Abstract

There is provided a bracket, a proximal swing arm, a distal swing arm and a caddy plate. The proximal swing arm is attached to the bracket. The distal swing arm is rotatably coupled to the proximal swing arm, and the caddy plate is rotatably coupled to the distal swing arm. The caddy plate has a plurality of holes there through for the holding of implements.

Claims (24)

1. A graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, comprising, in combination:

a graph holding bracket with the graph holding bracket having a generally C-shaped configuration with a top portion and two leg portions, being a right leg portion and a left leg portion, each leg portion having a foot being a right foot and a left foot, each foot of the graph holding bracket having at least one mounting hole there through for mounting the graph holding bracket to a surface;

an at least one proximal swing mount, the at least one proximal swing mount having a first portion and a second portion, with a length there between, the at least one proximal swing mount being coupled to the graph holding bracket, the first portion of the at least one proximal swing mount having at least one mounting hole there through, with each at least one mounting hole of the at least one proximal swing mount first portion having an associated proximal swing mount bolt;

an at least one distal swing mount, the at least one distal swing mount having a first portion and a second portion, with a length there between, the at least one distal swing mount being coupled to the at least one proximal swing mount, the first portion of the at least one distal swing mount having an extension with the extension of the at least one distal swing mount having a shaft hole extending there through; and,

an at least one caddy plate, the at least one caddy plate having an upper surface and a lower surface with a thickness there between, with the thickness of the at least one caddy plate forming a caddy plate edge, the at least one caddy plate being coupled to the at least one distal swing mount, the at least one caddy plate having a proximal edge and a distal edge with a pair of arcuate edges being continuous with the proximal edge and the distal edge of the at least one caddy plate, the at least one caddy plate proximal edge being coupled to the second portion of the at least one distal swing mount.

2. The graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, as described in claim 1 with the graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising:

the second portion of the at least one proximal swing mount having an extension comprising a threaded shaft extending there from, with the threaded shaft of the second portion of the at least one proximal swing mount having an associated fastening means, the threaded shaft of the at least one proximal swing mount rotatably coupling the second portion of the proximal swing mount to the first portion of the at least one distal swing mount, the first portion of the at least one distal swing mount being rotatably coupled to the second end of the at least one proximal swing mount by the threaded shaft of the second portion of the proximal swing mount passing through the distal swing mount first portion extension shaft hole;

the second portion of the distal swing mount having an extension comprising a threaded shaft, the threaded shaft of the second portion of the distal swing mount having an associated fastening means, the threaded shaft of the second portion of the at least one distal swing mount rotatably coupling the distal swing mount to the at least one caddy plate; and,

the proximal edge of the at least one caddy plate having a protuberance with a hole through the protuberance of the proximal edge of the at least one caddy plate, the protuberance of the proximal edge of the at least one caddy plate being rotatably coupled to the second end of the at least one distal swing mount.

3. The graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, as described in claim 2 with the graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising:

each leg of the graph holding bracket having an inner surface and an outer surface with a thickness there between, with the thickness of each leg forming an outer edge of each leg; and,

the at least one proximal swing mount being removeably coupled to one of the legs of the graph holding bracket by the associated proximal swing mount bolt, the associated proximal swing mount bolt passing through the at least one mounting hole of the at least one proximal swing mount first portion and the at least one attachment hole of the graph holding bracket leg.

4. The graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, as described in claim 3 with the at least one graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising:

each leg of the graph holding bracket having at least one attachment hole there through; and,

the graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising the graph holding bracket having a central wire hole there through.

5. The graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, as described in claim 4 with the graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising:

the graph holding bracket top portion having an upper surface and a lower surface with a thickness there between;

the graph holding bracket fabricated of a rigid material;

the proximal swing mount fabricated of a rigid material;

the at least one distal swing mount being fabricated of a rigid material; and,

the at least one caddy plate being fabricated of a rigid material.

6. The graph mount with tool and accessory caddy for holding devices and items, as described in claim 5 with the graph mount with tool and accessory caddy further comprising:

each leg of the graph holding bracket having an inner surface and an outer surface with a thickness there between, with the thickness of each leg forming an outer edge of each leg; and,

the at least one proximal swing mount being removeably coupled to one of the legs of the graph holding bracket by the associated proximal swing mount bolt, the associated proximal swing mount bolt passing through the at least one mounting hole of the at least one proximal swing mount first portion and the at least one attachment hole of the graph holding bracket leg.
