Abstract: An adjustable support for a display monitor includes a turntable to allow swivelling and carrying a pair of support tubes on which is mounted a slidable support beam. A carrier having cylindrical bearing surfaces co-operates with skid-pads on the support beam. By sliding the carrier with respect to the support beam the angle of the carrier and hence the angle of the display screen can be varied. A non-magnetic gas strut located in one of the support tubes compensates for the weight of the monitor/carrier assembly. The force exerted by the gas strut is shared between the support tubes by means of a pair of coupled rack and pinions which also allow convenient height adjustment of the support beam, carrier and display monitor.
