Four bar linkage imaging stand assembly system and method

An imaging stand comprising:

• a base member configured to be supported by a horizontal support plane;
• a vertical support member extending vertically from said base member;
• a boom arm coupled to said vertical support member and displaced from said base member;
• and
• an imaging platform coupled to said boom arm, said imaging platform being movable between a raised position and a lowered position;
• wherein said boom arm includes a forward portion extending forward of the vertical support member;
• wherein said boom arm includes a forward end linkage component coupled to said forward portion;
• and
• wherein said imaging platform is coupled to said forward end linkage component of said boom arm.

An imaging stand comprising:

• a base member configured to be supported by a horizontal support plane;
• a vertical support member having a bottom end coupled to said base member and a top end vertically displaced from said base member;
• a bushing coupled to said top end of said vertical support member;
• a yolk coupled to said bushing;
• a boom arm coupled to said yolk;
• and
• an imaging platform coupled to said boom arm, said imaging platform being movable between a raised position and a lowered position;
• wherein said bushing defines a tapered recess that is configured to receive a bottom end of said yolk.
