US 5,240,215 A · Universal computer support bracket

Abstract

A universal computer support bracket adapted for use in a vehicle, particularly in a train. The bracket includes a channel to be mounted on a vertical surface. Slidably mounted in the channel is one end of a folding table support bracket. Pivotally mounted to the other end of the folding table support bracket is a folding table which may be pivoted between a substantially horizontal support position and a substantially vertical storage position. Mounted on the folding table is a pivot joint assembly on which is mounted a computer support table. The computer support table may thus be tilted to facilitate use of the computer. The invention is thus designed specifically to provide a reliable, sturdy and steady computer support bracket for use in a variety of situations, while recognizing and addressing important space considerations.
