at least one bias element having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to the cam follower.
2. The lift system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bias element is a spring.
3. The lift system of claim 1 , comprising:
a bias element holding bracket configured to engage the second end of the at least one bias element; and
an adjustment element configured to engage the bias element holding bracket.
4. The lift system of claim 1 , wherein the object is an electronic display.
5. The lift system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cam engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism is incorporated into the four-bar arm mechanism.
6. The lift system of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is a plate.
7. A lift system comprising:
a bracket configured to support an object;
a four-bar arm mechanism having a first end and a second end, the first end being movably engaged to the bracket;
a first cam and a second cam, the first and second cams engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism; and
a base including:
a first cam follower configured to engage the first cam and move laterally in response to rotation of the first cam;
a second cam follower configured to engage the second cam and move laterally in response to rotation of the second cam;
at least one first bias element having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to the first cam follower; and
at least one second bias element having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to the second cam follower.
8. The lift system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first bias element is at least one first spring, and wherein the at least one second bias element is at least one second spring.
9. The lift system of claim 7 , wherein the base further comprises:
a bias element holding bracket configured to engage the second end of the at least one first bias element and the second end of the at least one second bias element; and
an adjustment element configured to engage the bias element holding bracket.
10. The lift system of claim 7 , wherein the object is an electronic display.
11. The lift system of claim 7 , wherein the first cam engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism and the second cam engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism are incorporated into the four-bar arm mechanism.
12. A lift system comprising:
a bracket configured to support an object;
a four-bar arm mechanism having a first end and a second end; the first end being movably engaged to the bracket;
a first cam and a second cam, the first and second cams engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism; and
a base including:
a first cam follower configured to engage the first cam and move laterally in response to rotation of the first cam;
a second cam follower configured to engage the second cam and move laterally in response to rotation of the second cam;
a first holder configured to support the first cam follower;
a second holder configured to support the second cam follower;
a first plurality of springs, the first plurality of springs having a first end and second end, the first end engaged to the first holder;
a second plurality of springs, the second plurality of springs having a first end and second end, the first end engaged to the second holder;
a bias element holding bracket configured to engage the second end of the first plurality of spring and the second end of the second plurality of springs; and
an adjustment element configured to engage the bias element holding bracket.
13. The lift system of claim 12 , wherein the object is an electronic display.
14. The lift system of claim 12 , wherein the first and second cams engaged to the second end of the four-bar arm mechanism are incorporated into the four-bar arm mechanism.
