Abstract
A tilt mechanism for tilting a cathode-ray tube viewing screen on which information is electronically displayed is disclosed. The screen is hingedly secured to a planar base for tilting from a vertical position in which it is substantially balanced through positions of progressively increased tilt in which the weight of the tube and associated parts becomes progressively displaced and the screen becomes more unbalanced. A camming bracket, pivotally mounted to the tube is spring urged into engagement with an abutment fixed relative to the base by a spring. The cam and the spring interact to counterbalance the viewing screen at all positions of tilt of the screen.
