The stand comprises a first stand part (5), relative to which a second stand part (7) can move. The second part has a turning arm (9) turning round an axis (A1) on the first stand part, balanced by an energy store. The energy store acts via a diversion element (14) on an abutment point (15) on the first stand part. The turning axis and the abutment point form a constant vertical plane (16). The diversion element is fitted to the second stand part.
