Abstract
Structures and systems are disclosed for supporting tablets or displays. A core arm extends from a rear end toward a front end, in which the rear end is pivotably mounted either directly to a mount structure, or to an extension arm that is mounted to a mount structure. The front end is pivotably mounted to a front mount structure. The core arm can include a gas spring to provide counterbalance force, and a non-adjustable friction pack element for up/down resistance to support different payloads. The counterbalance can be set within the payload range, while the friction offsets the sink or float that would occur for lighter or heavier payloads. The structures and systems can thus be readily configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can conceal cable routing, which is accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance.
