Abstract: Spiral springs (20) pressing a lift member (30) in an upward direction is arranged so that wound-up portions (20b) thereof move up and down along lift paths (13a, 13b) according as the lift member (30) moves up and down. In each lift path (13a, 13b) is provided a push-fit portion (40) of which a width is narrower than an outer diameter of the wound-up portion (20b) of the spiral spring (20), and in which according as the lift member (30) is lowered, the wound-up portion (20b) is fitted in such a manner that the wound-up portion becomes radially compressed. Accordingly, a cost-efficient and universally applicable display elevation adjusting apparatus can be provided which can make the operation feeling at the time of raising adjustment constant and can attain adjustment to suit the preference.

Abstract: A stand for a thin display includes a vertical position adjustment mechanism; and a switchover mechanism for switching over between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation of a thin display. When the switchover mechanism has rotated the thin display, the vertical position adjustment mechanism has different movement ranges between the vertical orientation and the horizontal orientation. Accordingly, when the thin display is in a vertical orientation, the lower end of the thin display does not hit against a base, which provides a easy and reliable operation even in a vertical orientation or in a horizontal orientation.
