Abstract
An improved adjustable monitor support assembly is provided that utilizes a plurality of interchangeable side support assemblies and monitor supporting shelf assemblies. Each such shelf assembly is engageable with each pair or side support assemblies. Thus, a particular pair of side support assemblies can be used with either a monitor supporting shelf subassembly structure for a conventional monitor or a monitor supporting shelf subassembly structure for a flat LCD type monitor.
Claims3
A shelf subassembly for supporting a flat monitor in an adjustable monitor support, said shelf assembly comprising in combination:
- (a) a generally rectangular, shelf member having an upper face and an opposed lower face, front and rear opposed edge regions, opposed lateral side edge regions, and an upstanding first flange extending along said front edge region;
- (b) a pair of generally U-configured flattened frame members, each one of said frame members being:
- (1) substantially vertically oriented, relative to said shelf member,
- (2) disposed in spaced, parallel relationship relative to the other frame member, and
- (3) adjacent to and connected with a different respective one of said lateral side edge regions, and including a connection device;
- and each of said frame members having respective opposite end portions whereby each opposite end portion is associated with a different corresponding corner region of the respective said lateral side edge region, so that each one of said U-configured frame members extends generally downwardly from said respective so connected lateral side edge region;
- (c) at least two longitudinally outwardly extending stub shafts associated with each one of said U-configured frame members, and including an association device;
- and
- (d) said shelf assembly being formed of a plurality of wire members which are welded together at all contacting locations of said wire members with one said wire member continuously extending about the perimeter of said lateral said edge regions and said front edge region and also defining said rear edge region;
- whereby said shelf subassembly is supportable by said stub shafts and said flat monitor is supportable by said shelf member.
