Looking for Specific retractable hinge....need help
Bonoscot:
Hey guys/gals.
Im about to start a new project but im looking for a specific part if anyone can help me..im looking for a spring activated Lock hinge.
I am building a Touchscreen coffee table soon....i want the monitor to be built into the cabinet and attached to a plate/arms and one the monitor is pushed down on the TV will rise at an angle towards me. Then once i push the monitor/tv down flat it locks into position again.
I have been looking and came across this but it doesnt seem spring activated or lock....Friction hinge
Can anyone help on this? or advise me how i could have the Tv raise towards me when i push down on screen?
thanks in advance

Something like that....but it has to be spring loaded or something as stated that will raise a tv/monitor from a horizontal to about 45-60 degrees viewing angle...when sitting on sofa

Sounds like you're planning something that works like "Project Morph" by g-rock26.
This thread talks a bit more about the build and has a link to the actuator and talks about about the shroud to mask the backside when tilted up..
