Computer display screen system and adjustable screen mount, and swinging screens therefor
First Claim
1. A modular display system comprising:
- a base assembly;
a first support arm, operably coupled to said base assembly;
a second support arm secured to said first support arm and having at least a pair of coupling assemblies for securing to portions of first and second liquid crystal display (LCD) panels;
a third support arm secured to said first support arm and having at least one coupling assembly for supporting a third LCD panel on said third support arm; and
wherein said third support arm may be readily detached from said first support arm to enable said display system to be modularly configured as either a two panel LCD display system or as a three panel or greater LCD display system.

Abstract
A dual screen display system having, a base, a pair of electronic display screens, an arm assembly supporting the display screens and connected to the base, swingable mountings for swingably mounting the display screens, the mountings being adjustable as to the angular orientation of each of the display screens relative to the arm assembly between a first arrangement with the screens in a common plane, and a second arrangement in which the screens are inwardly swung positions thereby to permit each of the screens to be swung into desired operative angular orientation, and adjustable movement limiting devices, engaging the swinging mountings and limiting movement of the screens. Also disclosed are interchangeable mounting brackets for mounting screens of varying sizes, or for mounting screens in various configurations, and hingeable and rotatable support members for supporting the screens so the screens are swingable to face in opposite directions. A modular display system is also disclosed which allows a one, two three or four display panel system to be formed.

14. A modular support system for display panels, the system comprising:
-
a base structure;
a first support arm removably attachable to the base structure;
a second support arm removably attachable to the first support arm for supporting display panels;
a third support arm removably attachable to the first support arm for supporting display panels;
