Embodiment Construction

[0021] The invention generally applies to monitors with improved stability. In particular, the present invention relates to flat screen monitor assemblies having touch screens with touch sensor capabilities. The monitor assembly displays stable in the upright position when a touch input is entered anywhere on the touch screen, and when successive touches are entered on the touch screen. If the monitor screen is angled relative to the base portion of the monitor assembly, the monitor assembly remains stable when touch input enters the touch screen.

[0022] The "touch input" used herein refers to touching the touch screen to generate a touch signal that can be recognized by the touch system. A touch signal can be generated by approaching the touch input such that the touch screen is not actually touched to generate the signal. However, most commonly, a touch signal is generated by a physical touch input to the touch screen. Typically, the amount of force required to sense a ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a monitor with touch sensor capabilities having enhanced stability features. One embodiment of the invention is a monitor with touch input capabilities that includes a monitor panel, a base, an upper support member, and a lower support member. The upper support member is secured to the monitor panel at first and second locations, and is further secured to the base. The lower support member is secured to the panel at third and fourth locations that are lower relative to the first and second positions. The lower support member is also secured to the base. In some embodiments of the invention, the upper support member is adjustable to allow the monitor panel to rotate about the lower support member from an upright position to an angled position relative to the base.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to monitors and monitor stands. More specifically, the present invention relates to a monitor stand for a monitor with touch input capability. Background technique [0002] Monitors, especially desktop computer monitors, typically include a stand having a base unit and attachment features such as a monitor stand to secure the monitor to the base. Known monitor stands are usually implemented as a pivot device which allows the monitor to pivot relative to the base unit in order to adjust the direction in which the monitor screen is facing. For example, a vertically pivoting member allows the monitor to move up and down between a substantially upright position generally perpendicular to the base unit and a position inclined relative to the upright position. [0003] No. 6,288,891 discloses a touch input monitor, which includes: a monitor screen with a front surface integrated with the monitor screen and a rear surface; a ba...
