Self-righting, variable-orientation display assembly

A display assembly comprised of:

• a. a source of generating graphical information;
• b. a display for conveying the graphical information to a viewer;
• c. a display housing for retaining the display;
• d. self-righting means, operatively coupled to the display and display housing, including a bearing assembly and a multi axis biasing means;
• the bearing assembly providing relative rotational motion of the display with respect to the display housing;
• the biasing means urging the display into a substantially upright orientation independent of the orientation of the display housing;
• e. a body;
• and
• f. connecting means, operatively coupling the display housing and body, including at least one pivotable connection for supporting rotational motion of the display housing with respect to at least one a predetermined axis.

A display assembly comprised of:

• a. a source consisting essentially of a clock;
• b. a display for displaying the time;
• c. a display housing;
• d. self-righting means, operatively coupled to the display and display housing, comprised of:
• i. an assembly including at least one bearing, characterized by an axis of rotation, for supporting relative rotational motion of the display;
• and
• ii. multi axis biasing means for urging the display into a substantially upright orientation independent of the orientation of the display housing;
• e. a body;
• and
• f. connecting means, operatively coupling the display housing and body, the connecting means including;
• i. a first pivotable connections, characterized by a first axis of rotation, for supporting rotational motion of the display housing;
• and
• ii. a second pivotable connection, characterized by a second axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the first axis of the rotation.

A display assembly comprising:

• a. a source consisting essentially of a clock;
• a. a display consisting essentially of a liquid crystal display for displaying the time;
• b. a display housing;
• c. self-righting means, operatively coupled to the display and display housing, comprising:
• i. an assembly including at least one bearing, characterized by an axis of rotation, for supporting relative rotational motion of the display;
• and
• ii. a multi axis biasing means for urging the display into a substantially upright orientation independent of the orientation of the display housing;
• d. a body comprising a middle section a base section;
• e. connecting means, operatively coupling the display housing and body, including:
• i. a first pivotable connection, characterized by a first axis of rotation, for supporting rotational motion for the display housing;
• and
• ii. a second pivotable connections, characterized by a second xis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the first axis of the rotation.
