  • Patent number: 4768744
    Abstract: A method is provided for supporting a load such as a computer terminal by balancing the load with two opposed parallel forces of different magnitudes which are algebraically added with the weight of the load to result in a gravitationally neutral or statically stable (or dynamically stable) condition whereby the load remains in any position to which displaced and whereby displacement of the load can be effected with ease. There is provided an apparatus for accomplishing the aforegoing which employs a lever for engaging the load for multi-dimensional adjustment to a selected spatial position. A first gravitational control engages the lever and counteracts the weight of the load with a force in excess of that necessary to balance the load.

  • Patent number: 4562987
    Abstract: A computer terminal support includes two vertical posts about which respective pivoting collars are free to pivot. Each pivoting collar is affixed to a swivel arm. A terminal support tray is affixed to an outer end of the outer one of the two swivel arms to thereby provide a substantial coverage area over which the computer terminal may be disposed. A vertical adjustment of the position of the outer pivoting collar on the outer vertical post is provided in order to permit adjustment of the vertical position of the display screen of the display device of the computer terminal. A horizontal pivot and a vertical pivot are provided for rotation of the computer terminal and its associated display screen of the display device in order to permit angular adjustment of the display screen anywhere within the coverage area for avoiding interference from glare.
