摘要： A system for providing support and position control of a monitor. In one embodiment, a method of supporting a monitor includes converting an ascending energy storage member force curve into a substantially constant supporting force against the monitor. In one aspect, a method, of supporting a monitor includes providing an energy storage member (14) and a cam (320) which are cooperatively positioned so as to move relative to each other along the path of motion. As the energy storage member and thereby changes a force applied by the energy storage member on the cam on the cam, and wherein the cam converts the force applied by the energy storage member into a supporting force on the monitor.
