Patent number: 7621579Abstract: A display unit is provided, the display unit including a housing configured for mounting in an interior region of a vehicle, and a screen mounted on the housing for movement between a stowed position wherein the screen is at least partially contained within the housing and a deployed position wherein the screen projects from the housing to reveal a viewing surface of the screen. The display unit further includes a lock mechanism adapted to selectively retain the screen in the stowed position. Upon release of the lock mechanism, however, the screen is free to be pivoted away from the stowed position, and in one embodiment, is automatically pivoted at least partially away from the stowed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2004Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Rosen Entertainment Systems, L.P.Inventor: John B.

Patent number: 6510049Abstract: An adjustable multi-positional display monitor for accommodating varied viewing positions. The display unit includes a swivel portion, a pivot portion and a screen. The swivel portion is rotatable relative to a reference surface about a first axis, which extends through the reference surface. The pivot portion has a proximal and distal region, the proximal region pivotally coupled to the swivel portion to accommodate pivot of the pivot portion relative to the swivel portion about a second axis which is normal to the first axis. The distal region is associated with a screen which is rotatable about a third axis which extends though a planar viewing surface of the screen so that the screen can be positioned for viewing from an upright, inverted and recumbent position regardless of the orientation of the reference surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Rosen Products LLCInventor: John B. Rosen

Publication number: 20020149706Abstract: A video display system comprising a utility structure having a top and a free edge with a slot recessed into that free edge. The system includes at least one guide rail configured to attach to the utility structure, typically within the slot. A movable carrier is configured to slide within the slot along the guide rail coplanar to the top surface. A display screen with a viewing surface is mounted on the carrier and is sized to fit within the slot. Typically, the display screen is pivotally mounted on the movable carrier to provide for deployment of the screen. First, the screen is deployed by translation of the screen and carrier along the guide rail between a stowed position and an intermediate position. Then, the display screen is pivoted about a first axis, typically parallel to an edge of the display screen, from the intermediate position to a deployed position wherein the viewing surface is presented above the horizontal surface for viewing in a generally vertical orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2001Publication date: October 17, 2002Applicant: Rosen Products LLC.Inventor: John B.

Publication number: 20020009921Abstract: An articulable projecting plug is disclosed that provides for interchangeable mechanical connection between one of several electronic-signal ports such as video-signal ports, and housing/support structure associated with an electronic device such as a flat-screen television. The plug also accommodates video communication between a video-signal source and such television. The plug includes joining structure constructed to bring the plug into contact with the port and hold them both in such joined relationship. The joining structure includes an outer surface and holder structure for holding the first end of an elongate conductor so that joinder of the plug with the port will also result in contact between such first end and the port. The plug also includes an elongate projecting member terminating with first and second ends, with the first end being operatively connected to the joining structure so that the projecting elongate member extends from it and away from the port.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2001Publication date: January 24, 2002Applicant: Rosen Products LLC.Inventor: John B.
