Also included is a locking member fixed to the support arm, and an elongate brake element wrapped around the locking member, and having one end coupled to the base and a second end connected with the platform at a point spaced from the opposite end of the arm such that rotation of the tray about the coupling at the second end of the support arm releases the brake element and permits changes in the elevation of the support with respect to the base, and the moment of the platform and any associated input device tenses the braking element against the locking member and locks the platfform in its selected position
