Patent number: 11947391Abstract: Structures and systems are disclosed for supporting tablets or displays. A core arm that is configured to have a range of rotation based on angle length of a track or tunnel, an angle length of a joint rotation stop structure, and an angle length of a floating stop key. The core extends from a rear end to a front end of the structure. The core arm can also include a floating stop key that is movable with the track or tunnel of the core arm structure. The structures and systems can thus be readily configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can conceal cable routing, which is accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: GCX CorporationInventors: Paul Rene Borloz, Joshua Kawarii Littlefield, Robert Peter Glaser

Patent number: 11761574Abstract: Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: GCX CorporationInventors: Robert Peter Glaser, Joshua Kawarii Littlefield, Cristian J.

Patent number: 11530774Abstract: Improved support structures and systems are disclosed for installing tablet devices, display screens, flat screen monitors, or medical devices within a wide variety of environments. A core arm extends from a rear end, toward a front end, in which the rear end is configured to be pivotably mounted either directly to a mount structure, or to an extension arm that in turn is mounted to a mount structure. The front end is configured to be pivotably mounted to a front-end panel mount structure. The structures and systems can be configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can provide fully concealed cable routing, in which one or more cables are readily accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance, which can provide a clean structure that can readily be serviced and cleaned as desired.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: GCX CorporationInventors: Paul Rene Borloz, Joshua Kawarii Littlefield, Robert Peter Glaser

Patent number: 10948946Abstract: Structures and systems are disclosed for supporting tablets or displays. A core arm extends from a rear end toward a front end, in which the rear end is pivotably mounted either directly to a mount structure, or to an extension arm that is mounted to a mount structure. The front end is pivotably mounted to a front mount structure. The core arm can include a gas spring to provide counterbalance force, and a non-adjustable friction pack element for up/down resistance to support different payloads. The counterbalance can be set within the payload range, while the friction offsets the sink or float that would occur for lighter or heavier payloads. The structures and systems can thus be readily configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can conceal cable routing, which is accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: GCX CORPORATIONInventors: Paul Rene Borloz, Joshua Kawarii Littlefield, Robert Peter Glaser

Patent number: 10702976Abstract: Presented here is a pole clamp that can be operated by a single hand, and which can clamp onto objects of various sizes and shapes. The clamp can be operated using a handle which, when pushed in an opening direction opposite a base member, opens the jaws on the clamp. The motion of the handle can adjust the opening of the jaws. In addition, the opening of the jaws can be adjusted using a thumb dial which can shorten and lengthen a locking member, which in turn adjusts the opening of the jaws. The clamp can lock onto the object when the handle is pushed in a direction opposite the opening direction, past the dead center point, and the locking member prevents further movement of the handle.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: GCX CorporationInventors: Carl Hermann Poppe, Ronald Jesse Caywood

Patent number: 9759371Abstract: Enhanced variable-height mounting arms comprise structures that allow any of improved cleanability and/or improved adjustment of height or counterbalancing. An exemplary enhanced variable-height arm comprises an upper shell structure that substantially extends over the upper and side regions of the mounting arm, forming a four-bar linkage. A lower cover is mounted to the upper cover across the bottom side of the arm, and defines holes therethrough for extension of the opposing ends of the arm. The variable-height arm further comprises a bias element, wherein one end of the bias element is adjustably fixable in relation to a defined curve, non-linear path or slot, such as within a curved slot. The variable-height arm may preferably further comprise a mechanism for adjusting any of the height or counterbalance for the structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: GCX CorporationInventors: Paul Rene Borloz, Joshua Kawarii Littlefield, Cristian J.
