Patent number: 11910916Abstract: A support fixture is disclosed that may be removably clamped to a bed rail (or any other support member) and includes a lower support arm attached to the removable clamp through a rotatable connector. An upper support arm is attached to a distal termination of the lower support arm via a pivot connector. The combination of the lower and upper arms is referred to at times as an articulated arm assembly. A device support member is coupled to the upper support arm via a multi-stage gimbal system, perhaps in combination with a quick-release connection (allowing for the device support component to be used as a stand-alone fixture). The device support member is particularly configured to support a computing device, a communication device, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: 1514 Tech, LLC.Inventors: Robert J.
