Described herein is a swivel mount for rotatably coupling a display to the frame of an exercise machine. The swivel mount includes a rigid arm fixed to one of the display or the terminal end of a frame member, the arm terminating with a ball at its free end. A socket is defined at the other one of the display or frame member which rotatably received the ball. A rotational resistance mechanism is operatively associated with the socket to selectively engage the ball and resist the rotation of the swivel mount. In some embodiments, the arm of the swivel mount may rotate in a conical range of motion for repositioning the display in relation to the frame while the display remains in a fixed position relative to the arm.

An adjustable mounting apparatus for electronic devices is configured to be adaptable to various support structures, and to facilitate a customized mount orientation for the electronic devices through several degrees of pivot freedom. The mounting apparatus is particularly adaptable to outdoor or industrial environments in which standard support structure modalities may not be available.

An angle-adjustable tripod universal joint which has one tripod, three rollers and one universal joint outer part. An inner wall of the universal joint outer part has three roller tracks, and one roller is disposed in each of the roller tracks and rolls along the roller track. The inner cavity of each roller has a rotatably disposed spherical shaft head of the tripod. The inner wall of each roller track has a guiding groove. The peripheral shape of each roller is cylindrical. The bottom surface of the guiding groove is a plane surface, and two side surfaces of the guiding groove are flat surfaces perpendicular to the plane surface. The peripheral surface of each roller is partially inserted into the corresponding guiding groove, and the peripheral surface of the roller is tangent to the corresponding plane surface.

The torque enhancing apparatus including a first socket and a second socket coupled to the first socket, including an extendable moment arm. The torque enhancing apparatus includes a ball pivotably and captively held between the first socket and the second socket. The torque enhancing apparatus may include one or more extendable moment arms. The extendable moment arm or arms are configured such that they provide a mechanical advantage for moving the first socket and the second socket relative to one another. The torque enhancing apparatus may include a first socket, a second socket coupled to the first socket including four extendable moment arms. The torque enhancing apparatus including a ball pivotably held between the first socket and the second socket.

The present disclosure provides an adjustment support assembly and a surveillance camera. The adjustment support assembly includes a first shell, a second shell, a first ball head, a second ball head, and a ball head connecting rod. The first ball head and the second ball head are fixed at two ends of the ball head connecting rod, respectively. The first shell is provided therein with a first ball head fixing portion, and the first ball head is rotatably arranged in the first ball head fixing portion. The second shell is provided therein with a second ball head fixing portion, and the second ball head is rotatably arranged in the second ball head fixing portion. Compared with the related art which adopts a solution with a single ball head, the present disclosure expands a range in which the first shell and the second shell are rotatable relative to each other, that is, expands a range of a rotation angle of the adjustment support assembly, by rotatably arranging the first ball head in the first shell and the second ball head in the second shell.

A locking system securing an image scanning device to a container includes a first and second compressible material. A first securing plate is disposed between the first and second compressible materials, while a second securing plate is adjacent to the second compressible material on a surface opposite a surface of the second compressible material that is adjacent to the first securing plate. A ball is disposed within curved edges of the first and second securing plates, where the curved edges each curve away from the second compressible material. A shaft extends from the ball to the image scanning device. A fastener is secured through the first and second securing plates, and into the securing surface to lock the ball, and subsequently the shaft and image scanning device, in place. The locking system can be secured to a pitched surface to naturally position the image scanning device perpendicular to level ground.

A clamping mechanism embodying the invention may be disposed between a swivel ball and a housing overlying the ball for selectively locking or unlocking the swivel ball relative to the housing. The clamping mechanism includes first and second gears mounted on a compression screw with rotational forces being selectively applied to the first and second gears via respective first and second gear-pawl assemblies. The rotational forces cause vertical (up/down) motion along the screw which increases or decreases the pressure exerted between the housing and the swivel ball which effectively may be used to lock (clamp) or unlock (unclamp) the swivel ball relative to the housing.

The present invention relates to a multiple monitor display apparatus in the form or a laptop PC, a desktop monitor, a mobile device, and the like. In triple screen mode, the additional monitor is typically presented displaying different content and centered to the user. In single screen mode, the additional display enclosures are retracted and stored in such a manner that they do not present themselves to the user. A guiderail assembly is used to center all display enclosures relative to the user. The guiderail assembly may be motorized or manually effected and may be located above or below the primary enclosure hinge. The secondary enclosure may be extended and retracted from the primary enclosure by the use of slider arms. The tertiary enclosure may be extended and retracted from the primary enclosure by the use of slider arms. Independent Hinge that connects both the main holder and side holder have their own swivel mechanism so that the user can change the placement of the monitor according to what the user prefers. In one embodiment, the monitor may be rotated from landscape to portrait view.

A monopod for mounting to the boat seat mount of a marine vessel, such as a bass boat or speed boat, which is capable of providing power for mobile accessories via a second monopod affixed to the navigation light port of the boat. The monopod is extendable to heights up to or exceeding eight feet (8′) above the deck of the boat, providing exceptional views for recording with a mounted camera while users participate in sports or other events within the boat. A release mechanism allows one portion of the monopod to telescope away from a second portion, thereby extending the monopod.

A wrist assembly for a surgical instrument includes a proximal joint member, a middle joint member, and a distal joint member. The proximal joint member defines a concavity formed in a distal facing surface thereof. The distal joint member defines concavity formed in a proximal facing surface thereof, a longitudinally extending central lumen, and a plurality of longitudinally extending radial lumens arranged in a radial array around the central lumen thereof. The middle joint member is interposed between the proximal joint member and the distal joint member. The middle joint member includes a proximal ball connector extending proximally therefrom and a distal ball connector extending distally therefrom, wherein the proximal ball connector is seated within the concavity formed in the distal facing surface of the proximal joint member and the distal ball connector is seated within the concavity formed in the proximal facing surface of the proximal joint member.
