Claim:
1. An apparatus for holding a display device, the apparatus comprising: a plate comprising a rear face and a front face opposite the rear face; a plurality of engaging members disposed around a periphery of the plate and extending from the plate in a direction from the rear face to the front face to define an outer boundary of a retention space configured to accept the display device, the plurality of engaging members including a rotatable engaging member configured to rotate between an engagement position configured to secure the display device within the retention space and a disengagement position configured to allow removal of the display device from the retention space; one or more tensioned guide bearings secured to the rear face of the plate adjacent the rotatable engaging member; wherein the rotatable engaging member is connected to each of the one or more tensioned guide bearings; wherein the each of the one or more tensioned guide bearings includes a tensioning element configured to pull the rotatable engaging member in a direction toward the engagement position; wherein the each of the one or more tensioned guide bearings are configured to allow movement of the rotatable engaging member along an axis of the plate between a first position corresponding to the engagement position and a second position corresponding to the disengagement position; wherein the tensioning element is configured to pull the rotatable engaging member in the direction toward the engagement position by being configured to pull the rotatable engaging member toward the first position and to resist movement of the rotatable engaging member in a direction toward the second position; wherein the rotatable engaging member is rotatable between the engagement position and the disengagement position that allows removal of the display device when the rotatable engaging member is in the second position wherein at least one of the one or more tensioned guide bearings includes a lug extending from the tensioned guide bearing into a path of the rotatable engaging member between the first position and the second position; and wherein the rotatable engaging member includes at least one tab configured to engage the lug to prevent rotation of the rotatable engaging member when the rotatable engaging member is in the disengagement position and maintain the rotatable engaging member in the disengagement position.
