  • Patent number: 9104373
    Abstract: A computer tablet storage system. The system may have one or many main docks and one or many tablet holders. A computer tablet is retained within each tablet holder, and the tablet holder is insertable into and removable from an associated main dock. While inside the main dock, the computer tablet is protected against damage and unauthorized use. The main dock includes a door aperture and a tablet tray assembly movable toward and away from the bay door aperture and within the dock housing. The tablet holder (with tablet therein) is releasably engageable with the tray assembly. In the system, the tablet tray assembly is movable between a forward position in which a tablet is extended through the bay door for use, and a tray back position in which the tablet is retracted completely within the dock housing interior. A master control may regulate operation of the system.

  • Patent number: 6601931
    Abstract: An assembly is provided or supporting a flat monitor in adjacent but underlying relationship to a preferably window pane equipped, preferably rectangularly-configured aperture provided in a desk-type working platform. An aperture frame extends about perimeter portions of the aperture. A flat monitor support platform is located beneath but adjacent to the aperture. Joining components extend between and interconnect portions of the aperture frame with portions of the flat monitor support platform. A flat monitor is supportable by the platform with the platform generally suspended from the aperture frame with the aperture frame so positioned in the aperture. The flat monitor viewing screen with the flat monitor so supported is viewable through the aperture. The inclination of the flat monitor viewing screen is adjustable if desired. Various aperture frame structures, flat monitor support platforms, and joining components can be utilized.
