Lap top workstation with leveling adjustability and accessory attachment features
View Patent ↗A lap top work station featuring an adjustable side by side tilting of a main support platform for eliminating a side by side out of level condition caused by a structural deformation and also featuring a pair of accessory mounting sockets, both features are accomplished by a pair of clevis, one clevis assembly attached at the end of a cross arm to provide the out of level condition, and the other fixed to the back of the main support platform and the other clevis assembly supporting the accessory mounting sockets.
1. A work station comprising:
a support structure for holding an upright support platform used to support an electronic device or non-electronic items, said support platform subject to tilting to the side from the vertical due to uneven deflection of said support structure;
said support structure including a horizontally extending cross arm;
a first clevis assembly mounted to a back of said support platform and including a pair of interfit U-shaped pieces, each said piece defining one side of said first clevis assembly;
a second clevis assembly also having a pair of interfit U-shaped pieces also defining one side of said second clevis assembly one side attached to an end of said cross arm;
said second clevis assembly also having a first side attached to a second side of said first clevis assembly to enable manual rotation of said first side of said second clevis assembly; a frictional force arranged to hold any adjusted position of said second clevis assembly;
said second clevis assembly requiring exertion of a higher second friction force to reposition the second clevis assembly;
said second side of said first clevis assembly able to be manually rotated about an axis normal to said second side to an extent limited by a slot extension feature of said second side, and a screw passing through said slot in said extension feature, a limited associated rotational adjustment movement of said support platform to restore a vertical position of said support platform.
2. The work station according to claim 1 wherein an end of each U-shaped piece of said first clevis assembly has an aligned socket mounted thereto rotatably movable thereon and held in any adjusted position by a threaded set screw, said socket able to thereby hold an adjustably mounted optional attachment to said first clevis assembly.
