Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems associated with an auxiliary support for a display device. More particularly, embodiments are related to a hinged auxiliary support that is configured to be positioned between the display device and a display stand.
Claims16
An auxiliary support for a display device comprising:
- a first support including a first proximal end, a first arm, and a first projection, the first arm having a linear surface extending from the first proximal end to the first projection, the first projection being a projection extending away from a first inner surface of the first arm;
- an attachment groove positioned on an outer surface of the first arm, the attachment groove being configured to receive an arm of a stand;
- a second support having a second proximal end, a second arm, and a second projection, the second arm having a curved surface extending from the second proximal end to the second projection, the second projection being a projection extending away from a second inner surface of the second arm, the second projection including a slot extending between a first end of the slot and a second end of the slot;
- a hinge configured to couple the first proximal end and the second proximal end;
- a coupling mechanism configured to selectively couple the first projection and the second projection, the coupling mechanism including a shaft that is configured to be coupled to the first projection at a first location and be positioned at various locations within the slot.

A method using an auxiliary support for a display device comprising:
- coupling, via a hinge, a first proximal end associated with a first support with a second proximal end associated with a second support, the hinge defining an axis of rotation between the first support and the second support, the first support including the first proximal end, a first arm, and a first projection, the first arm having a linear surface extending from the first proximal end to the first projection, the first projection being a projection extending away from a first inner surface of the first arm, the second support having the second proximal end, a second arm, and a second projection, the second arm having a curved surface extending from the second proximal end to the second projection, the second projection being a projection extending away from a second inner surface of the second arm, the second projection including a slot extending between a first end of the slot and a second end of the slot;
- inserting a stand within an attachment groove, the attachment groove being positioned on an outer surface of the first arm;
- coupling a first end of a shaft with the first arm at a fixed location;
- inserting the shaft through the slot to selectively coupling the first projection and the second projection;
- moving the slot relative to the shaft to adjust an angular offset between the first arm and the second arm.
