; an upper right rotatable joint rotatably coupling a front end of said first elevation arm to a lower end of said tilt frame; a lower left rotatable joint rotatably coupling a back end of said second elevation arm to said base frame; an upper left rotatable joint rotatably coupling a front end of said second elevation arm to said lower end of said tilt frame; and said tilt frame rest comprises: a clamp base formed with an elongate aperture and a plurality of transverse ridges formed on a top side of said clamp base; a clamp block formed with a plurality of transverse ridges on a bottom side of said clamp block, a clamp knob aperture extending from a top side of said clamp block to said bottom side of said clamp block, and a transverse pin aperture; a guide pin attached to said clamp block, said guide pin extending outward from said bottom side of said clamp block, and said guide pin positioned to engage said elongate aperture in said clamp base; a frame adjustment pin slidably engaged with said transverse pin aperture, an end of said frame adjustment pin extending transversely toward said tilt frame; and a clamp knob passing through said clamp knob aperture, through said elongate aperture in said clamp base, and engaged with a nut positioned beneath said clamp base. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said base frame comprises a left base frame member, a right base frame member, a front transverse base frame member joined to said left base frame member and said right base frame member, and a rear transverse base frame member joined to said left base frame member and said right base frame member. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said lower right rotatable joint is attached to said right base frame member near said rear transverse base frame member and said lower left rotatable joint is attached to said left base frame member near said rear transverse base frame member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising: a first extendable leg slidably engaged with said left base frame member at a front end of said base frame; and a second extendable leg slidably engaged with said right base frame member at said front end of said base frame, wherein said left base frame member and said right base frame member are formed as hollow tubes. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said clamp block is positionable along said clamp base with said plurality of transverse ridges on said top side of said clamp base engaged with said plurality of transverse ridges on said bottom side of said clamp block. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a tilt angle of said tilt frame relative to said first elevation arm is established by said tilt frame in contact with said frame adjustment pin. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of transverse elevation adjustment apertures formed through said first elevation arm near said back end of said first elevation arm. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said frame adjustment pin in said tilt frame rest is a first frame adjustment pin, and further comprising a second frame adjustment pin slidably engaged with a selected one of said transverse elevation adjustment apertures formed in said first elevation arm. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, wherein an elevation angle of said first elevation arm relative to said base frame is established by said second frame adjustment pin in contact with a top side of said base frame. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said tilt frame comprises an upper transverse tilt frame member, a left tilt frame member joined to an end of said upper transverse tilt frame member, a right tilt frame member joined to an opposite end of said upper transverse tilt frame member, and a lower transverse tilt frame member joined to said left tilt frame member and said right tilt frame member. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said upper right rotatable joint couples to said right tilt frame member near said lower transverse tilt frame member and said upper left rotatable joint couples to said tilt frame member near said lower transverse tilt frame member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising two of a display support posts threadably engaged with said lower transverse tilt frame member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said tilt frame further comprises a display support member attached to said upper transverse tilt frame member and said lower transverse tilt frame member. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said display support member is formed with a plurality of fastener apertures positioned to align with a VESA mounting hole pattern on a flat screen display. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said display support member is formed with at least two keyhole apertures. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said display support member is a first display support member, and further comprising a second display support member attached to said upper transverse tilt frame member and said lower transverse tilt frame member. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said tilt frame rest attached to said first elevation arm is a first tilt frame rest, and further comprising a second tilt frame rest attached to said second elevation arm. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a stowed position of said apparatus having a second frame adjustment pin passing through a pin aperture formed in said base frame, through an elevation adjustment aperture formed in said first elevation arm, and through a stowing aperture formed in said tilt frame.
