Abstract
Systems and devices relating to the mounting of video display units (VDUs) in vehicles. A mounting system includes a mounting plate that is attached to the floor of the rear passenger area of the vehicle. A hollow shaft is attached to the mounting plate and is vertically positioned relative to the floor. At the top of the shaft, a VDU enclosure is mounted by inserting a portion of the enclosure in the shaft. The enclosure is rigid and has a transparent viewing panel which corresponds to the screen of the terminal contained in the enclosure. The enclosure may be rotated about the shaft and the shaft can pivot abut the plate. This allows the VDU to be positioned to the optimal position for viewing by any of the rear passengers. Also, the VDU may be moved away from either the rear of the front passengers as the need arises. In case of a vehicular accident, the pivotable nature of the shaft allows the terminal unit to not be a safety hazard.
