Support apparatus

Abstract

[Object] To propose a novel and improved support apparatus in which the apparatus can be miniaturized more effectively, while also minimizing limitations on the attitude of the apparatus. [Solution] Provided is a support apparatus including: a drive motor, a link mechanism that, by transmitting motive power output from the drive motor, is extendable and contractable in response to the motive power, and a pair of rotating bodies that act as a variable speed mechanism that outputs the motive power to the link mechanism by a reduction ratio according to an attitude of the link mechanism. At least part of the link mechanism forms a trapezoidal link mechanism.
