Abstract
A device comprising a main support an equipment support having a first position and a second position adjustable relative to the height of the main support. A first crank lever is mounted to the first bearing and rotatable about a first rotational axis via a first shaft. A connecting rod is connected to the first crank lever via a first joint and to the equipment support via a second joint. A guide is arranged such that the equipment support is displaceable while guided to remain parallel to the main support. The equipment support passes an upper dead center position when moving from a first to a second position by rotation of the first crank lever and, upon further rotation a stop element contacts a stop.
