Abstract: A load balancing arm for a medical device support system. The load balancing arm includes a proximal hub, an adjustable bearing element, a support arm, a spring and a link. A distal end of the support arm is configured to support a medical device load and a proximal end is pivotably mounted to a main bearing element for pivotable movement about a main pivot axis. The spring extends within a cavity of the support arm and is mounted to exert a biasing force between the main pivot axis and a distal end of the spring. The link has a proximal end pivotably mounted to the adjustable bearing element for pivotable movement about an adjustable pivot axis, and a distal end pivotably mounted to the distal end of the spring such that the biasing force exerted by the spring is transmitted through the link to the adjustable bearing element.

Abstract: A load balancing arm for a medical device support system includes a proximal hub, a support arm, a link, and a distal end vertical block. The components together may form a four bar linkage. The proximal hub is configured for pivotable movement about an axis P-P. The distal hub is configured to support a medical device load for pivotable movement about an axis D-D. The distal hub is mounted to the distal end vertical block for pivotable movement between a first position in which the axis D-D is at a first angle relative to the axis P-P and a second position in which the axis D-D is at a second angle relative to the axis P-P, wherein the first angle is different than the second angle. A parallelism adjustment mechanism enables the axis D-D to be adjusted so as to be substantially parallel to the axis P-P.

Abstract: A support arm for a medical device support system. The support arm includes a proximal hub, a distal hub, and an intermediate beam between the proximal hub and the distal hub. The intermediate beam having a cavity. A tension member extends through the cavity of the intermediate beam and is secured at opposite ends to the proximal hub and the distal hub to secure the proximal hub, the distal hub, and the intermediate beam together.
