Patent ID: 7438269

Claim:
An interface system comprising a flat panel electronic display device and a mounting system, the mounting system comprising: at least one mount comprising a mounting surface for receiving the flat panel electronic display device; a support comprising a base and a support bracket, wherein the base presents an upper horizontal rail for carrying the support bracket and a lower horizontal rail, the support bracket including a portion extending under the lower horizontal rail with a latching element operably coupled thereto, the latching element selectively shiftable between a first position wherein a portion of the latching element is disposed behind the lower horizontal rail to inhibit removal of the support bracket from the base, and a second position wherein the latching element is clear of the lower horizontal rail so as to enable removal of the support bracket from the base; the support and the mount together defining an arcuate sliding connection comprising a guide carried by either the mount or the support, the guide positioned along an arc defining a pivot axis forward of the mounting surface, and a traveler carried by the other of either the mount or the support, the traveler engaged and slidable in the guide, wherein the arcuate sliding connection enables sliding movement of the mount with respect to the support about the pivot axis such that the flat panel electronic display device is tilted about the pivot axis as the mount moves with respect to the support.
