Claims13
A tilt mechanism for a monitor, comprising:
- a support;
- a tilt bracket tiltable relative to the support about a tilt axis of rotation across a range of tilt angles;
- and
- a first compression spring having a first spring axis nonparallel with the tilt axis of rotation and positioned between the support and the tilt bracket to provide a spring torque acting against a monitor torque created by a monitor operably coupled to the tilt bracket,
- wherein an angle formed between the first spring axis and a display surface of the monitor remains constant across the range of tilt angles.
