Tilt Mechanism For A Display

An apparatus, comprising:

• an electronic display mount configured to couple to and support an electronic display;
• a support member for supporting the electronic display mount with respect to a support surface;
• and
• a tilt mechanism coupled between the electronic display mount and the support member, the tilt mechanism comprising:
• a first bracket coupled to the electronic display mount;
• a second bracket coupled to the support member and pivotally coupled to the first bracket about a tilt axis;
• a first spring wound about the tilt axis and comprising a first end engaged with the first bracket and a second end engaged with the second bracket, the first spring exerting a first torque between the first and the second brackets in a first direction about the tilt axis;
• and
• a second spring wound about the first spring and the tilt axis such that the first spring is located at least partially within the second spring, the second spring comprising a first end engaged with the first bracket and a second end engaged with the second bracket, the second spring exerting a second torque between the first and the second brackets in the first direction about the tilt axis.

A method for tilting an electronic display coupled to a support member by a tilt mechanism, comprising

• moving the electronic display in a first direction about a tilt axis, comprising:
• rotating a first tilt bracket coupled to the electronic display through a first angular range of motion about the tilt axis with respect to a second tilt bracket coupled to the support member;
• loading a first spring wound about the tilt axis with a first torque corresponding to a first portion of the electronic display's weight;
• and
• loading a second spring wound about the first spring and the tilt axis, such that the first spring is located at least partially within the second spring, with a second torque corresponding to a second portion of the electronic display's weight.
