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