Console display hinge system

A lighting console comprising a control panel and a display panel, wherein the display panel is rotatably coupled to the control panel by a display hinge system comprising a latching hinge and a friction hinge, wherein:

• the latching hinge comprises:
• a latching hinge moulding fixedly coupled to the control panel;
• a first toothed locking plate translatably and non-rotatably mounted to the latching hinge moulding;
• a second toothed locking plate fixedly coupled to the display panel;
• and
• a latch lever mechanism mechanically coupled to the first toothed locking plate and configured to move the first toothed locking plate toward and away from the second toothed locking plate, wherein:
• in a first configuration of the latch lever mechanism, teeth of the first toothed locking plate do not engage the teeth of the second toothed locking plate and the display panel is free to rotate relative to the control panel;
• and
• in a second configuration of the latch lever mechanism, the teeth of the first toothed locking plate engage the teeth of the second toothed locking plate and prevent the display panel from rotating relative to the control panel;
• and
• the friction hinge comprises:
• a friction hinge moulding fixedly coupled to the control panel;
• a friction hinge cap fixedly coupled to the display panel;
• and
• a torque hinge having a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is mechanically coupled to the friction hinge moulding and the second part is mechanically coupled to the friction hinge cap,
• wherein the friction hinge is configured to resist rotation of the display panel.
