Abstract:
1. An articulated suspension device, in particular for monitor support systems, comprising a suspension part having an end with a part-spherical external profile, a connecting part suspended on the suspension part, a sliding part disposed between the suspension part and the connecting part and enabling a sliding rotational and tilting movement of the connecting part relative to the suspension part, wherein the sliding part is an annular sliding band, which has a constant thickness and an internal profile of which corresponds to the spherical external profile of the end of the suspension part, and that the connecting part has an end with a part-spherical internal profile, which corresponds to a spherical external profile of the annular sliding band, wherein for fastening a support system to the connecting part a plurality of bores are provided below the spherical end thereof; and wherein there is provided an enclosure for covering a slot aperture produced by the articulated suspension between the suspension part and the connecting part, said enclosure covering the slot aperture in a close-fitting manner so as to comprehend all joint-position-dependent slot aperture widths.
