Abstract
Apparatuses for supporting medical equipment are provided. Some apparatuses provide a support arm comprising a resilient assembly. The resilient assembly preferably comprises a detent and receives force imparted upon the support arm. Essentially, the assembly limits stress imparted upon the support arm and any other structure that the support arm is operatively connected to thereby making the apparatuses more durable. Another apparatus provides a collet for preventing a support arm from sliding from a housing. Yet another apparatus provides spacers than can be used to virtually extend the length of a support arm. Methods of adjusting a support arm are also provided.
