ABSTRACT:
An articulated holding arm 2 comprises a first arm 3 and a second arm 5. The first arm 3 is essentially cylindrical as a whole, and is provided with at an intermediate area but closer to a proximal end 6 of the arm 3 a first spherical element 7 in a freely rotatable manner. The first arm 3 is further provided with at a distal end 4 thereof to which the proximal end 6 of the arm 3 is mounted a second spherical element 8 in a freely rotatable manner. Provided between the first and second spherical elements 7,8 is a locking spindle 9 which is moveable in a longitudinal direction of the arm 3 with a very short interval d. Provided at a proximal end 6 of the first arm 3 is a piston 11 which constantly pressurizes via spring means 12 the first spherical element 7 in a direction of a tip of the piston 11 and can move the first spherical element 7 via hydraulic means 14 or pneumatic means toward the proximal end 6 of the first arm 3 against the spring means 12. The second arm 5 is provided with at a distal end 19 thereof a supporting element 20 for supporting an arm A of a person seated D.
