Abstract
A combination stand assembly is provided. The assembly includes a dual-use stand adapted to provide a floor stand and/or a bed top stand. The combination stand includes a floor base configured with a telescoping upright support structure and a top tray. The top tray may be used to support various items such as, but not limited to, a laptop computer. The top tray is removable from the upright support structure and includes extendable legs so that the tray, when separated from the upright support, may be used as a self-contained secondary stand (e.g., for use as a bed top stand). In this way, the combination stand may be configured for use as a floor stand and/or for use as a bed top stand. The angle of the tray is adjustable in either configuration for ergonomic positioning.
Claims20
A stand assembly comprising:
- a base adapted to rest on a surface;
- an elongate support including a proximal end coupled to the base and a distal end extending upward away from the base;
- a tray support coupled to the distal end of the elongate support;
- a tray releasably coupled to the tray support, the tray including a tray top side and a tray underside;
- a first tray leg rotatably coupled to the tray underside towards a left side of the tray and adapted to rotate from a first position to a second position, the first position including the first tray leg substantially overlapping the tray underside and the second position including the first tray leg extending downward away from the tray underside;
- a second tray leg rotatably coupled to the tray underside towards a right side of the tray and adapted to rotate from a third position to a fourth position, the third position including the second tray leg substantially overlapping the tray underside and the fourth position including the second tray leg extending downward away from the tray underside;
- a first locking mechanism configured with the tray and adapted to lock the tray at a first angle of rotation with respect to the tray support when the tray is releasably coupled to the tray support;
- and
- a second locking mechanism configured with the tray and adapted to lock the tray at a second angle of rotation with respect to the first tray leg and/or with respect to the second tray leg when the tray is released from the tray support and the first leg is in the second position and/or the second tray leg is in the fourth position.
