Display unit with tilt mechanism

Claim 1

A display unit, comprising: a body including a display screen having a length and a width; a tilt mechanism including a support mounted on a bottom of said body, said support including first and second continuous outer surfaces, each in the shape of a segment of a cylinder, and having respective parallel center axes of curvature extending in the direction of said width and spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to said length and said width; a base having a plurality of projections extending in the direction of said length including a first projection terminating at a first apex and a second projection terminating at a second apex spaced from said first apex in said direction perpendicular to said length and said width, said first and second outer surfaces being disposed on said plurality of projections for sliding movement perpendicularly to said direction of said width with said first outer surface being slidably disposed on said first apex and said second outer surface being slidably disposed on said second apex; and means for simultaneously holding said first outer surface in sliding contact with said first apex and said second outer surface in sliding contact with said second apex when said first and second outer surfaces are slidably moved perpendicularly to said direction of said width, whereby said center axes move generally in said direction perpendicular to said length and said width when said first and second outer surfaces are slidably moved perpendicularly to said direction of said width.
