  • Patent number: 7283354
    Abstract: A monitor apparatus including a monitor main body to display a picture, and a base supporting the monitor main body, the monitor apparatus including: a link provided between the monitor main body and the base; a monitor hinge interposed between the monitor main body and the link and rotatably supporting the monitor main body to the base; a base hinge having a base bracket interposed between the base and the link and rotatably supporting the link to the base; a protruding portion formed in one of the base bracket and the link; and a rotation restricting portion provided in the other one of the base bracket and the link, elastically contacting the protruding portion, and preventing the link from rotation so as to keep the monitor main body rotated in a position parallel with the base. With this configuration, a link of a monitor is prevented from being rotated due to the weight thereof and the link when the monitor is in parallel with a base.
