Abstract

A stand for movable equipment has a first stand part and a second stand part that is movable relative to the first stand part and includes a pivot arm hinged to the first stand part and pivotable around a pivot axis. An energy storer provides weight equalization. The energy storer exerts a force on the pivot arm, by means of a deflecting element that is directed towards an abutment point on the first stand part. The pivot axis and the abutment point always define a vertical plane. The deflecting element is arranged on the second stand part.
