Abstract

A support mechanism adapted for connection to a stand member, and for holding an instrument support arm in a desired position relative to the stand member, includes a receiving member adapted with a first receiving feature for receiving the stand member. A first receiving feature is a through hole adapted for variable positioning along the stand member. The receiving member is further adapted with a second receiving feature for receiving a ball member to form a ball joint. The ball member includes a third receiving feature for receiving the support arm. The third receiving feature is a through hole adapted for variable positioning along the support arm. The stand member and support arm are cooperatively connected through the ball joint.
