A camera mount that can provide high stability, ease of operation, and flexible configurations for different applications and installation scenarios. The camera mount has an improved attachment mechanism that provides multiple locking positions and strengthened positioning pins. The camera mount has a plurality of anchoring devices capable of securing the camera mount on different curved surfaces.

Implementations relate to a moveable display system. In some implementations, a control unit includes a first support and a second support coupled to the first support. The second support is linearly translatable along a first axis in a first degree of freedom with respect to the first support, and at least a portion of the second support is linearly translatable along a second axis in a second degree of freedom with respect to the first support. The control unit includes a display unit rotatably coupled to the second support. The display unit is rotatable about a third axis in a third degree of freedom with respect to the second support, and the display unit includes a display device.

A motorized pentagram armature comprises a parallelogram with a bridge piece positioned at a centroid base, to enable pivotal mounting of the armature to the bridge piece. Plural motors allow movement of the elements of the armature to allow manual or automated positioning of any article carried on the end of a reach arm, for positional movement of the article.

Support systems and stands for electronic devices include tilt hinges, lift arms, and their component parts. Some tilt hinges include assemblies for guiding and retaining bars or protrusions into preferred positioning within receiver openings to unify the parts, particularly as they move, and to reduce wobble or slop in the joints. Lift arms provide simplified and low-cost guidance and counterbalance mechanisms for controlling movement of the electronic device relative to the base of a stand. In some cases, the lift arms have sheaths to help protect or cover mechanisms while allowing additional space for the mechanisms within the lift arm. Other interconnection systems hide and protect a connector interface between the stand and the electronic device within a housing until unlocked and the connector is moved into an exposed position. These systems improve efficiency, comfort, ergonomics, accessibility, and user satisfaction of the electronic devices and their supports.

A supporting device including an installation assembly; a first supporting arm assembly having a longitudinal direction, a first end, and a second end; a switching bracket; a bearing unit pivotally connected to the switching bracket; and at least one gas spring is provided. The first end is pivotally connected to the installation assembly. The switching bracket is pivotally connected to the second end of the first supporting arm assembly. The gas spring is disposed in the first supporting arm assembly and is respectively connected to the switching bracket and the installation assembly to provide a supporting force. Each gas spring has a hollow tube, a piston rod, and a compression spring. The piston rod is slidably disposed through the hollow tube and has a head. The head may be varied between maximum and minimum protruding positions relative to the hollow tube. The compression spring is sleeved on the piston rod.

A kit of parts for use in demountably configuring a variety of structural assemblies. A kit may comprise a plurality of cylindrical structural components configured for engagement with various types of male connector components along the sides or at the ends of the cylindrical structural components, there provided for demountable engagement of a female-end socket component at the end of another cylindrical structural component. The kit may additionally comprise components for one or more of roller carriage assemblies and/or one or more of sliding carriage assemblies configured for rolling or sliding movement along rail assemblies comprising a plurality of cylindrical, square, rectangular, or octagonal track components. The rail assemblies may be supported by bases comprising the cylindrical structural components and other components such as weight components, as well as threaded foot components or threaded caster components on which the rail assemblies can be adjustably levelled.

An orthotic device is coupleable to a fastener installation tool and is configured to be worn on an appendage of a user of the fastener installation tool. The orthotic device is configurable between a relaxed state and a rigid state, and includes at least one activation component responsive to an activation signal output by a controller in communication with the fastener installation tool. The at least one activation component changes the orthotic device from the relaxed state to the rigid state in response to operation of the fastener installation tool.

A gantry-type positioning device includes a planar base parallel to first and second directions. Two first linear axes are arranged in the first direction, each having a first linear drive. A frame held by the first linear axes is movable in the first direction, and comprises two transverse and two longitudinal beams. The transverse beams carry second linear axes with second linear drives parallel to the second direction, so that a movable element arranged between the transverse beams is movably held by the second linear actuators. The frame is flexibly constructed such that the movable element is rotatable about a third direction which is perpendicular to the first and second directions. With respect to the third direction, the movable element is guidable by a guide surface of only one of the transverse beams serving as a guide beam for the movable element.

Improvements in a shield is disclosed. The steady shield integrates a vest with a shield that can be made from a protective ballistic material that protects the user from projectiles, bottles, heat or debris. An adjustable arm connects the vest to the shield and allows the shield to be moved at least one of towards, away and to the sides and higher and lower relative to the user. Once the shield is positioned the shield will remain in the set position to allow both arms and hands of the user free for other activities. The shield also provides a platform for the storage of tools or other features such as, but not limited to, ammunition, tear gas, water, first aid, lighting, radio, camera, GPS or other display.
