Described is 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 monitor stand including a plate with one or more stacks of risers extending downwardly from the plate's bottom surface. A user may adjust the height of the plate relative to a support surface by adding or subtracting risers to each of the one or more stacks. At least one of the risers includes a charging station. The location or orientation of the charging station relative to the plate may be selectively changed by switching the location or orientation of the riser having the charging station. The plate may be rectangular or triangular in shape. One of more computing devices may be placed on the plate's upper surface and be connected to the charging station by cables. The stand may be connected to a remote power source to provide power to the charging station and thereby to charge the connected devices.

The present invention relates to a portable reading stand that not only serves as a reading stand for holding books, but also holds objects such as a portable electronic device such as a laptop and tablet, and can freely adjust the height and angle according to eye level of correct posture.

A supporting rack may include a supporting surface, a base, a side supporting member, a center supporting member and a position adjusting unit. In one embodiment, the side supporting member has two side supporting arms, and an upper end of each side supporting arm is pivotally connected with an upper locking unit on one side of the supporting surface and a lower end thereof is pivotally connected to a corresponding side of the base. More specifically, the lower end of each side supporting arm is also connected to a lower locking unit on the base, which is configured to provide not only a stronger support for the supporting surface, but also lock the lower end of the side supporting arms. Similarly, each side supporting arm can be locked through the upper locking unit at a predetermined position according to the user's preference.

A composite structure and article of manufacture for a composite structure arranged with a rotatable top are disclosed.

In various embodiments, the composite structure is disclosed with improved angles of freedom and ability to be adjusted in multiple positions along six (6) axes, while all the six (6) axes are independent of each other, this provision indeed helps the user to have the composite structure adjusted in every angle that is comfortable for the user.

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 bracket for a notebook or a tablet computer, includes a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth support rods, a first, second stopper clips, a first, second synchronization rods. A front end of the first support rod is rotatably connected to the third support rod. A front end of the second support rod is rotatably connected to the fourth support rod. The third support rod is rotatably connected to the fifth support rod. The fourth support rod is rotatably connected to the sixth support rod. One end of the fifth support rod is rotatably connected to a first groove, and the other end is rotatably connected to a guide rail. One end of the sixth support rod is rotatably connected to a second groove, and the other end is rotatably connected to another guide rail. The bracket is convenient for retracting and placing, provides good stability and convenient for carrying.

Embodiments include an apparatus for positioning items such as an electronic display, a keyboard, and/or a work surface. The apparatus can be attached proximate an edge of a generally planar support member to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a display mount coupled to a support column and configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The support column may be movable with respect to support member between a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

A collapsible platform system is provided for converting an underlying support surface to a standing desk. The collapsible platform system converts the underlying support surface to a standing desk with a large work surface suitable for performing a variety of tasks, including handwriting-type and/or sketching-type tasks. A collapsible platform of the system includes a work panel with an upper surface that defines a work surface. The work surface may support a deskwork article being used at the standing desk. A support arrangement can collapse with respect to the work panel to change the collapsible platform from an assembled state an unassembled or collapsed state. The support arrangement has multiple panels, at least one of which is segmented. A connection joint is defined between the segments of the segmented panel(s) for facilitating assembling and disassembling of the collapsible platform while changing the collapsible platform between the assembled and collapsed states.
