ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for use with a cabled video camera that transmits magnified images of an object or printed text on a work surface via a cable to a video monitor. The apparatus includes an elongated leg and an elongated arm connected at an angle to the leg for supporting the cable over the work surface, such as a desktop. Means, such as a clamp assembly, is provided for mounting the leg to the work surface in a vertically extending position for rotation about the leg's longitudinal axis to enable pivotal movement of the arm over the work surface. Means, preferably in the form of a pair of rotatable pulleys, is mounted to the arm for supporting the cable above the work surface and enabling the cable to move along the arm. In this manner, the cabled video camera may be positioned to scan objects or printed text on the work surface without cluttering the work surface with the cable.
