Abstract

Device workstations with multi-way leveling adjustability, arcuate base, and accessory attachment features are described.

Claims (30)

1. A device workstation comprising:

a base having an arcuate side;

a central support member coupled to the base;

a device support member coupled to the central support member via a connection having an angle from the central support member to the device support member in a direction generally toward the base, wherein the device support member is configured to rotate about the central support member;

a device support surface coupled to the device support member via a bracket and configured to rotate at least partially about a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and

an auxiliary support surface coupled to an accessory port of the bracket and configured to rotate about a fourth axis independently from the device support surface, where the fourth axis is parallel with the first axis.

2. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the base is weighted.

3. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the base has a plurality of wheels mounted on an underside of the base.

4. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the central support member includes one or more telescoping sections.

5. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the device support surface is configured to support a laptop computer.

6. The device workstation of claim 5 , wherein the device support surface includes one or more retractable device stops.

7. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the device support surface includes a device safety strap.

8. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the device support surface includes a tablet computer mount to releasably hold a tablet device.

9. The device workstation of claim 1 , further comprising a mobile device attachment accessory configured to attach to the bracket and to hold a mobile device.

10. The device workstation of claim 9 , wherein the bracket is configured to releasably and interchangeably receive one or more auxiliary support surfaces and one or more mobile device attachment accessories.

11. The device workstation of claim 9 , wherein rotation about the third axis permits the device workstation to operate on a left side or a right side of a piece of furniture.

12. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the central support member is mounted adjacent an apex of a curve of the arcuate side of the base.

13. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary support surface is configured to support a computer mouse.

14. The device workstation of claim 1 , wherein the device support member is coupled to the central support member via a slidable connection that is configured to slide up and down the central support and lock in place at a given position.

15. The device workstation of claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of device support members slidably engaged with the central support member and configured to slide up and down the central support member in order to permit multiple device support surfaces to be positioned around the central support member.

16. A device workstation comprising:

a device support member coupled to a central support member via a connection having an angle from the central support member to the device support member in a direction generally toward a base, wherein the device support member is configured to rotate about the central support member;

a device support surface coupled to the device support member via a bracket and configured to rotate at least partially about the bracket; and

an auxiliary support surface coupled the bracket, wherein the auxiliary support surface rotates about the bracket and the central support member along with the device support surface.

17. The device workstation of claim 16 , wherein the auxiliary support surface is configured to rotate about a fourth axis independently from the device support surface, where the fourth axis is parallel with a first axis.

18. The device workstation of claim 16 , wherein the device support member includes an additional rotational member disposed between the central support and the device support surface, such that the device support surface and the auxiliary support surface is configured to rotate at two points about the central axis on the device support member and is configured to rotate about another point at the bracket.

19. A device workstation comprising:

a device support member coupled to a central support member via a connection having an angle from the central support member to the device support member in a direction generally toward a base;

a device support surface coupled to the device support member via a bracket and configured to rotate at least partially about a first axis; and

an auxiliary support surface coupled to an accessory port of the bracket and configured to rotate about a fourth axis independently from the device support surface, where the fourth axis is parallel with the first axis.
