Abstract: A tilting mechanism comprises a first component intended to mount a flat panel display and a second component intended to be secured to a support. The first component has first and second pivots and the second component has first and second elongated slots into which the first and second pivots respectively are received so that the first component can be moved relative to the second component to adjust, in use, the tilt of the flat panel display. In use, an upper one of the elongated slots extends at an angle upwardly and forwardly of the second component, while the lower one of the elongated slots extends upright or upwardly and rearwardly of the second component.

Abstract: A mounting assembly comprises a mounting element for attachment to a surface, a cap engaged with the mounting element for angular movement relative thereto and having a slot therein through which extends an arm of a support member, there being at one end of the arm a ball which is received in a socket defined between the cap and the mounting element. A coupling nut is engagable with the mounting element so that in a first, tightened state, the nut locks the cap in its selected angular orientation relative to the mounting element, thereby retaining the arm in its selected position in the slot and the support member in its selected rotational position relative to the cap. In its second, unscrewed state, the nut allows adjustment of the cap, arm and support member correspondingly to adjust the orientation of an object mounted by the mounting assembly.
