Abstract
A rotation base has a base circular structure. A display backing has a backing circular structure. The backing circular structure is rotatably attached to the base circular structure to permit the display backing to rotate between landscape and portrait orientations relative to the rotation base. One of the base and backing circular structures defines a slot. The other of the base and backing circular structures defines a tab rotatably disposed within the slot.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a rotation base having a base circular structure;
- a display backing having a backing circular structure rotatably attached to the base circular structure to permit the display backing to rotate between landscape and portrait orientations relative to the rotation base;
- a slot defined by a first circular structure of the base and backing circular structures;
- and
- a tab defined by a different, second circular structure of the base and backing circular structures, the tab rotatably disposed within the slot.

A rotational mating assembly comprising:
- a base circular structure attachable to or part of a first component;
- a backing circular structure attachable to or part of a second component and rotatably attached to the base circular structure to permit the second component to rotate relative to the first component;
- a slot defined by a first circular structure of the base and backing circular structures;
- and
- a tab defined by a different, second circular structure of the base and backing circular structures.

A method comprising:
- aligning a backing circular structure of a backing at a rotational orientation relative to a base circular structure of a rotation base at which the backing circular structure is attachable to the base circular structure;
- upon alignment, attaching the backing circular structure to the base circular structure, a tab defined by one circular structure of the base and backing circular structures rotatably disposed within a slot defined by another circular structure of the base and backing circular structures;
- and
- rotating the backing between landscape and portrait orientations relative to the rotation base, as permitted by rotatable attachment of the backing circular structure to the base circular structure.
