Support device for monitor or display
A support device includes a supporting arm supported on a stationary base, a guiding device attached to the supporting arm and having two channels, a sliding member includes two limbs slidably engaged with the channels of the guiding device for guiding the sliding member to move relative to the guiding device, a carrier is attached to the sliding member for supporting an object, and a spring biasing member is connected between the guiding device and the sliding member for applying a spring biasing force to the sliding member. A friction member is attached to the sliding member and frictionally engaged with the guiding device for applying a resistive force to the sliding member.
1. A support device comprising:
a stationary base,
a supporting arm supported on said stationary base,
a guiding device attached to said supporting arm,
a limiting device attached to said guiding device, said limiting device including a guiding passage formed therein,
a sliding member slidably attached to said guiding device, said guiding passage of said limiting device being provided for slidably engaging with said sliding member,
a carrier attached to said sliding member for supporting an object on said carrier,
a spring biasing member connected between said guiding device and said sliding member for applying a spring biasing force to said sliding member for retaining said sliding member and said carrier at a selected position relative to said guiding device and said supporting arm, and
a friction member attached to said sliding member and frictionally engaged with said guiding device for applying a resistive force to said sliding member.
2. The stable support device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said friction member includes at least one end portion frictionally contacted and engaged with said guiding device for applying said resistive force to said sliding member.
3. A support device comprising:
a stationary base,
a supporting arm supported on said stationary base,
a guiding device attached to said supporting arm,
a sliding member slidably attached to said guiding device,
a carrier attached to said sliding member for supporting an object on said carrier,
a spring biasing member connected between said guiding device and said sliding member for applying a spring biasing force to said sliding member for retaining said sliding member and said carrier at a selected position relative to said guiding device and said supporting arm, and
a friction member attached to said sliding member and frictionally engaged with said guiding device for applying a resistive force to said sliding member, wherein
said guiding device includes two channels formed therein, and said sliding member includes two limbs slidably engaged with said channels of said guiding device respectively for guiding said sliding member to move relative to said guiding device and said supporting arm.
4. The stable support device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said guiding device includes two slots formed therein and communicating with said channels of said guiding device respectively, and said sliding member includes two links slidably engaged with said slots of said guiding device respectively.
5. The stable support device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said sliding member includes a bracket connected to said limbs with said links.
6. The stable support device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said sliding member includes two rollers attached to said limbs of said sliding member and slidably engaged with said channels of said guiding device respectively.
7. The stable support device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said limbs of said sliding member each include a depression formed in the respective limbs for receiving and engaging with said friction member.
