A holder for a tablet, comprising a plate having a flat, planar front side for placing a tablet thereon, and a backside. The plate is generally rectangular in shape and having four corners with rotatable retention members disposed at three of the four corners. Each of the retention members are seated in a notch of the plate and all the retention members are rotatable to a position to form a continuous, flat surface along the plate and are rotatable to positions to retain a tablet on the holder.

The disclosure relates to an accessory support device, comprising a support structure that defines a flat base plane. And comprising an inclined portion that is supported on the support structure that extends in an inclined plane upward relative to the base plane from a front of the accessory support device to a rear of the accessory support device. The accessory support device further comprises an upright portion that is supported on the support structure or on the inclined portion that extends in a mainly upright plane relative to the base plane from the rear of the accessory support device, so as to form a privacy panel that shields the user from being seen from the rear of the accessory support device. The upright portion and the inclined portion are angularly adjustably connected via an angle compensation device to compensate the upright portion for angular adjustment of the inclined portion.

An apparatus can be configured to position an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including, for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

An adjustable reading stand includes a base including two bottom plates foldable relative to each other, a resisting edge located on one side of the bottom plates and opposite limit grooves formed on the bottom plates, an butting member set on the bottom plates and providing an accommodating space near the resisting edge, and a positioning member having one side thereof set at the side of the accommodating space far from the resisting edge and an opposite side thereof provided with a retaining side that slides along the surface of the two bottom plates and embedded in any two opposite limit grooves. Thus, the inclination angle of the abutting member on the base can be adjusted, and the two bottom plates, the abutting member and the positioning member can be folded, so as to reduce the volume of the adjustable reading stand for convenient carrying.

A convertible sit-to-stand desk has a desktop that is manually movable into and between a lowered position and a raised position, a base that is configured to support the desktop with respect to a supporting surface, and a supporting frame that supports the desktop with respect to the base. The supporting frame facilitates movement of the desktop into and between the lowered and raised positions. The supporting frame comprises first and second sub-frame assemblies disposed on opposite sides of the desktop, respectively.

Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for positioning an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

A stand for a computer monitor includes two auxiliary devices at two sides respectively. One auxiliary device is configured to extend out from one side of the stand and unfold to serve as a cup holder. The other auxiliary device is configured to extend out from the other side of the stand and unfold to serve as a holder for a cellular phone and/or a tablet computer.

The invention is directed to stands and methods for making the same. The stand is provided to hold an item such as an electronic device and/or a document. The stand may include (1) a base plate provided to support the stand on a support surface and/or by a user holding the base plate; (2) a plurality of hinge assemblies connected to the base plate; and (3) a platform assembly pivotally connected to the hinge assemblies, such that the angular disposition of the platform assembly is adjustable relative to the base plate.

A stand assembly for supporting an object in a cantilevered manner above a surface is disclosed herein. The stand assembly includes a post member; a tray member coupled to the post member, the tray member configured to be rotatable between an active position for supporting the object and a collapsed position; an angular setting mechanism configured to set a user-desired angular position of the tray member relative to the post member; and a latching mechanism configured to maintain the tray member in the active position when engaged with the tray member by preventing a rotation of the tray member. The user-desired angular position setting of the tray member is maintained when the tray member is rotated from the active position to the collapsed position so that the tray member generally returns to the user-desired angular position when the tray member is rotated from the collapsed position to the active position.

Support stands are described. An example embodiment of a support stand is moveable between a first, assembled configuration, a second, disassembled configuration, and a third, folded configuration. The support stand has a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall. The first wall has a first wall first height. Each of the second wall and third wall is moveably attached to the first wall. Each of the second wall and the third wall has a first height that is less than the first wall first height and a second height that is greater than the first wall first height. The third wall is releasably attachable to the second wall. The first wall, the second wall, and the third wall cooperatively define a platform for supporting the position of an element that is placed on the support stand.
