Abstract:
A table top display device casing having a movable generally upstanding window frame for receiving an LCD of the device, and the casing including a housing with a horizontal base, an open sloping front aperture against which the window frame fits, a rear panel and a base, in which the window frame is pivotably supported centrally to the housing to allow the frame to swing away from the front aperture between two positions, a first position where the frame fits against the aperture and obscures the aperture and a second position, above the first position, where the frame fits against the aperture and obscures a portion of the aperture, a platform normally mounted inside the housing below the window frame and slidable generally horizontally on the base, a mechanically linking member extending from a pivotable connection adjacent a rear of the platform and pivotable connection to a lower part of the window frame, and an intermediate pivotable connection between the linking member mounted inside the housing and positioned forward of the rear panel, such that when the window frame moves from the first position to the second position the platform is moved substantially out of the housing by the linking member.
