Abstract

A stow mechanism for head up display includes a bracket for attachment to an environment associated with the head up display. The stow mechanism can also include a combiner arm rotatably attached to the bracket. The combiner arm rotates in at last two degrees of freedom as the combiner arm is rotated with respect to the bracket from an operational position to a stow position.
