Abstract
A support structure for supporting a display comprising a base element, an arm coupled to the base element, the arm extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, a head for movably supporting the display on the arm, and a linkage assembly movable along the longitudinal axis. The linkage assembly includes a spring having a plurality of spring constants configured to generate a force that counteracts a weight of the display to maintain the display in a plurality of positions relative to a surface.

A support structure for supporting a display, the support structure comprising:
- a base element;
- an arm rotatably coupled to the base element, the arm defining a longitudinal axis extending between a first end of the arm and a second end of the arm;
- a head for movably supporting the display on the arm;
- and
- a linkage assembly movable along the longitudinal axis, the linkage assembly including a spring having a plurality of spring constants configured to generate a force that counteracts a weight of the display to maintain the display in a plurality of positions relative to a surface.
A support structure for supporting a display, the support structure comprising:
- a base element;
- an arm coupled to the base element, the arm extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end;
- a head for movably supporting the display on the arm;
- and
- a linkage assembly including
- a slider movable along the longitudinal axis,
- a first link pivotally connected to the base element and the slider,
- a second link pivotally connected to the slider and the head, and
- a spring positioned in the slider,
- wherein the spring includes a first portion having a first spring constant and a second portion having a second spring constant that is greater than the first spring constant, and
- wherein the second spring constant is positioned closer to the head than the first spring constant.
A support structure for supporting a display, the support structure comprising:
- an arm extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end;
- a tilt head rotatably coupled to a first end of the arm, the tilt head including
- a joint body movably connected to the support structure,
- a pan head received in the joint body and movable relative to the joint body, and
- a ring received in the pan head, the ring movable with the pan head to adjust the display to a plurality of different tilt angles, the ring rotatable relative to the pan head to adjust the display to a plurality of different rotational angles relative to a surface;
- and
- a linkage assembly positioned in the arm and coupled to the tilt head, the linkage assembly configured to rotate the tilt head when the arm rotates to counteract the rotation of the arm and maintain a consistent orientation of the tilt head.
