US Patent:

Filed:
Aug 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/505248
Inventors:

Abstract:
A hinge assembly mounts a video display screen to a surface, and more particularly to the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The hinge assembly allows for the pivotal attachment of a video display screen to a surface, preferably the ceiling of a vehicle, using a friction hinge. The hinge assembly may include a resilient washer that is attached to the hinge assembly on a pin. The resilient washer functions to limit axial movement of the hinge assembly along the pin and is adapted to prevent the hinge assembly from locking-up during rotational movement of the video display screen.
