Abstract
A video display terminal having a quick release tilt and swivel joint for supporting the CRT unit. In a unique swivel alignment between the CRT unit and its base, the CRT unit can be coupled to or separated from the base by merely lowering or lifting the CRT unit. Swivel of the CRT unit from the initial coupling alignment causes engagement of the joint preventing separation. The electrical connections to the CRT unit pass through a self-aligning detachable electrical interface defined by two mating connectors.
