Patent Images
1. An electronic display with a display element and a mounting apparatus, comprising:
- a retaining element with a first component and a second component, the first component and the second component are connected by a joint, the joint allowing for a pivot about a rotation axis, the first component being integrally formed with the display element;
a triggering element integrally formed on the second component, extending vertical in a direction parallel to a viewable screen of the display element;
a limit stop integrally formed on the second component, extending vertical in the direction parallel to a viewable screen of the display element,the limit stop and the triggering element defining an opening in between, the joint being disposed with in the opening;
the triggering element being configured to break-away in response to at least 200 or more Newtons of force being applied in a first rotation direction of the rotation axis, andthe limit stop being configured to break-away in response to at least 200 or more Newtons of force being applied in a second rotation direction of the rotation axis, the second rotation direction being opposite to the first rotation direction,the triggering element and the limit stop being non-movable prior to at least 200 or more Newtons of force being applied in either the first rotation direction or the second rotation direction.

Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a free-standing display element is disclosed herein. The apparatus is u-shaped, and provides a joint that allows movement in a rotational manner to and from the viewer of the display. The mounting may occur in a motor vehicle. In response to force being applied to the display, the apparatus is configured to either maintain (or lock into a position), or allow movement along the rotational axis.
