Abstract
A display stand includes a base, a leg and a bracket. The bracket is mounted to a backside of the base and includes a bridge for receiving the at least one portion of the leg. The bridge includes a first detent and a second detent. The portion of the leg that is received by the bridge is movable into a first position or a second position. A different portion of the leg mates with the first detent to support the display stand at a first viewing angle when the leg is rotated while in the first position. Yet another portion of the leg mates with the second detent to support the display stand at a second viewing angle that is different from the first viewing angle when the leg is rotated while in the second position.
Claims15
A display stand comprising:
- a base;
- a leg;
- and
- a bracket mounted to a backside of the base and including a bridge for receiving at least one portion of the leg, the bridge having a first detent and a second detent;
- wherein:
- the portion of the leg that is received by the bridge is movable into a first position so that when the leg is rotated while in the first position, a different portion of the leg mates with the first detent to support the display stand at a first viewing angle,
- the portion of the leg that is received by the bridge is movable into a second position so that when the leg is rotated while in the second position, yet another portion of the leg mates with the second detent to support the display stand at a second viewing angle that is different from the first viewing angle,
- the first detent extends within a first surface plane, and
- the second detent extends within a second surface plane that differs from and intersects the first surface plane.
A display stand comprising:
- a base;
- a leg;
- and
- a bracket mounted to a backside of the base and including a bridge for receiving at least one portion of the leg, the bridge having a first detent and a second detent;
- wherein:
- the portion of the leg that is received by the bridge is movable into a first position so that when the leg is rotated while in the first positions different portion of the leg mates with the first detent to support the display stand at a first viewing angle,
- the portion of the le that is received b the bridge is movable into a second position so that when the le is rotated while in the second position et another portion of the le mates with the second detent to support the display stand at a second viewing angle that is different from the first viewing angle,
- the bridge comprises an outer surface and an inner surface and is oriented along an axis,
- the outer surface and the inner surface are located at fixed distances from the axis,
- an axial plane is defined through the axis and extends substantially parallel to a back surface of the base,
- the first detent is oriented along a first surface plane that intersects with the axis and the second detent is oriented along a second surface plane that intersects with the axis, and
- the first surface plane of the first detent and the second surface plane of the second detent are each orientated at different angles relative to the axial plane.
A bracket comprising:
- a lower flange and an upper flange;
- and
- a spine coupling the lower flange to the upper flange and being oriented along an axis, wherein the spine is configured to receive a support member and comprises:
- an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface and the inner surface are located at fixed distances from the axis;
- a first shoulder defined between the outer surface and the inner surface of the spine and extends between a first end of the spine and a terminating end, wherein the first shoulder is oriented along a first surface plane that intersects with the axis;
- and
- a second shoulder defined between the outer surface and the inner surface of the spine and extends between a second end of the spine and a terminating end, wherein the second shoulder is oriented along a second surface plane that intersects with the axis;
- wherein the first surface plane of the first shoulder differs from the second surface plane and is oriented at an angle relative to the second surface plane of the second shoulder.
