Abstract
A support (1) for bearing at least one piece of equipment (2,3,4), in particular video display units and other medical equipment. The support includes a support arm (5), to which the equipment (2,3,4) can be at least indirectly fixed and a fixing device (6), which engages in a connecting section (7) of the support arm (5) for suspending the support (1). The point of engagement (12) can be changed, to displace the center of gravity (16) of the support arm (5) and its load for a predetermined angle of the support arm (5), so that it lies at least approximately below the suspension point, at which the support (1) is suspended by the fixing device (6).
