Abstract
The present invention pertains to extension arm apparatuses (100, 700) that are adapted to support user devices (116) throughout a range of positions. A given apparatus may include one or more arms (106, 110) that position the user device remotely from a support position. An extension and retraction device (140, 162) such as a gas cylinder is received within each arm (106, 110), and provides a force to support the user device (116) as the arm is placed into.a given position. A variable force clevis (142, 164) is connected to the extension/retraction device within the arm (106, 110). The variable force clevis (142, 164) is connected to a pair of locations in the arm as well. As the arm (106, 110) moves, for instance up or down, the variable force clevis (142, 164) rotates within the arm (106, 110) and dynamically adjusts the force provided by the extension/retraction device (140, 162). Removable and/or pivotable covers (718, 720, 722, 724, 726, 728) are provided for managing cables (716) of the user device (116) attached to the extension arm (700).
