Abstract
A support device for a computer monitor or the like having a support platform and an arm connected to the platform and adapted for attachment to a base structure. Positioning of the support platform is secured by frictional engagement of coil springs on surfaces. Release mechanisms may be activated to change diameters of the coil springs, unsecuring the engagement of the springs against the surfaces. Varying spring constants allows progressive release of more than one spring.
