Abstract:
A tiltable viewing screen includes a display screen bezel used in conjunction with a special seal which permits the screen to be pivoted without losing the sealing effect between the environment and a sealed cabinet in which the screen is mounted. The bezel is provided with axles at each side located at the midpoint between top and bottom of the bezel which permit rotation about a horizontal midline. In order to provide a constant gap between the rectangular bezel and the cabinet wall as the bezel is tilted about its axis, the bezel is shaped along its top and bottom surface in a constant radius arcuate contour. The radius is defined by the distance between the outer surface of the bezel and the axis of rotation. Various sealing materials, including pile seal or an elastomeric gasket, may be used. The preferred embodiment includes an LCD computer monitor, however, different viewing panels may be mounted within the bezel.
