Abstract

A system includes a base, and an actuator having a first end and a second end. The system also includes a shaft configured to rotate relative to the base, and a drive link fixed to the shaft. The system further includes a support arm. A first end of the support arm being fixed to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes commensurate rotation of the support arm. The system also includes a timing link having a first end pivotably connected to the base and a second end opposite the first end. Additionally, the system includes a mount coupled to the second end of the timing link. The mount is configured to maintain a substantially constant orientation relative to the base as the support arm transitions between a raised position and a lowered position.

Dependent claims

A system configured to support a device, the system comprising:

a base having a top surface;
a shaft having a longitudinal axis extending substantially parallel to the top surface, the shaft being supported by the base;
an actuator supported by the base, the actuator being configured to drive rotation of the shaft about the longitudinal axis;
a support arm connected to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes commensurate rotation of the support arm;
a timing link supported by the top surface of the base, the timing link having a first end pivotably connected to the base, and a second end opposite the first end;
and
a mount coupled to the second end of the timing link, the mount being configured to maintain a substantially constant orientation relative to the base as the support arm transitions between a raised position relative to the base and a lowered position relative to the base.
