Abstract

An extension arm (100) suitable for mounting a flat-screen electronic peripheral device, such as a computer monitor or television, comprises a forearm extension (110) that has at one end a first coupling for attachment to a tilter, a platform or other means for supporting a flat-screen device and at the other end a second coupling with a slot formed therein. The extension arm (100) comprises a pair of endcaps (102, 108), upper channel (104) and a lower channel (106). The upper and lower channel and the endcaps form an adjustable parallelogram which is retained by a gas spring (122). The gas spring is attached at a first end to a ball stud mounted in the upper channel (104) and adjustably mounted at a second end to the first endcap (102).
