  • Patent number: 5145134
    Abstract: A tiltable turntable for supporting a display monitor, for example, has a support base, a monitor base, and a post of a substantially H-shaped cross section by which the support base and the monitor base are resiliently coupled to each other for relative tilting and rotational movement. The support base has two spaced stoppers. To assemble the tiltable turntable, the support base and the monitor base are sandwiched by the post, and the support base is turned with respect to the monitor base until a retaining member of the post rides over an inclined surface of one of the stoppers. When the retaining member of the post is positioned between the stoppers, the post is retained between the stoppers against dislodgment from the support base and limits the range of relative rotational movement between the support base and the monitor base. The support base and the monitor base are resiliently held together by the retaining member of the post.
