         5 . A system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the electric cable is a cable with at least a spiral portion, and the column further comprises a means for the return and storage of the electric cable when the head is installed on the column end, and for the release of the cable according to the spacing of the column with respect to the head when the latter is separated from the column. 
     
     
         6 . A system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the column further comprises an electric cable spool for the return and storage of the electrical cable when the head is installed on the column end, and for the release of the cable according to the spacing of the column with respect to the head when the latter is separated from the column. 
     
     
         7 . A system according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the electric cable is a spiral cable. 
     
     
         8 . A system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the head is formed of two parts, a lower part for the attachment to the column and an upper part ( 12 ) for the attachment to the object and its detector, the two parts being swiveling relative to each other, said head comprising a swiveling ball joint. 
     
     
         9 . A system according to  claim 8 , characterized in that a fitting means ( 14 ) for the head lower part is introduced into the first end of the column and locked in position by rotation around an axis coaxial to the column. 
     
     
         10 . A system according to  claim 8 , characterized in that the two parts of the head, which are swiveling relative to each other, may be immobilized relative to each other at a determined number of positions, the immobilization being obtained by matching holes of the part for attachment to the column with holes of the part for attachment to the object and introducing an stud into the matched holes. 
     
     
         11 . A system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the base comprises a peripheral crown ( 11 ) delimiting the through-hole ( 8 ) of said base and comprising a ring ( 10 ) extending heightwise, said ring edging the through-hole of said base and allowing the column to be immobilized at the desired height by the immobilization means ( 20 ) acting on said ring, said crown being intended to rest on a display support.
