Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS606986
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Apparatus for connecting a display panel (22) to a housing (24), particularly a housing of a computer system is described. The apparatus comprises connection means (52, 54) for housing (24) pivotally connecting the panel (22) to the housing so that the display surface (34) of the panel is rotatable upwards to positions suitable for displaying computational messages. Friction means are provided, to generate sufficient frictional force between the housing (24) and panel (22) to support the panel in at least two different predetermined display positions, comprising interengaging grooves and projections (172b, 172c). Preferably, the connection means comprises two connectors (52, 54) each comprising a hinge bracket attached to the housing and a hinge pivotally connected to the panel. The hinge may slide relative to the hinge bracket so that the panel may be caused to first slide away from the housing and then rotate so that the keyboard and other controls in the housing are more accessible. A latch device may also be provided for connecting the display panel (22) to the housing (24) when the panel (24) when the panel (22) is in the closed position for convenient transportation of the panel together with the housing.
