Abstract
A tablet support is adapted to be mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle. The tablet support has a base; straps adapted to secure the base to the vehicle; and an articulated arm assembly. The articulated arm assembly consists of a first arm and a second arm articulated relative to one another, with the first arm having a first face and a second face, and the second arm having a tablet interface assembly integrated or mounted thereto. The articulated arm assembly can be mounted to the base either with its first face or its second face against the base, thereby allowing to position the tablet interface assembly lower or higher than the base.
Claims20
A tablet support to be mounted on a surface of a vehicle, comprising:
- a base;
- straps adapted to secure the base to the vehicle;
- and
- an articulated arm assembly comprising a first arm, and a second arm articulated relative to one another, with the first arm comprising a first face and a second face, and the second arm comprising a tablet interface assembly;
- wherein the articulated arm assembly is adapted to be mounted to the base either with its first face or its second face against the base,
- wherein, by securing the first face or the second face of the first arm to the base, the tablet interface assembly can be positioned in a first position or in a second position while facing away to the base, and
- wherein the articulated arm assembly comprises a pair of contact walls interfacing rotatably with one another, and means to releasably exert pressure that wedges the contact walls against one another, thereby adapted to set the contact walls in a plurality of angular positions relative to one another.
A tablet support to be mounted on a surface of a vehicle, comprising:
- a base;
- straps adapted to secure the base to the vehicle;
- and
- an arm assembly comprising a first arm and a second arm that are adapted to be in a first position in which the first arm and the second arm have a first angle greater than 45 degrees in-between, with the first arm comprising a first face and a second face, and the second arm comprising a tablet interface assembly;
- wherein the arm assembly is adapted to be mounted to the base either with its first face or its second face against the base, thereby adjusting position of the tablet interface assembly relative to the base, and
- wherein the tablet interface assembly comprises an interface component mounted to the second arm and a tablet holding component adapted to hold a tablet, the tablet interface assembly comprising a protrusion and a recess that are adapted to be combined to releasably mount the tablet holding component to the interface component.
