Inventors: Brugger, Kurt;
Assignee: North American Philips Consumer Electronics Corp. (New York, NY)
Primary Examiner:

Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A pivot mechanism for pivotably mounting a television receiver cabinet on a swivel base includes a molded pivot socket and a molded pivot pin. The pivot socket includes deformable tabs for locking engagement within an aperture in the swivel base. The pivot pin extends through an aperture in the receiver cabinet and includes deformable tabs for locking engagement with the pivot socket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A pivot mechanism for rotatably attaching a first member to a second member includes a socket affixed to the first member and having a aperture therethrough.
A generally cylindrical pivot pin, affixed to the second member, includes a cylindrical portion dimensioned to be received in the aperture in the socket.
The cylindrical portion has a flange at one end thereof which limits travel of the pivot pin in one direction through the aperture.
A deformable retainer at the other end of the cylindrical portion limits travel of the pivot pin in the other direction through the aperture.
The deformable retainer normally has a dimension greater than the diameter of the aperture, and is inwardly deformable to a dimension less than the diameter of the aperture whereby the pivot pin can be inserted in the socket by inwardly deforming the enlarged region.
