Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Utility patent application Ser. No. 11/008,502, filed on Dec. 9, 2004, and incorporated herein by reference. This application also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/011,036, filed on Jan. 14, 2008, and incorporated herein by reference. This invention relates to a computer support system attachable to a chair or desk and that allows the user seated in a chair to comfortably operate a standard computer keyboard/mouse pad or other electronic devices. The system is also removable from the chair or desk to provide support in a lap use environment. Traditionally, computer components are arranged on a desktop. The computer keyboard rests on the desk in front of the computer monitor. Alternatively, some computer desks include special keyboard locations, such as retractable surface. The retractable surfaces are mounted to the desktop\'s undersurface. Usually, this under-mounted support surface slides in and out on a set of guides/tracks/channels/slots. Another method of supporting a keyboard includes a support surface mounted with a single a single arm generally located in the center of the desk but sometimes offset from the center. These permanently attached under-mount systems are popular with the computer users. With the advent of wireless computer keyboards and mice, a need has developed for a mobile or portable support surface for these items. Although these wireless components/devices are portable, the traditional desk or slide-out under-mounted support surfaces are not. This leaves the user limited options on how and where to rest these components. Take for example the resting place options for a mobile laptop computer: Laptops are generally supported on a desktop or other type of permanent surface, in the user\'s hands, in the user\'s lap, or balanced across the user\'s knees. The posture required to use a laptop supported in these ways is often uncomfortable and unnatural. Furthermore, outside of the mini-mouse pad provided on laptops, no solid support surface is provided for the use of the traditional full-sized mouse, which is still preferred used along side a laptop computer. The present invention is provided to solve the problems discussed above and other problems, and to provide advantages and aspects not provided by prior desk systems. A full discussion of the features and advantages of the present invention is deferred to the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings. An object of the present invention is to provide a computer support attachable to an external body. The computer support comprises: a first use position wherein the computer support is attached to the external body; and a second use position wherein the computer support is separated from the external body and is adapted to fit on a user\'s lap to support an electronic device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer support attachable to an external body. The computer support comprises: a top support means comprising a first surface and a second surface, said first surface joined to said second surface; a first pivoting means for at least partial rotational movement of said top support about a first pivot point; an alignment means for moving at least a portion of the computer support along a horizontal plane; and a frame means for attaching said top support means to the external body. Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer support that provides a variable workspace for a user. The computer support comprises: first surface positioned along a first substantially horizontal plane; a second surface offset from and located on a separate horizontal plane than said first surface; and a pin joining said first surface and said second surface, said pin defining a pivot point upon which said first surface is pivotally mounted to said second surface for rotational movement about said pivot point along said first substantially horizontal plane. Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer support for selective attachment to an external body. The computer support comprises: a top support comprising a first surface and a second surface, said first surface located on a separate horizontal plane than said second surface, said first surface having a first guide therein; a first pin joining said first surface with said second surface and positioned within the first guide, said first pin defining a first pivot point upon which relative rotational movement between said first surface and said second surface bring said first surface and said second surface into selective substantially parallel alignment; a second guide extending along a portion of said top support, said pin also located within said second guide wherein traverse of said first pin within said second guide brings said first surface into selective substantially vertical alignment with said second surface; a second pin between said first surface and said second surface; and a third guide having a curvilinear shape, said second pin adapted to traverse along a length of said third guide wherein said first surface may be selectively rotated about said pivot point and traversed in a plurality of directions. Other embodiments, systems, methods, features, and advantages of the present invention will be, or will become, apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, features, and advantages be within the scope of the present invention, and can be protected by the accompanying claims. The invention may be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. In the drawings, like reference numbers designate corresponding parts throughout. Continue reading about Computer mouse and keyboard support with chair attachment and lap system...
