  • Patent number: 10154729
    Abstract: An articulating support arm includes a base, a first set of control arms having proximal ends and distal ends, with the proximal ends of the first set of control arms being pivotally connected to the base. The support arm further includes a second set of control arms having proximal ends and distal ends, with the proximal ends of the second set of control arms being disposed forward of and pivotally connected to the distal ends of the first set of control arms. The distal ends of the second set of control arms also are pivotally connected to a control head, and a locking assembly selectively prevents pivotal movement of the control arms, so as to provide vertical adjustment of the control head relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 9625082
    Abstract: A simultaneously foldable multi-screen monitor support having separate support arms connected to separate posts extending from a base. The posts are mounted on end sections of the base and are pivotable about a center section. When one post is moved between a first position and a second position, the other post simultaneously moves between a third position and a fourth position. The movement of one post moves the other post and monitors that are supported on the posts are moved in the same manner from a folded position to an operating position or vice versa.
