Claims18
A tablet mounting system comprising:
- a tablet support body having a first surface configured to receive and support a tablet;
- an interface for attaching the tablet support body to an apparatus that is adapted to position the tablet support body relative to a support surface;
- and
- at least a first edge retaining member and a second edge retaining member,
- the first edge retaining member extending from the tablet support body and being configured to retain a first edge of the supported tablet,
- the second edge retaining member extending from the tablet support body and being configured to retain a second edge of the supported tablet opposite the first edge, and
- at least one of the first edge retaining member and the second edge retaining member being movable relative to the tablet support body so as to releasably retain the supported tablet adjacent the tablet support body.

A tablet mounting system comprising:
- a tablet support body having an interface for coupling to a support apparatus, the tablet support body comprising a peripheral edge and a first surface configured to receive and support a tablet;
- and
- a clamping mechanism configured to releasably retain the supported tablet adjacent the tablet support body, the clamping mechanism comprising at least a first engagement arm and a second engagement arm extending from the tablet support body proximate the peripheral edge, the first and second engagement arms configured to engage opposing edges of the supported tablet, and at least one of the first and second engagement arms being movable relative to the tablet support body so as to releasably retain the supported tablet adjacent the tablet support body.
A tablet mounting system comprising:
- a tablet support body having a first surface configured to receive and support a tablet;
- an interface for attaching the tablet support body to an apparatus that is adapted to position the tablet support body;
- and
- a clamping mechanism configured to releasably retain the supported tablet adjacent the tablet support body, the clamping mechanism comprising
- first and second edge retaining members extending from the tablet support body generally along a first directional line in relation to the tablet support body, the first and the second edge retaining members being configured to retain, respectively, opposing first and second edges of the supported tablet, and
- third and fourth edge retaining members extending from the tablet support body generally along a second directional line substantially perpendicular to the first directional line, the third and the fourth edge retaining members being configured to retain, respectively, opposing third and fourth edges of the supported tablet,
- at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth edge retaining members being movable relative to the tablet support body so as to releasably retain the supported tablet adjacent the tablet support body.
