Abstract: A spring counterbalanced arm assembly including a base member, a lower arm, an upper arm, a knee bearing member and object supporting means. The lower arm has an elongated, generally tubular member defining an elongated cavity therein. The base end of the tubular member includes means defining a forwardly extending bracket and has pivot means thereon positioned forwardly of an exterior front wall of the tubular member for pivotally connecting the base end bracket of the lower arm to the base member at a first pivot axis of the base member. The knee end of the tubular member includes a forwardly extending bracket having pivot means thereon positioned forwardly of the exterior front wall for pivotally connecting the knee end of the lower arm to a knee end of an upper arm and to the knee bearing member at a first pivot axis of the knee bearing member. The lower arm includes a slider and tension spring enclosed within it to provide counterbalancing force.
