Method and system for display assembly hinging

A system for supporting an overhead display assembly of an electronic machine, the system comprising:

• a monitor frame configured to support a display monitor, the monitor frame translatable between an operational position and a maintenance position angularly displaced from the operational position by a predetermined angle;
• a support stanchion comprising a first anchor end, a second coupling end, and a stanchion body extending therebetween, the first anchor end configured to couple to a supporting structure;
• and
• a counter-balanced hinging mechanism coupled to and between the second coupling end and the monitor frame, the counter-balanced hinging mechanism comprising:
• one or more pivot bars configured to permit the monitor frame to pivot with respect to the support stanchion;
• and
• a bias member coupled to the one or more pivot bars, the bias member configured to apply a variable amount of force to the one or more pivot bars, wherein
• the variable amount of force maintains the monitor frame stationary in an intermittent position between the operational position and the maintenance position.

A method of supporting an overhead display assembly, the method comprising:

• providing a counter-balanced hinging mechanism, wherein the counter-balanced hinging mechanism comprises:
• one or more pivot bars;
• and
• a bias member coupled to the one or more pivot bars, the bias member configured to apply a variable amount of force to the one or more pivot bars;
• coupling the counter-balanced hinging mechanism to a support stanchion;
• and
• coupling a monitor frame to the counter-balanced hinging mechanism.
