Abstract

An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a stand frame and a display device. The stand frame includes a stand tongue and the display device includes a hinge. The hinge is substantially concealed behind a cover portion of the display device such that only a hinge sleeve component protrudes from the display device. The stand tongue is to insert into the hinge sleeve component to attach the stand frame to the display device, and to detach from the hinge sleeve component by depression of a release button located on the hinge sleeve component.

Claims (27)

1. A system, comprising:

a stand frame including a stand tongue comprising at least one protrusion, the at least one protrusion including an opening; and

a display device that is selectively attachable to the stand frame, the display device comprising a hinge arranged underneath a cover portion of the display device to substantially conceal the hinge,

the cover portion comprising a hinge sleeve component that protrudes from the display device and comprises a cavity to receive and conceal the stand tongue, the hinge sleeve component comprising at least one capturing mechanism,

wherein the stand tongue is to insert into the cavity and the at least one capturing mechanism is to engage the opening of the at least one protrusion to attach the stand frame to the display device, and

wherein the stand tongue is to detach from the cavity by depression of a release button located on the hinge sleeve component.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hinge enables the display device to rotate with respect to the stand frame.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hinge comprises a hinge bracket that rotates with the display device while the hinge sleeve component remains stationary.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a wedge-shaped base component, wherein the stand frame is to attach to the wedge-shaped base component.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display device comprises a monitor, an all-in-one desktop computer, a tablet computer, a television, or a combination thereof.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the stand tongue protrudes substantially horizontally from the stand frame.

7. A system, comprising:

a stand frame including a substantially vertical stand tongue comprising at least one protrusion and the at least one protrusion including an opening; and

a display device that is selectively attachable to the stand frame, the display device comprising a hinge arranged underneath a cover portion of the display device to substantially conceal the hinge,

wherein the hinge includes a hinge sleeve component accessible from a bottom portion of the display device, the hinge sleeve component comprising a cavity to receive and conceal the substantially vertical stand tongue and further comprising at least one capturing mechanism to engage the opening of the at least one protrusion of the substantially vertical stand tongue when the substantially vertical stand tongue is inserted into the hinge sleeve component,

wherein the substantially vertical stand tongue is to insert into the cavity of the hinge sleeve component to attach the stand frame to the display device, and

wherein the substantially vertical stand tongue is to detach from the cavity of the hinge sleeve component by depression of a release button located on the hinge.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hinge enables the display device to rotate with respect to the stand frame.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hinge comprises a hinge bracket which rotates with the display device while the hinge sleeve component remains stationary.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the display device comprises a monitor, an all-in-one desktop computer, a tablet computer, a television, or a combination thereof.

11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a wedge-shaped base component, wherein the stand frame is to attach to the wedge-shaped base component.

12. A system, comprising:

a stand frame including a stand tongue protruding substantially vertically or substantially horizontally from the stand frame, the stand tongue comprising a protrusion including an opening; and

a display device that is selectively attachable to the stand frame, the display device including a hinge arranged underneath a cover portion of the display device to substantially conceal the hinge,

wherein the stand tongue is to insert into a cavity of a hinge sleeve component of the hinge comprising a capturing mechanism to engage the opening of the protrusion to attach the stand frame to the display device, the cavity to receive and conceal the stand tongue,

wherein the stand tongue is to detach from the cavity of the hinge sleeve component by depression of a release button located on the hinge sleeve component or located on the hinge, and

wherein the hinge enables the display device to rotate with respect to the stationary stand frame and stationary hinge sleeve component.
