  • Patent number: 8488306
    Abstract: A secondary computing device display system includes a removable attachment mechanism operable to removably attach a secondary computing device display to a primary computing device display. The removable attachment mechanism comprises a first attachment member, operable to slideably attach to the secondary computing device display, and a second attachment member, comprising a clamping trench and a clamp locking lever. The second attachment member is operable to removably clamp the primary computing device display by inserting a clamping ridge of the primary computing device display in the clamping trench and engaging a notched surface of the clamping ridge with the clamp locking lever. The first and second attachment member are frictionally rotatable with respect to each other along a first axis and a second axis.

  • Publication number: 20110240822
    Abstract: A sliding support assembly includes a sliding rail assembly and an attachment. The sliding rail assembly includes a fixed member, a sliding arm, and a hinge. The hinge has a positioning extension and a second portion, wherein the second portion is pivotally engaged to the positioning extension. The positioning extension is slidably engaged to the fixed member. The sliding rail assembly has a non-pivoted state and a pivoted state, wherein in the non-pivoted state the second portion is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed member, and in the pivoted state the second portion defines an angle with the fixed member. The attachment is engaged to at least a portion of the second portion and in the pivoted state is positioned a desired distance beyond the exterior edge of the partition.

  • Patent number: 7889481
    Abstract: A secondary computing device display system includes a removable attachment mechanism operable to removably attach a secondary computing device display to a primary computing device display. The removable attachment mechanism comprises a first attachment member, operable to lockably attach to the secondary computing device display, and a second attachment member, comprising a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion. The first and second clamping portions are operable to removably clamp the primary computing device display within a gap defined between the first and second clamping portions. The first and second attachment member are frictionally rotatable with respect to each other along a first axis and a second axis. A surface of the primary computing device display is adapted to engage the second attachment member and utilize friction to reduce the amount of pressure sufficient to removably clamp.

  • Patent number: 6679392
    Abstract: A hanger assembly comprises a housing, an outer rail, an inner rail and a slide member. The housing defines a chamber with at least one longitudinal opening. Within the chamber, the outer rail is fixedly mounted in a substantially parallel position relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The inner rail is slidingly engaged to the outer rail. The slide member is slidingly engaged to the inner rail. At least a portion of the slide member extends from the chamber through the at least one opening in the housing. The slide member is constructed and arranged to be moveable relative to the inner rail and the inner rail is constructed and arranged to be moveable relative to the outer rail, such that when the slide member is moved relative to the inner rail, the inner rail is simultaneously moved relative to the outer rail.

  • Patent number: 6491173
    Abstract: A system for organizing a closet which comprises one or more pairs of slide rail assemblies and an appropriate number of baskets for mounting therebetween. Each rail assembly having an elongate mounting rail having at least one surface constructed and arranged to engage a partition, and an elongate slide rail, the elongate slide rail having at least one inner surface constructed and arranged to slidingly engage the elongate mounting rail. The elongate slide rail has an outer surface with a plurality of basket engaging hooks extending therefrom. The baskets have a double rim construction with one rim constructed and arranged to allows the baskets to be removingly secured to the hooks. A second rim being compatible with a U-channel slide. The basket may also be equipped with a pair of cross members which could be used to allows the basket to be received onto a roller slide.
