29. An adjustable extension arm for mounting an electronic device thereto, said extension arm comprising a forearm extension having a first end and a second end for attachment of an electronic device thereto, said first end having a through hole connected to said second end by a U-shaped member having a bottom wall and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls, said U-shaped member forming an elongated first channel in communication with said through hole, a cover releasably attachable to said forearm extension overlying said through hole and a portion of said U-shaped member for enclosing said elongated first channel, at least one opening in said forearm extension in either said bottom wall adjacent said second end or between said second end and a portion of said cover;
- a first endcap including a first end and a second end having a through hole extending between said first and second ends;
a tubular member received within said through hole within said first endcap having an interior in communication with said first channel within said forearm extension, said tubular member having a sidewall provided with a cutout, said forearm extension rotatably attached to said first endcap by said tubular member being received within said through hole within said first end of said forearm extension;
a second endcap having an end rotatably attachable to a support structure; and
elongated first and second channel members nested together to form a channel therebetween, said first and second channel members having first ends pivotably attached to said first endcap and second ends pivotably attached to said second endcap, one of said channel members having an elongated opening between said first and second ends providing communication between the exterior of said channel member and said channel formed therein, wherein said extension arm forms a cable pathway extending through said through hole within said tubular member and said first channel within said forearm extension. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
- a first endcap including a first end and a second end having a through hole extending between said first and second ends;
- 36. A tilter assembly for an electronic device, said assembly comprising a swivel bolt having an opening at one end thereof, a swivel lug having one end pivotably attached to said swivel bolt within said opening, and an adapter having an opening within which the other end of said swivel lug is secured.
