Device for supporting a monitor

A device (1) for carrying a monitor (4) comprising a connection element (21) for connection to a monitor (4) and a support frame (20) rigidly connected to an environment for supporting the device (1) against the environment, wherein the connection element (21) and the support frame (20) are arranged pivotably relative to one another, characterized in that the support frame (20) and the connection element (21) are connected by means of a non-uniformly translating transmission for providing the pivotability of the connection element (21) relative to the support frame (20) which are connected pivotably to each other,

• wherein the non-uniformly translating transmission is a coupling transmission (2), and
• wherein the non-uniformly translating transmission is configured in a way that a straight horizontal guidance (9) along a predetermined path length (32) is provided for a predefined point (25) being held at a fixed position relative to the connection element (21) and corresponding to a center of gravity (40) of a monitor (4) connected to the connection element (21) during a pivot movement of the connection element (21) without a change in elevation of the center of gravity (40) by means of the coupling transmission (2) relative to the support frame (20) within a predefined pivot angle.
