Abstract
A monitor having a monitor body and a base member supporting the monitor body includes a link member positioned between the monitor body and the base member, a base hinge connecting one end of the link member with the base member in a tiltable manner to control the link member to be tilted relative to the base member within a predetermined degree of angle, a monitor hinge connecting the other end of the link member with the monitor body in the tiltable manner, an assistant link member transmitting a tilting movement of the link member relative to the base member to the monitor body, a first torsion coil spring elastically biasing the base member and the link member in opposite directions when the link member is forwardly tilted relative to the base member, and a second torsion coil spring elastically biasing the link member and the monitor in opposite directions when the monitor body is forwardly tilted relative to the link member. With this configuration, a monitor body can be easily adjusted in its height and viewing angle. Especially in a case of the monitor having a large-sized monitor body, the height and viewing angle thereof can be easily adjusted, and the viewing angle of the monitor body originally set up can be maintained when the height of the monitor body is adjusted. Also, a tilting angle of the monitor body can be adjusted relative to the base member.
