  • Patent number: 4901973
    Abstract: The invention is a support base for a CRT console, the base comprising at least two stacked generally planar elements having aligned frontal margins with a corner at each end. Pivot means are provided in the corners to permit the upper element to pivot with respect to the lower element about the pivot points selectively. Anti-friction means are provided between the upper and lower elements. Restraining means assure that the upper and lower elements will pivot only at one of the pivot points. The restraining means also serve to hold down the rear of the upper element so that the console does not pitch forward and fall as the weight of the console moves forward.In one embodiment an intermediate element is disposed between the upper and lower elements and the pivot points comprise pins, one pivotally joining the lower element and the intermediate element at one corner and the other joining the intermediate element and the upper element at the other corner.
