Abstract
A support system for a display device includes a first arm configured to extend from a support surface. A second arm is rotatably connected to the first arm. The second arm has a range of movement relative to the first arm. A ring housing is rotatably connected to the second arm. A tilt ring is moveably connected to the ring housing and configured to connect to a display. An adjustment mechanism is configured to move the tilt ring relative to the ring housing to modify the frictional engagement of the tilt ring and the ring housing.
Claims17
A support system for a display device comprising:
- a first arm configured to extend from a support surface;
- a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, the second arm having a range of movement relative to the first arm;
- a head joint rotatably connected to the second arm, the head joint including a joint body member;
- and
- a tilt mechanism disposed at least partially within the head joint, the tilt mechanism including
- a ring housing rotatably received within the head joint, and
- a tilt ring received within the head joint and including a mount configured to connect to a display, the tilt ring extending into an opening in the ring housing and slidable relative to the ring housing to adjust a tilt of the display,
- wherein the tilt ring and the ring housing are configured for co-rotation about a first vertical axis (A5) and wherein the tilt ring and the ring housing are inhibited from rotating relative to each other about the first vertical axis (A5);
- wherein the tilt mechanism is rotatable relative to the head joint about the first vertical axis (A5) and a second horizontal axis (A6);
- and
- wherein the tilt mechanism is rotatable about the first vertical axis (A5) via rotation of the ring housing relative to the head joint.
A support system for a display device comprising:
- a first arm configured to extend from a support surface;
- a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, the second arm having a range of movement relative to the first arm;
- a head joint rotatably connected to the second arm;
- and
- a tilt mechanism disposed at least partially within the head joint, the tilt mechanism including
- a ring housing received within the head joint, the ring housing rotatable relative to the head joint about a vertical axis (A5), and
- a tilt ring received within the head joint and including a mount configured to connect to a display, the tilt ring rotatably fixed to the ring housing for co-rotation about the vertical axis (A5), the tilt ring slidable relative to the ring housing for rotation about a horizontal axis (A6).
A support system for a display device comprising:
- a first arm configured to extend from a support surface;
- a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, the second arm having a range of movement relative to the first arm;
- a head joint rotatably connected to the second arm, the head joint including a joint body member;
- and
- a tilt mechanism disposed at least partially within the head joint, the tilt mechanism including
- a ring housing rotatably received within the head joint,
- a tilt ring received within the head joint and including a mount configured to connect to a display, the tilt ring extending into an opening in the ring housing and slidable relative to the ring housing to adjust a tilt of the display, and
- a cradle positioned within the ring housing and pivotally connected to the ring housing, wherein pivoting movement of the cradle adjusts a frictional force on the tilt ring.
