Abstract: A computer support for use in a vehicle interior includes a base having a pivotally secured riser bracket coupled thereto. The base is attached to a convenient vehicle surface such as the transmission hump or the like. A pair of telescoping risers are supported by the riser bracket and provide vertical movement of an arm carrier mechanism. The arm carrier in turn supports a pair of pivotally coupled arms which in turn support a platform bracket. A computer platform suitable for receiving and supporting a portable computer is received upon the platform bracket and includes a lock mechanism for securing the computer against unauthorized removal. Adjustments are provided for the vertical heights and horizontal position as well as angular tilt and horizontal angular position of the computer platform. Each adjustment of each position and angle includes apparatus for securing and maintaining a selected position.

Abstract: A merchandise display system has a carrier supported by an array of adjustably interconnecting arms from a mounting base. The mounting base is connectable to a mounting structure in a variety of different orientations so that the carrier can be displayed as desired. The mounting base has a clamp structure which is engageable with a horizontal counter edge, or with a vertical post or partition edge. Where no such edge is available the clamping structure can be detached allowing the mounting base to be mounted directly on a vertical wall surface, e.g. by wood screws.

Abstract: A stowable support apparatus is disclosed and includes a base with a support arm pivotally coupled to the base. The support arm is pivotal between a stowed position and a display position, and it has a display unit coupled thereto distal the base. The apparatus further includes a lock mechanism that is configured to retain selectively the support arm in the stowed or the display position, and the lock mechanism is housed substantially, or completely, within the support arm. In some embodiments of the invention, the apparatus includes a sensor for detecting and indicating when the support arm is in its stowed position. In other embodiments, the apparatus further includes a mounting bracket mounted on the support arm distal the base. The display unit is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket enables pivotal and rotational movement of the display unit with respect to the support arm.
