ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM

摘要

The invention provides an adjustable support system (1) for supporting a load such as a display device (D). The support system includes: a fixing point (4), a mount (8) for the load, and a support arm (2) therebetween, the support arm being pivotally connected to the fixed point and the load; a resiliently deformable element (12) for providing a counterbalancing force on the support arm to at least partially oppose a moment on the support arm about the fixing point resulting from the weight of the load attached to the mount; and an adjustment system for adjusting the resiliently deformable element, the adjustment system being operable to adjust the position of an end of the resiliently deformable element between a first predetermined and defined position relative to the support arm and a second predetermined and defined position relative to the support arm so as to adjust the length of the resiliently deformable element and thereby adjust a preload on the resiliently deformable element.
