Multiple access computer monitoring system

A multiple-access computer monitoring system which functions in combination with a central processing unit (CPU) that operates a primary computer monitor, said system comprising a means for electrically and structurally attaching to said primary computer monitor at least a first secondary computer monitor and a second secondary computer that are operated by said CPU, wherein said primary. computer monitor, said first secondary computer monitor and said second secondary computer can be selectively operated independently or simultaneously, wherein said means for structurally attaching said first and second secondary computer monitors to said primary computer monitor comprises:

• a) a console structure comprising an upper section, a lower section, a rear section, a first side section, a first inner-side section, a second inner-side section, and a second side section, wherein between the first and second inner-side sections extends a central opening, between the first side section and the first inner-side section extends a first outer opening and between the second side section and the second inner-side section extends a second outer opening, wherein each said outer opening includes an upper-inner surface and a lower-inner surface, wherein the central opening is dimensioned to enclose said primary computer monitor and said first and second outer openings are dimensioned to respectively enclose said first and second secondary computer monitors,
• b) an integrated retractable-pivoting slide assembly comprising a stationary section and a sliding-pivoting sections, wherein the stationary section is longitudinally attached to the lower-inner surface of each said outer opening and a sliding-pivoting section is longitudinally attached to the lower surface of said first and second secondary computer monitors, wherein when said first and second secondary computer monitors are fully extracted from their respective outer openings, said slide assembly allows the extracted said monitors to be pivoted outward into a selectable viewing position, and
• c) a set of openings located on the rear section of said console structure, wherein a first opening is dimensioned to receive an a-c power cord and a second opening dimensioned to receive either the first cable assembly or the second cable assembly.

A multiple-access computer monitoring system which functions in combination with a central processing unit (CPU) that operates a primary computer monitor, said system comprising a means for electrically and structurally attaching to said primary computer monitor at least a first secondary computer monitor and a second secondary computer that are operated by said CPU, wherein said primary computer monitor, said first secondary computer monitor and said second secondary computer can be selectively operated independently or simultaneously, wherein said means for structurally attaching said first and second secondary computer monitors to said primary computer monitor comprises:

• a) a console structure comprising an upper section, a lower section, a rear section, a first side section having a front edge, and a second side section having a front edge, wherein said console structure is dimensioned to enclose said primary computer monitor,
• b) a first hinge assembly having a first side that is attached to the first side section and a second side that is attached to an inner side of said first secondary computer monitor, wherein when said first secondary computer monitor is in a non-use position it is folded over to interface with said primary computer monitor, and
• c) a second hinge assembly having a first side that is attached to the second side section and a second side that is attached to an inner side of said second secondary computer monitor, wherein said second hinge assembly is longer and is centrally offset to overlap said first secondary computer monitor when said second secondary computer monitor is folded-over into its non-use position.
