Computing device supporting structure
View Patent ↗A support prong system for a laptop device or other device includes one or more support prongs that are attachable to an underside of the device. Each support prong has a proximal prong portion for attachment nearest the device, and a most distal portion for contact with a device supporting surface. The support prongs may include one or more intermediate prong portions between the proximal prong portion and most distal portion. The system includes an attachable mount typically attached to the underside of the device and residing between the proximal prong portion and the device. The attachable mount has an active coupler member that couples and decouples with the proximal prong portion. Height and angle adjustment for the laptop or other device may be obtained by adjusting the one or more support prongs.
1. A device support system comprising:
(1) a device;
(2) a support member including a plurality of prong members adapted to connect together;
(3) a mounting member attached to an attachment surface of the device, the mounting member including an active coupler member, the active coupler member including an aperture with a longitudinal axis slanted relative to the attachment surface of the device, the aperture adapted to mate to an end of the support member;
(4) the support member is length adjustable by adding or removing the prong members in a stacked coaxial configuration.
2. The device support system according to claim 1 , the mounting member including a passive coupler portion separate from the active coupler member adapted to store the support member in a stowed position when disconnected from the mating portion of the active coupler member.
