PIVOT ARM STAND FOR DIGITAL MICROSCOPES
First Claim
1. A pivot arm stand for digital microscopes having a pivot arm pivotable about a rotation axis,wherein the movement of the pivot arm is blocked by a high torque magnetic brake arranged about a rotation axis (DA),wherein the high torque magnetic brake comprises a simultaneously pivoting part (MS) and a fixed part (ML),wherein the blocking is suspended for the duration of a touch of a button (TS) by releasing the high torque magnetic brake,wherein the button (TS) is arranged on the pivot arm (SA) in such a way that it can be pressed with at least one finger of the same hand which clasps an ergonomically shaped section (EB) of the pivot arm (SA), andwherein the ergonomically shaped section (EB) of the pivot arm (SA) is provided for grasping the pivot arm (SA) for setting a pivot angle (w).

Abstract
The invention relates to a pivot arm stand for digital microscopes having a pivot arm which is pivotable about a rotation axis.
According to the invention the pivotal movement may be blocked by a high torque magnetic brake arranged about a rotation axis (DA), which consists of a simultaneously pivoting part (MS) and a fixed part (ML), whereby the blocking may be suspended for the duration of a touch of a button (TS) by releasing the high torque magnetic brake, the button (TS) being arranged on the pivot arm (SA) in such a way that it can be conveniently pressed with at least one finger of the same hand which clasps an ergonomically shaped section (EB) of the pivot arm (SA), which is provided for grasping the pivot arm (SA) for setting a pivot angle (w).
