Abstract
Provided is a monitor stand, capable of preventing an “auto-lift” phenomenon that occurs when a monitor installed thereon is tilted past a predetermined angle, due to a shift in the monitor's weight. The monitor stand includes a base, a stand body, a stand top, a stop slide, a first elastic member, and a one-way clutch assembly. The stand body is supported by the base. The stand top is pivotably supported on the stand body. The top slide slides along the stand top, has a rack extending in a sliding direction fixed thereto, and has a monitor installed thereon. The first elastic member is supported by the stand top, to impart elasticity in an upward direction to the top slide. The one-way clutch assembly is capable of engaging and disengaging to and from the rack, to prevent the rack from rising when engaged to the rack.
