The invention relates to a jointed support structure, in particular for the adjustable attachment of objects, such as medical instruments, to a support, such as a surgical operating table, comprising at least one clamping element having a movable clamping jaw; at least one elongate connecting element connected at one end to the clamping element and preferably made as a tube; an actuating block connected to the other end of the connecting element; at least one push rod extending at least substantially parallel to the connecting element and connecting the clamping jaw and the actuating block in a thrust transmitting manner; a movement generating device generating a movement extending at least substantially perpendicular to the push rod; and a transmission mechanism which guides the motion generated by the movement generating device while preferably deflecting it through 90° to the push rod, whereby the clamping jaw can be brought alternately into and out of clamping engagement. The transmission mechanism comprises a toggle lever mechanism having first and second toggle levers connected at a joint movable by the movement generating device to move the toggle levers and the push rod to effect clamping of the clamping jaw.
