  • Publication number: 20070041150
    Abstract: A tilting mechanism comprises a first component intended to mount a flat panel display and a second component intended to be secured to a support. The first component has first and second pivots and the second component has first and second elongated slots into which the first and second pivots respectively are received so that the first component can be moved relative to the second component to adjust, in use, the tilt of the flat panel display. In use, an upper one of the elongated slots extends at an angle upwardly and forwardly of the second component, whilst the lower one of the elongated slots extends upright or upwardly and rearwardly of the second component.

  • Publication number: 20050258321
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for attaching an LCD screen to the underside of a surface comprises a first bracket component adapted to be mounted indirectly to said surface, a second bracket component adapted to be engaged to the LCD screen and a third bracket component in relatively slidable engagement with said first bracket component, and pivotally connected to said second bracket component. The second bracket component has a pair of lateral wings which can be moved into the first bracket component by pivoting the second bracket component relative to the third bracket component, and then sliding the third bracket component into the first bracket component.

  • Patent number: 6318726
    Abstract: A game apparatus, comprising a body, having a rotational axis and a non-planar surface, and a support, is disclosed. The support supports the body in a starting position, whereat the axis is horizontal, a center of gravity of the body is below the axis and the surface presents upwardly, and enables the body to rotate about the axis through a range of rotation. Playing pieces are provided. The surface includes playing positions, a socket being provided at each playing position, for releasably retaining selected ones of the playing pieces in fixed position relative to the surface upon selective distribution of said selected ones of the playing pieces to respective ones of the playing positions. The body is adapted for variable pivotal displacement about the axis relative to the starting position by effect of gravity responsive to said selective distribution. A scale for measuring said variable pivotal displacement is also provided.
