ABSTRACT

An adjustable monitor stand for pivoting a monitor about a horizontal axis
which is relatively simple to operate and which does not require great effort
to adjust is provided. The stand includes a base, a platform for holding the
monitor, and a hinge interconnecting the base and the platform. The hinge
includes a torsion spring selected with regard to the mass of the monitor and
the distance of its center of gravity from the axis so that the gravitational
torque produced as the monitor is pivoted with the platform about the
horizontal axis is always substantially balanced by the restoring torque
generated by the spring. The stand therefore requires very little effort to
adjust.
