Abstract
A system for carrying an apparatus, such as a monitor, includes a pedestal having a base with a circumferential edge, and a peripheral device to be coupled to the pedestal. The base further includes a coupler for coupling the peripheral device thereto. The coupler is arranged to couple the peripheral device to the circumferential edge at any position thereof. This provides for flexibility and freedom of practical use when the set-up and arrangement of the system are altered, such that no substantial force has to be applied for lifting and rotating the pedestal carrying an apparatus, such as a monitor.
Claims14
A system for carrying a monitor, the system comprising:
- a pedestal having a base with a circumferential edge;
- and
- a peripheral device to be coupled to the pedestal;
- whereby the base comprises means for detachably snap coupling the peripheral device thereto;
- characterized in that the coupling means allows the peripheral device to be detachably snap coupled to the circumferential edge at every position along its perimeter thereof;
- and
- said peripheral device being coupled to a portion, which is less than all, of said circumferential edge.
A pedestal suited for application in a system for carrying a monitor, said pedestal comprising:
- a base having a circumferential edge;
- and
- means for detachably snap coupling a peripheral device to the base;
- characterized in that the coupling means allows the peripheral device to be detachably snap coupled to a portion, which is less than all, of the circumferential edge of the base at every position along its perimeter thereof.
A system for carrying a monitor, comprising:
- a pedestal having a base with a circumferential edge that includes a first coupling portion;
- a peripheral device having a second coupling portion detachably attachable to said first coupling portion;
- said first coupling portion having a leg in contact with a leg of said second coupling portion when said pedestal is attached to said peripheral device;
- said second coupling portion including a gripping projection in contact with said leg of said first coupling portion;
- and
- said peripheral device being attachable to a portion, which is less than all, of said circumferential edge at every position along its perimeter thereof.
