Patent number: 8056878Abstract: A document holder has compact construction for in-line placement and viewing between a keyboard and display monitor. The holder can be set-up in a minimum profile configuration to accommodate small source documents, and can be quickly expanded to accommodate relatively large source documents. Easel size conversion is provided by a compound easel that is mounted for pivotal movement on a base platform. The easel viewing angle can be tilted to suit operator viewing preferences. The document support position can be adjusted vertically up and down to provide a reading level that satisfies operator needs and preferences. The compound easel includes a “drop-down” reading rack that can be extended below the front edge of a workstation support surface in the over-hang zone adjacent the edge of the work surface and above the keyboard to allow in-line placement and use of the document holder in workstations where the available work surface area is not large enough to support a conventional document holder.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Vu Ryte, Inc.Inventor: Thomas B. Ramey, III

Patent number: 7100883Abstract: A document holder, adapted for use at a computer workstation or word processor, includes an easel supported by spaced apart support arms. The easel and the support arms are connected to each other at respective pivot connections to provide for angular adjustment of the easel with respect to the arms. The easel includes a first member connected to the support arms and a second member which is movable relative to the first member in a downward direction or a direction toward an operator of the document holder. The first and second easel members include respective retainer and support rail parts provided with detents for selectively locking the second easel member in a selected working position with respect to the first easel member. A third easel member is supported on the first easel member for extension in a direction opposite that of the second easel member.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Vu Ryte, Inc.Inventors: Thomas B.

Patent number: 5685441Abstract: A video display unit such as a computer monitor or similar device is supported at a selected ergonomically correct height by a pedestal unit having one or more vertically stacked pedestal members, each defined by a generally horizontal plate portion and a depending wall. A peripheral ledge is interposed between the plate portion and the depending wall and the lower distal edge of the depending wall is spaced from an internal set of support gussets for supporting the pedestal members vertically stacked in nested relationship one on the other. Selected ones of the pedestal members have an opening in the side or depending wall portion providing a pocket for storing files, computer disks and other materials at the video display unit site. Opposed parallel inner walls extend from the opening to an opposite side wall to provide a smooth walled pocket for receiving the articles stored therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1995Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Vu Ryte, Inc.Inventor: Clifford T.

Patent number: 5651524Abstract: A document holder for use in supporting documents in a ergonomically correct position with respect to a video display screen and a keyboard of a computer workstation, word processor and the like. The document holder includes a generally upright transparent easel supported on a bracket for vertical adjustment with respect to the bracket. The easel support bracket is mounted on a support rail and is laterally slidable from side-to-side for positioning the easel in a selected horizontal position along a line substantially parallel to the plane of the video display screen. The easel support bracket rail member is mounted on spaced apart pivot brackets for pivoting the easel about an axis parallel to the lateral slide axis. The support brackets are mounted on trunnions disposed on opposed support arms which, in turn, are mounted on a pedestal member for sliding movement to selected working positions of the easel toward and away from the display screen and along an axis generally normal to the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1996Date of Patent: July 29, 1997Assignee: Vu Ryte, Inc.Inventor: Clifford T.
