Abstract
A storage device for a video monitor includes a belt stretched around the top, sides and bottom of the monitor. The outfacing surface of the belt has a loose knap so that it may be engaged by a Velcro.RTM. hook type material. Two side plates are mounted by this method of fastening to the belt along the sides of the monitor. The side plates provide outfacing pockets for storing pencils, markers and even a few small floppy disks. A front plate stretches across the front of the monitor cabinet, either above or below the viewing screen and also attaches to the belt along the sides of the monitor. The front plate also includes at least one pocket for conveniently holding further objects useful to a person using the monitor.
Claims4
A storage device for a video monitor, the device comprising:
- a monitor belt providing, on opposing sides thereof, a first and a second monitor belt surfaces, the first of the monitor belt surfaces providing a generally loose knap, the knap covering the entire first surface of the monitor belt, the second of the surfaces providing, at one end of the monitor belt, a monitor belt surface attachment means adapted for engaging the knap of the first of the monitor belt surfaces, the second of the monitor belt surfaces laying in contact with the top, left side, right side and bottom outside surfaces of a video monitor, the monitor belt pulled tightly around the monitor and held thereon by engaging the monitor belt surface attachment means with the knap of the first of the monitor belt surfaces;
- a pair of side plates, each of the side plates providing side plate pocket means on an outfacing surface of the side plate, and a side plate surface attachment means on an in-facing surface of the side plate, each one of the side plate surface attachment means engaged with the knap of the monitor belt to hold the side plate generally adjacent to one of the side surfaces of the monitor.
A combination video monitor and storage device therefore, the combination comprising:
- a video monitor having a top, left side, right side and front outside surfaces;
- a monitor belt providing, on opposing sides thereof, a first and a second monitor belt surfaces, the first of the monitor belt surfaces providing a generally loose knap, the knap covering the entire first surface of the monitor belt, the second of the surfaces providing, at one end of the monitor belt, a monitor belt surface attachment means adapted for engaging the knap of the first of the monitor belt surfaces, the second of the monitor belt surfaces laying in contact with the top, left side, right side and bottom outside surfaces of a video monitor, the monitor belt pulled tightly around the monitor and held thereon by engaging the monitor belt surface attachment means with the knap of the first of the monitor belt surfaces;
- a pair of side plates, each of the side plates providing side plate pocket means on an outfacing surface of the side plate, and a side plate surface attachment means on an in-facing surface of the side plate, each one of the side plate surface attachment means engaged with the knap of the monitor belt to hold the side plate generally adjacent to one of the side surfaces of the monitor.
