  • Patent number: 5038688
    Abstract: A clamping device adapted to be positioned between the legs in the area above the knees is provided to support a small table to hold the control pack for the nintendo game or for playing any of the other television games or for any other purpose such as writing, reading, eating, etc., is provided to answer the often asked question, "If only I had another hand?" The device is provided with arcuately shaped concave holding areas to fit the inside of the operators legs of a person above the knees. The concave end supports are yieldingly connected to opposite ends of the small table in such a manner that a degree of lateral movement is provided between the supports and the table. With this small increment of spring action movement between the concave supports and the table there is little danger of the concave supports losing contact with the legs. It is thus apparent that by maintaining slight inward pressure between the legs and the concave supports the device will remain securely in place.
