The device further comprises at least one male rail configured to slide into and out of the at least one female rail. The at least one male rail has a second hinge. The device further comprises a first accessory display coupled to the second hinge. The device further comprises a first lip configured to engage a first side of a display device and a second lip configured to engage a second side of the display device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An accessory display device comprising: a back support having at least one female rail and a first hinge; at least one male rail configured to slide into and out of the at least one female rail, the at least one male rail having a second hinge; a first accessory display coupled to the second hinge; and a first lip configured to engage a first side of a display device and a second lip configured to engage a second side of the display device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The accessory display device of claim 1, further comprising a tensioning member coupled to the back support and the at least one male rail. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The accessory display device of claim 2, wherein the first lip being configured to engage the first side of the display device and the second lip being configured to engage the second side of the display device comprises the first lip being configured to engage the first side of the display device and the second lip being configured to engage the second side of the display device under force generated by the tensioning member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The accessory display device of claim 2, wherein the first lip is configured to engage the first side of the display device and the second lip is configured to engage the second side of the display device via tension from the tensioning member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The accessory display device of claim 1, further comprising a second accessory display coupled to the first hinge. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The accessory display device of claim 5, wherein the first accessory display and the second accessory display are configured to be movable from a stowed position to a use position. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The accessory display device of claim 6, wherein the first accessory display and the second accessory display being configured to be movable from the stowed position to the use position comprises the first accessory display being configured to rotate about the second hinge and the second accessory display being configured to rotate about the first hinge. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The accessory display device of claim 6, wherein the stowed position comprises a first of the first and second accessory displays being flush with the back support and a second of the first and second accessory displays being flush with the first of the first and second accessory displays. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The accessory display device of claim 1, wherein the first lip is coupled to the back support and the second lip is coupled to the male rail. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The accessory display device of claim 1, further comprising a third lip configured to engage a third side of the display device, wherein the third lip is coupled to the back support. ### Claim 11 An accessory display device comprising: a back support; a first hinge coupled to the back support; a first accessory display coupled to the first hinge; a first rail and a second rail configured to be slidable relative to one another; a first lip configured to engage with a first substantially vertical edge of a display device; a second lip configured to engage with a second substantially vertical edge of the display device; and a tensioning member configured to maintain engagement between the first lip and the first substantially vertical edge and between the second lip and the second substantially vertical edge. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The accessory display device of claim 11, wherein the tensioning member being configured to maintain engagement between the first lip and the first substantially vertical edge and between the second lip and the second substantially vertical edge comprises the tensioning member being configured to transmit force to the first lip and the second lip via the back support and at least one of the first rail and the second rail. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The accessory display device of claim 11, wherein the first accessory display is rotatable about the first hinge between a first position that is flush with the back support and a second position that is 180 degrees from the first position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The accessory display device of claim 13, wherein the first accessory display is further rotatable about the first hinge to a third position that is 270 degrees from the first position. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The accessory display device of claim 11, wherein the first rail is a male rail and the second rail is a female rail and wherein the first rail is configured to slide into and out of the second rail. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The accessory display device of claim 11, further comprising: a second hinge coupled to the second rail; and a second accessory display coupled to the second hinge. ### Claim 17 An accessory display device comprising: a back support; a first hinge coupled to a first accessory display; a second hinge coupled to a second accessory display; at least one male rail and at least one female rail; a first lip configured to engage with a first substantially vertical edge of a display device; a second lip configured to engage with a second substantially vertical edge of the display device; a third lip configured to engage with a substantially horizontal edge of the display device; and a tensioning member configured to maintain engagement between the first lip and the first substantially vertical edge and between the second lip and the second substantially vertical edge. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The accessory display device of claim 17, wherein the tensioning member is configured to transmit force to the first lip and the second lip via the back support and the at least one male rail. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The accessory display device of claim 17, wherein the tensioning member is configured to transmit force to the first lip and the second lip via the at least one male rail and the at least one female rail. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The accessory display device of claim 17, wherein the first accessory display is rotatable about the first hinge between a first position that is flush with the back support and a second position that is at least 180 degrees from the first position and wherein the second accessory display is rotatable about the second hinge between a third position that is flush with the first hinge in the first position and a fourth position that is at least 180 from the third position.
