Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for stably holding a monitor or other device at a predetermined position requested by a user.

  Conventionally, a monitor arm described in Patent Document 1 is known as a monitor arm that holds a device such as a monitor in a predetermined position requested by a user. This device includes three arms, a proximal arm, an intermediate arm, and a distal arm, which are pivotally supported via a hinge device so as to be adjustable in angle with each other. The proximal arm is fixed to the support member, and the base plate is connected to the distal arm. Equipment is attached to the pedestal plate. The hinge device includes a pivot that pivots between the arms, and a fixed side guide and a movable side positioning guide that define an angle between the arms. The fixed-side positioning guide is formed with a plurality of circumferential gear-shaped engaging grooves around the pivot axis around the bearing portions of the proximal end arm and the distal end arm. The movable side positioning guide is provided on the intermediate arm, and includes an engaging claw that selectively engages with an engaging groove of the fixed side positioning guide, and a lever that operates the engaging claw. The mutual angle of the proximal arm and the distal arm relative to the intermediate arm is set by engaging and disengaging the engaging claw with respect to the engaging groove by operating the lever. The pedestal plate is supported so as to be rotatable around the central axis with respect to the tip arm, and is fixed by tightening a screw, and can be rotated by loosening. By rotating the pedestal plate, the monitor can be rotated on a plane parallel to the screen and fixed at an arbitrary rotational angle position.
