Abstract
A monitor stand for use in holding and maintaining a position of a monitor comprising a carrier adapted to removably and fixedly hold a monitor, the carrier including first and second trapezoidal shaped cubic mounting protrusions on a bottommost portion of the carrier, and wherein the carrier is further adapted to rotate between a first angular placement and a second angular placement, a base enclosure adapted to provide a substantially stable platform to hold the monitor in an upright condition and to provide a frictional engagement against which the carrier can rotate, the base enclosure including first and second base enclosure channels, a low friction insert adapted to be inserted between the carrier and the base enclosure and which is part of the frictional engagement of the base enclosure, the low friction insert including a first and second channel insertion portions adapted to fit into the first and second base enclosure channels respectively, and wherein the first and second trapezoidal shaped cubic mounting protrusions of the carrier fit into the first and second channel insertion portions, respectively, and first and second spring retention assemblies, each of which is adapted to provide a substantially constant rotational spring force against a direction of movement of the monitor due to gravity, and which are affixed to the first and second protrusions respectively.
