A display assembly for a retail product has a base and a platform adjustably mounted on an upper end of the base. The platform includes a lower housing which is pivotally supported in a cradle attached to the upper end of the base. The platform is pivotally mounted on the cradle by a pair of pivot pins, at least one of which is threaded to secure the platform in an adjusted titled position on the cradle. A plurality of notches are formed on the platform housing and selectively engage a detent formed on the cradle to retain the platform in an adjusted position. A sensor may be removably mounted on the platform and connected to the product and to the base by an expandable cord to actuate an alarm if the product is removed in an unauthorized manner from the sensor or base.

The invention claimed is: 1. An adjustable display assembly for a retail product, said assembly comprising: a base adapted to be mounted on a support a cradle coupled to an upper end of the base; a platform pivotally mounted on the cradle; a sensor removably mounted on the platform; and a plurality of notches on one of the platform and the cradle and at least one detent on the other of the platform and the cradle securing the platform on the cradle in an adjusted position for displaying the product at a desired angle. 2. The display assembly defined in claim 1 in which the cradle has a pair of spaced supports; and in which the platform includes a platform housing moveable within the cradle by a pair of pivot pins which pivotally connect the platform housing to the spaced supports. 3. The display assembly defined in claim 2 wherein the platform further includes a top product supporting member having a platform support surface on which the sensor is supported. 4. The display assembly defined in claim 3 wherein the cradle has an edge; and in which the platform housing has a plurality of spaced indicia marks, which when selectively aligned with the cradle edge indicate the angular position of the platform support surface. 5. The display assembly defined in claim 4 wherein the cradle edge is concavely curved; and in which the spaced indicia on the platform housing are spaced lines, each of which represents an angle of the top support surface of the housing with respect to horizontal. 6. The display assembly defined in claim 3 wherein at least one of the pivot pins is adjustable to apply tension between the cradle and platform housing to secure the platform support surface at the selected angle. 7. The display assembly as defined in claim 2 wherein the pivot pins includes at least one threaded member for tightening pivoting tension between the cradle and platform housing. 8. The display assembly defined in claim 1 in which the sensor is adapted to be attached to the product; and in which the sensor is connected to an alarm system to prevent unauthorized removal of the product from the sensor. 9. The display assembly defined in claim 8 wherein the platform includes a self-aligning mechanism for moving the sensor from an unaligned orientation with respect to the base to a chosen display orientation. 10. The display assembly defined in claim 9 wherein the self-aligning mechanism includes a first magnet mounted in the sensor and a second magnet mounted in the platform for moving the sensor automatically to the chosen display orientation. 11. The display assembly defined in claim 10 in which the first magnet is mounted in a post extending from the sensor; and in which the second magnet is a ring magnet mounted in the platform housing surrounding a recess formed therein in which a post is seated. 12. The display assembly defined in claim 8 wherein a cord extends between the sensor and base for mechanically connecting the sensor to the base. 13. The display assembly defined in claim 12 wherein the cord contains a plurality of conductors electrically connecting the sensor to the base; and in which the sensor contains a switch for actuating an alarm upon unauthorized removal of the product from the sensor. 14. The display assembly defined in claim 13 wherein the cord is a coiled expandable cord; and in which the cord is connected to the base by a plug. 15. The display assembly defined in claim 1 wherein the base includes a foundation and a pedestal extending generally vertically from the foundation; and in which the platform is adjustable mounted on an upper end of the pedestal.
