A tiltable and/or rotatable support for a display device includes a cam operated locking mechanism operable to positively clamp the support in a selected swivel and/or tilt position and limiting the amount of tilt and swivel to predetermined amounts. The locking mechanism is operated by means of a lever extending through a horizontal slot in the base and is adjustable to compensate for axial tolerance build-up which could otherwise lead to malfunction. The support may be provided as a stand-alone unit or formed integral with the base of the display device.

A tiltable and rotatable support for a unit, for example, a display device comprising a base member and a top member having spherically contoured mating surfaces, a shaft mounted for axial movement extending through apertures in the two surfaces, the aperture in one of said surfaces being in the form of an elongated slot, the arrangement being such that the slotted and companion members are rotatable relative to one another about said shaft and tiltable relative to one another by an amount determined by the longitudinal movement of the slotted member about said shaft, and a locking mechanism operable to cause a brake member supported at one end of the shaft to be brought into frictional engagement with the elongated slotted member to clamp said base and top members together, characterized by the combination of a locking mechanism including a camming mechanism connected between the other end of said shaft and the companion member, so as to be operable to positively draw said brake member into frictional engagement with said slotted member to prevent subsequent tilt adjustment of the members, or to release said brake member from said frictional engagement to enable subsequent tilt and rotate adjustment of the members, and a detent means extending from said brake member co-acting with the other member to limit relative rotation of said members.
