Display support
The present invention is a display support comprising a bracket that is attachable to a display and having at least one wing adjacent to a bracket channel. The bracket channel has at least one keyway. A sleeve is held within the channel and has a keyway aligned with the keyway of the bracket channel to form an aligned keyway. A support arm, held within the sleeve, has a key that can be received in the aligned keyway. Rotation of the support arm in the sleeve is prevented when the key is received in the aligned keyway and rotation of the support is permitted when the key is not received in the aligned keyway.
1. A display support comprising:
a bracket attachable to a display and having at least one wing adjacent to at least one bracket channel, wherein the bracket channel has at least one keyway,
a sleeve located within the at least one bracket channel, wherein the sleeve is held within the channel and has at least one keyway aligned with the at least one keyway of the bracket channel to form at least one aligned keyway; and
a support arm is held within the sleeve and has a bracket portion and a surface portion, wherein the bracket portion has a key that can be received in the at least one aligned keyway,
wherein rotation of the support arm is prevented when the key is received in the at least one aligned keyway and rotation of the support is permitted when the key is not received in the at least one aligned keyway.
2. The display support of claim 1 wherein the at least one aligned keyway is located near a bottom of the bracket channel or sleeve.
3. The display support of claim 2 wherein the key is a key end of the support arm.
4. The display support of claim 2 wherein the sleeve comprises a channel having a partially circular cross-section.
5. The display support of claim 4 wherein the bracket portion of the support arm has a circular cross-section.
6. The display support of claim 4 wherein the bracket portion of the support arm has an oval cross-section.
7. The display support of claim 1 wherein the support arm is perpendicular to the bracket when the key is received in the at least one aligned keyway.
8. The display support of claim 1 wherein the support arm is parallel to the bracket when the key is received in the at least one aligned keyway.
9. The display support of claim 1 wherein the at least one aligned keyway is located near a top of the bracket channel or sleeve.
10. The display support of claim 1 further comprising at least a first and a second aligned keyway.
11. The display support of claim 10 wherein rotation of the support arm is prevented when the key is received in the first aligned keyway or the second aligned keyway.
12. The display support of claim 10 wherein the first aligned keyway is located near the bottom of the bracket channel or sleeve and the second aligned keyway is located near the top of the bracket channel or sleeve.
