Abstract
Abstract This carrying frame includes upper and lower pivotally interconnected U-shaped members. The lower member is adapted to mount an article thereon and the upper member is adapted to be connected by a swivel member to an adjustable bracket or similar support. The axis of rotation of the pivotal connection between the upper and lower members is so chosen as to pass through or near the center of gravity of the carried article so that a minimum of effort is required to relocate the carried object and so that the article will maintain its relocated position.
