Abstract:
1. A display mounting apparatus for movably supporting a display on a stationary support, the display having a weight and a center of gravity, the display mounting apparatus comprising: means for mounting the display mounting apparatus to the stationary support; a support beam; means for movably attaching said support beam to said means for mounting the display mounting apparatus; at least one counterbalancing tilt mechanism supported by said support beam, said counterbalancing tilt mechanism including a torsion spring; a first display support bracket supported by said counterbalancing tilt mechanism for tilting rotation relative to said support beam; a second display support bracket supported by said counterbalancing tilt mechanism for tilting rotation relative to said support beam, said first and second display support brackets being adapted to cooperatively support the display for tilting rotation about a tilt axis relative to said support beam; and a frictional damping mechanism for damping the tilting rotation of the display relative to said support beam, wherein said counterbalancing tilt mechanism includes a load carrying structure, and wherein said frictional damping mechanism is isolated from a load due to the weight of the display by placing said damping mechanism outside said load carrying structure of said counterbalancing tilt mechanism.
