MULTIDIRECTIONAL DISPLAY MOUNT
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.
X-RAY DETECTOR HOLDER STAND
An X-ray detector holder stand maintaining the position of a detector is proposed. A pillar erected on a base has a sliding window formed on the front surface of a pillar housing to extend upwards/downwards. A rack is fixed inside the pillar housing to extend perpendicularly. A wire is wound around multiple pulleys to extend perpendicularly to the front/rear side of the rack. A balance weight is coupled to the wire behind the rack inside the pillar housing. An arm includes a sliding block guided along the sliding window, a stopper gear coupled to the sliding block to rotate between a locking position and an unlocking position, an elastic pressurizing means for pressurizing the stopper gear to rotate to the locking position, and a lever means for rotating/operating the stopper gear to the unlocking position. A holder is coupled to an end portion of the arm to enable rotational manipulation.
LIFTING SUPPORT DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPERATION
A lifting support device that includes a linear actuator including a first end configured to support an object, and a load sensor positioned to determine application of a first load on the load sensor by at least the object. The linear actuator is maintained in equilibrium when supporting the first load. The lifting support device further includes a controller coupled in communication with the load sensor, and the controller is configured to selectively actuate the linear actuator in response to application of a second load on the load sensor.
STAND EQUIPPED WITH COUNTERBALANCE UNIT
A stand includes first to fourth links, first to fourth joints, a front link, first to fifth extension links, and first to fourth extension joints. The first to fourth links are arranged in a parallelogram configuration, wherein the first and third links are arranged on opposite sides and the second and fourth joints are arranged in a diagonal direction. The front link extends from the first link. The first extension link is rotatably connected to the second joint. The second extension link is rotatably connected to the first extension joint. The third extension link is rotatably connected to the second extension joint. The fourth extension link is arranged between the third extension joint and the fourth extension joint. The fifth extension link is arranged between the first joint and the second extension joint. The first, fourth, and fifth extension links are in parallel with one another.
Load support mechanism
To realize a mechanism that can support an article at a desired position in such a way as to be able to move the article, with a thin, simple configuration. A load support mechanism 1 includes a fixed support section 2, which includes a fixed cam 8; a movable support section 3, which receives a load and can move vertically; a horizontal cam groove 13, which is provided in the movable support section; a cam follower member 15, which can move horizontally along the cam groove; a first spring 4, which is mounted between the fixed support section and the movable support section to support a load; and a second spring 18, which pushes the cam follower member horizontally and presses the cam follower member against a fixed cam surface 9 of the fixed cam. A reaction force of the fixed cam against the cam follower contains a vertical component depending on a height position of the movable support section, and the vertical component assists or reduces the spring's force to push up the load. A cam shape of the fixed cam surface is provided in such a way that the load acting around the cam follower, the spring forces of the first and second springs, and the reaction force applied from the fixed cam are balanced against each other.
Elevatable supporting device
An elevatable supporting device for bearing a display is provided. The elevatable supporting device comprises an upright, an energy storage element, and a bearing module. The upright includes a first surface and a second surface which is non-parallel to the first surface. The energy storage element abuts against the first surface and the second surface and includes a first arm providing a first resistance and a second arm providing a second resistance. A first included angle is defined between the first arm and the second arm. When the energy storage element moves from the highest position to the lowest position, the first included angle decreases so that one of the first resistance and the second resistance may increase in order to maintain a total effective resistance along the first axis. Accordingly, the display may be able to stop at any position between the highest position and the lowest position.
WALL-MOUNTED SUPPORT DEVICE
A support device includes a slide frame defining a receiving space that has an opening suitable for facing a wall surface, a sliding unit slidable on the slide frame and suitable for connection with at least one of a display screen and a work platform, and a load-adjusting unit disposed in the receiving space, connected to the slide frame and the sliding unit, and switchable between a movable state, in which it is movable and brings the sliding unit to move therealong, and a locked state, in which it generates a supporting force that supports the sliding unit to maintain at a desired fixed point. A control unit is disposed on the sliding unit and includes an operating member for controlling the movement of the load-adjusting unit.
GRAVITY BALANCED MONOPOD SYSTEM AND METHOD
In one aspect, the disclosure includes a monopod that comprises an elongated linear body that extends along a main axis between a top-end and a bottom-end, the body including a plurality of telescoping segments configured to allow the body to extend and contract along a length of the body by at least a second segment slidably residing within a first segment; one or more cavities defined by the body and configured to hold a fluid; and a fluid assembly that is configured to allow the fluid to pass from a fluid source and into the one or more cavities under the control of a fluid-control interface.
ELEVATABLE SUPPORTING DEVICE
An elevatable supporting device for holding a display module which is defined with a normal direction is provided. The elevatable supporting device comprises a frame, at least one rail module, a sliding element, and at least one constant force spring. The rail module includes an outer rail and an inner rail, wherein the outer rail is fastened to the frame and formed with a lateral opening for the inner rail sliding therein. The sliding element is formed with an inner space for the rail module penetrating through. The sliding element is secured to the inner rail so as to slide on the frame. The constant force spring is disposed on the top of the frame and connects to the sliding element at a free end thereof. Thus, the elevatable supporting device is characterized in having a slim structure.
LIFTING DEVICE
A lifting device for holding a display is provided. The lifting device has a slim appearance, wherein a width of a frame of the lifting device is 5-30 mm. The lifting device holds the display on a working surface through a plurality of constant force springs.
