Abstract: An inclination adapter for a support arm system, the adapter having a base part with an adjusting spindle and an inclination member, the base part and the inclination member pivotably connected to each other and the pivot movement performed via a coupling member which can be adjusted by the adjusting spindle. An inclination adapter which is sufficiently stable for a support arm system and has simple parts is produced because the base part and the inclination member comprise connection plates with central openings. Coupled spaced-apart, mutually facing bearing bars are integrally formed on the base part and the inclination member, respectively, and mounted to be pivotable parallel to the connection plates via the base part and the inclination member.
