ABSTRACT:
A medical instrument support mechanism, particularly suitable for ophthalmological instruments, including first and second support arms and a suitable base member in which the first arm is vertically pivotal with respect to the base member and the base member is pivotal with respect to another support member, such as a support pole. The second arm is also pivotally connected to the first arm. A locking mechanism is operatively connected to each of the pivot connections to allow an operator to selectively lock and unlock the pivot connections substantially simultaneously by operating a lever movable in a direction extending along the length of the first support arm. This lever is preferably disposed along a lower side of the first support arm and specifically operates screw locking mechanisms and respective clamp members.
