Abstract
A mounting system for a display such as a flat panel computer monitor or television includes a linkage of individual elements which are pivotally connected together with adjustable drag tapered bearings. Each tapered bearing allows individual elements to pivot with respect to one another about an axis defined by the tapered bearing, so that the display can be moved to a variety of different positions. By tightening the adjustable drag, the tapered bearing can lock the elements together.
