Apparatus support console with adjustable support plate

An apparatus support console comprising a pedestal having a foot (1), a support element (2) extending from the foot (1), a telescopic structure (3) including two spaced telescopic members (31, 32) longitudinally slidably supported in the support element (2) so as to be movable therein by a certain maximum length, each telescopic member (31, 32) comprising a toothed rack structure (33) with a resilient latch member (21) provided on the support element (2) for each toothed rack structure (33), the toothed rack structures (33) and the resilient latch members (21) forming ratchet structures providing for a retaining force permitting movement of the telescopic member (3) when a force exceeding the engagement force provided by the resilient latch members (21) is applied to the telescopic members (31, 32) whereby each latch member (21) is pivoted outwardly while the telescopic member (31, 32) is moved longitudinally into, or out of, the support element (2) and reengaged with the respective toothed rack structure (33) for locking the spaced telescopic members (31, 32) in any desired position in the support element (2), and at least a first pivot joint structure (4), supported by the spaced telescopic members (31, 32) and another pivot joint structure (5) being supported by a second support element (6) mounted to the first pivot joint structure (4), the second support element (6) including the other pivot joint structure (5) carrying an apparatus support plate (7) for engaging and retaining an apparatus or apparatus holder in a position conveniently adjustable by a selection of the extension of the telescopic members (31, 32) and the pivot position of the pivot joint structures (4, 5).
