A vehicle instrument support and storage apparatus for a vehicle driven by a human driver who occupies a driver's seat of the vehicle provides a frame having a plate configured for attachment to a selected vehicle. The frame has a plurality of docking station positions. A rotary bearing is attachable to the vehicle. An instrument support includes a support panel and an arm having an inner and outer end portions, the arm inner end portion being connected to the rotary bearing. The instrument support panel is affixed to the outer end portion of the support arm. The instrument support has a locking portion that interlocks the instrument support to a selected one of the docking stations. An interlock of the instrument support with one docking station places the instrument support panel in front of the driver of the vehicle. An interlock of the instrument support with the other docking station places the instrument support in a position that is spaced away from (laterally, circumferentially and/or radially) first position. A locking portion includes a handle that enables the driver to grasp the handle to simultaneously: 1) move in a pivot motion the instrument support to either one of the docking stations; and 2) selectively connect the instrument support to or disconnect the instrument support from a selected one of the docking stations.

Provided is a three-dimensional moving picture photographing apparatus for photographing a three-dimensional moving picture having a large depth, the apparatus including a horizontal track having a forward/rearward moving track and a leftward/rightward moving track, which are perpendicular to each other, a movable body moved along the horizontal track in forward/rearward and leftward/rightward directions, a horizontal rotary bar having one end connected to the movable body via a rotary shaft, and a camera installation section installed at the other end of the horizontal rotary bar, wherein a front portion of the camera installation section is normally directed in a photographing direction of a front surface even when the horizontal rotary bar is rotated. As a single camera image sensor is used, the three-dimensional moving picture that can be seen without using equipment such as three-dimensional glasses with no optical loss can be photographed. In addition, since the moving picture photographed using the present invention has no problem such as flickering or afterimage and can be seen without using three-dimensional glasses, a person who has only one eye can also see the three-dimensional moving picture. In addition, since the images are photographed while moving in leftward/rightward and forward/rearward directions, the three-dimensional moving picture, which is comfortable, natural and has a large depth, like being seen with the naked eye, can be photographed.

A display support apparatus for supporting a display at a user selected position relative to a support structure , the display support apparatus comprising:a base adapted for attachment to the support structure;a first arm having a range of rotation about a first pivot axis between the first arm and the base, the first pivot axis extending through a first end portion of the first arm;a second arm having a range of rotation about a second pivot axis between the first arm and the second arm, the second pivot axis being located at a proximal end portion of the second arm; anda recess and a detent, the recess being configured to receive the detent when the second arm is in a resting position relative to the first arm, wherein the recess is configured to limit movement of the second arm relative to the first arm about the second pivot axis when the second arm is in the resting position and to permit movement of the second arm relative to the first arm about a transverse axis angled relative to the second pivot axis when the second arm is moved from the resting position.25. The display support apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the recess and the detent are configured to prevent the second arm from being moved pivotally in a plane from the resting position without the detent and the recess first being separated at least a predetermined distance relative to one another.26. The display support apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the detent extends outwardly relative to the first end portion of ...

Принадлежит:

A rotatable connection for a mount device for placement in an operating room includes an adjustable stopping mechanism that can be disposed between a first connection component and a second connection component that is mounted rotatably relative to the first connection component about an axis of rotation. The adjustable stopping mechanism may be adapted to establish at least two different relative rotational angles of the connection components relative to one another or at least two different rotation ranges. The adjustable stopping mechanism includes a rotation lock that can be disposed non-rotatingly at the first connection component and a coupling part that can be disposed non-rotatingly at the second connection component and that has a form-locking contour for establishing individual rotational angle positions, and may include a stopping device with an integral stop. The stopping device may be non-rotatingly positionable. A support system or mount device are also provided. 1. A rotatable connection for a mount device for placement in an operating room , the connection comprising an adaptable stopping mechanism that is disposed between a first connection component , formed as a spindle , and a second connection component , formed as a sleeve , that is mounted on an axis of rotation and is rotatable relative to the first connection component , the stopping mechanism also establishing at least two different relative rotational angles of the connection components relative to one another or at least two different rotation ranges , wherein the adaptable stopping mechanism comprises:a rotation lock that is disposed at the first connection component non-rotatingly;a coupling part that is disposed non-rotatingly at the second connection component and that comprises a form-locking contour for establishing individual rotational angle positions.wherein the adaptable stopping mechanism comprises at least one stopping device with an integral stop,wherein the stopping device ...

A system for mounting a flat panel television or display to a surface such as a wall. A base plate is configured to operatively connect to a surface, while an adapter plate is configured to operatively connect to a display device. A plurality of connecting arms are used to operatively connect the base plate to the adapter plate. Each of the plurality of connecting arms includes a base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with slots in the base plate and an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter plate. Movement of the base plate engagement portions within the base plate's slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate. 1. A display system , comprising:a display unit; and a base portion including an upper portion and a lower portion substantially parallel to the upper portion;', 'an adapter portion;', 'a device mount operatively connected to a display device, the device mount movably coupled to the adapter portion; and', a base engagement portion extending between the upper portion and the lower portion of the base portion, the base engagement portion translatable from a first position to a second position via a top portion of the base engagement portion moving relative to the upper portion of the base portion and a bottom portion of the base engagement portion moving relative to the lower portion of the base portion,', 'an adapter engagement portion movably coupled to the adapter portion, and', 'an intermediate portion extending between the adapter engagement portion and the base engagement portion, wherein the intermediate portion is selectively nested within the base portion when the base engagement portion is at the first position, wherein at least a substantial part of the intermediate portion is not nested within the base portion when the base engagement portion is at the second position;, 'a pair of connecting arms, each of the pair of connecting arms including], 'a mounting ...
