Abstract:
1. A device suitable for supporting a component, the device comprising: a first pair of pivotally connected arms having a first end configured to be pivotally connected with a wall and a second end configured to be pivotally connected with the component; a second pair of pivotally connected arms having a first end configured to be pivotally connected with the wall and a second end configured to be pivotally connected with the component, the first pair of pivotally connected arms and the second pair of pivotally connected arms are configured to position the component away from the wall along an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the wall and are configured to pivot the component at an angle to the axis; a first stop associated with the second end of the first pair of pivotally connected arms and limiting the pivotal movement of the component in a first direction that is at the angle to the axis without limiting the pivotal movement of the component in a second direction that is opposite the first direction; a second stop associated with the second end of the second pair of pivotally connected arms and limiting the pivotal movement of the component in the second direction without limiting the pivotal movement of the component in the first direction, the first pair of pivotally connected arms and the second pair of pivotally connected arms are shortening the distance between the first stop and the second stop as the component is positioned away from the wall along the axis.
