Display stand with latching mechanism

A latch mechanism for securing a display stand in a reclined position, comprising:

• an upper hinge configured to include a slot;
• an upper linkage bar;
• an upper pin coupled to the upper linkage bar;
• an upper linkage coupled to the upper linkage bar;
• a tower hinge configured to include a slot;
• a lower linkage bar;
• a lower pin coupled to the lower linkage bar;
• a lower linkage coupled to the lower linkage bar;
• a linkage rocker coupled to the upper linkage and the lower linkage;
• and
• a biasing assembly configured to apply a resilient force that disposes the upper pin in the slot of the upper hinge and the lower pin in the slot of the lower hinge to secure the display stand in the reclined position.

A method for a display stand having a base, comprising:

• rotating a support arm of the display stand toward the base about a lower axis coupled to the base;
• collapsing the support arm to a reclined position substantially parallel to the base;
• rotating a display mount of the display stand about an upper axis coupled to the support arm;
• collapsing the display mount to the reclined position substantially parallel to the base;
• and
• locking the lower axis and the upper axis with a latch assembly coupled to the display stand to secure the support arm and the display mount in the reclined position substantially parallel to the base.
