A stand arrangement () for a medical-optical instrument includes a first link () which is pivotally journalled on a holding unit () with a first rotational joint. The stand arrangement further includes a second link () which is rotatably connected to the first link () via a second rotational joint (). In a forward section () of the second link (), a take-up unit () for medical-optical equipment () is held with a third rotational joint (). The take-up unit () includes a front link () which is coupled to a device for force transmission (). This device is rotatably journalled on the second rotational joint (). In the stand arrangement (), a device is provided for coupling the holding unit and the device for force transmission. This device for coupling includes a flexible force transmitting element () which can be loaded in tension.

Stand arrangement for a medical-optical instrument

The invention relates to a stand arrangement () for a medical-optical instrument. The stand arrangement includes a first link () which is pivotally supported on a holding unit () by a first rotational joint. The stand arrangement () further includes a second link () which is rotatably connected to the first link () via a second rotational joint (). A take-up unit () for medical-optical equipment is held in a forward section () of the second link () by a third rotational joint. The take-up unit () includes a front link () which, in turn, is connected via a third link () and a fourth link () to the second rotational joint (). The holding unit () and the fourth link () are coupled with the aid of a toothed gear unit () in such a manner that the orientation of the front link () does not change with the movement of the first link ().
