  • Publication number: 20140048662
    Abstract: A device secured to an elevated location and in turn supporting an item such as a computer tablet. A hinged and foldable body has first and second pivotal sections each depicting a ā€œUā€ shaped cross sectional profile and convertible between a collapsed/storage configuration and an extended/use configuration in which the sections establish a continuous and three sided support surface. A pair of suspending hooks extend upwardly from spaced apart locations along the body for engaging a vertical extending (seatback tray) support edge. Depth adjustable abutment portions located beneath the hooks establish proper angular orientation in use. Laterally adjustable and vertically extending brackets support vertical edges of the item placed upon the support surface.
