Abstract: The support for a load, particularly a lamp, includes a standard spring-loaded arm (3) which is pivotable about a vertical axis and vertically adjustable for holding and positioning the load (4). The spring-loaded arm (3) is connected with other parts (9,8) of the support by engagement of an upwardly directed pin-shaped connector element (5) in a downwardly directed connector pipe or socket section (6), so that the spring-loaded arm (3) is suspended from the other parts. The spring-loaded arm (3) with the upwardly directed pin-shaped connector element (5) has universal applicability in a variety of supports including ceiling or wall supports, which have a cantilever arm (8) from which the connector pipe section (6) extends downwardly, and floor or table supports, which have a stand (14,22) and a support tube (9) extending upward from the stand and having a curved section (10) to which the connector pipe section (6) is attached.

Abstract: Articulated part (1) for a stand (2) with an axially rotatable and vertically swivelable articulated arm (3), wherein the articulated part (1) has a pivot pin (6) which can be connected with a carrier (5) by a connection part (4), and wherein the articulated part (1) has a tilting joint (7) for the articulated arm (3), wherein it is provided according to the invention that the articulated part (1) is essentially formed of a one-part plastic injection-molded part (1.1), wherein the tilting joint (7) has two bearing disks (8) formed of sheet metal which have an opening (9) roughly in the center, wherein the bearing disks (8, 8) are embedded parallel to one another at a distance (A) in the plastic injection-molded part (1.1), wherein the openings (9) form a joint bearing (10) for the tilting joint (7).
