Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example adjustable laptop mount includes: a first segment having a first end and a second end; a second segment having a first end and a second end; a third segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment and the second end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the first end of the second segment; a first attachment mechanism at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to a first furniture element; a second attachment mechanism at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to a second furniture element; a fourth segment having a first end and a second end, the second end of the fourth segment to attach to a tray; and a clamp at the third segment to removably affix the fourth segment to the third segment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adjustable laptop mount comprising:
a first segment having a first end and a second end;
a second segment having a first end and a second end;
a third segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment and the second end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the first end of the second segment;
a first attachment mechanism at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to a first furniture element;
a second attachment mechanism at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to a second furniture element;
a fourth segment having a first end and a second end, the second end of the fourth segment to attach to a tray; and
a clamp at the third segment to removably affix the fourth segment to the third segment.

2. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , further including a first base attachment mechanism to position the first segment with respect to the third segment.

3. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 2 , wherein the first base attachment mechanism is to include an opening in the first segment through which at least one of a screw, bolt, or pin is inserted to position the first segment with respect to the third segment.

4. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , further including a second base attachment mechanism to position the second segment with respect to the third segment.

5. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 4 , wherein the second base attachment mechanism is to include an opening in the second segment through which at least one of a screw, bolt, or pin is inserted to position the second segment with respect to the third segment.

6. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein the third segment is to include a slider track.

7. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 6 , further including a slider associated with the third segment.

8. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 7 , wherein the slider includes a slider attachment mechanism to position the slider with respect to the clamp at the third segment.

9. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 7 , wherein the slider is to be associated with the slider track of the third segment.

10. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein the overlap of the third segment and the first segment is adjustable to adjust a length of the laptop mount, and the overlap of the third segment and the second segment is adjustable to adjust a length of the laptop mount.

11. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first segment, second segment, third segment, or fourth segment is formed of metal.

12. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first attachment mechanism or second attachment mechanism includes or is made of hook and loop closures.

13. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 12 , wherein the clamp at the third segment includes at least one bolt.

14. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein the clamp at the third segment is at least one of a clamp with an inner sleeve, a gas spring, or crank operated rack and pinion gear system.

15. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein the fourth segment is at least one of a pole, a pole with a plurality of holes, or a scissor lift arm.

16. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , wherein the first furniture element includes a first exercise equipment arm, and wherein the second furniture element includes a second exercise equipment arm.

17. A method of manufacturing an adjustable laptop mount, the method comprising:
forming a first segment having a first end and a second end;
forming a second segment having a first end and a second end;
forming a third segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment and the second end of the third segment to at least partially overlap the first end of the second segment;
forming a first attachment mechanism at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to a first furniture element;
forming a second attachment mechanism at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to a second furniture element;
forming a fourth segment having a first end and a second end, the second end of the fourth segment to attach to a tray;
forming a clamp at the third segment to removably affix the fourth segment to the third segment; and
outputting the adjustable laptop mount.

18. The method of claim 17 , further including forming a first base attachment mechanism to position the first segment with respect to the third segment.

19. The method of claim 17 , further including forming a second base attachment mechanism to position the second segment with respect to the third segment.

20. An adjustable laptop mount apparatus comprising:
first means for attaching a first segment with respect to a third segment, the first means for attaching the first segment to the third segment to include an opening in the first segment through which at least one of a screw, bolt, or pin is inserted to position the first segment with respect to the third segment;
second means for attaching a second segment with respect to the third segment, the second means for attaching the second segment to the third segment to include an opening in the second segment through which at least one of a screw, bolt, or pin is inserted to position the second segment with respect to the third segment;
first means for attaching the first segment to a first furniture element; and
second means for attaching the second segment to a second furniture element.
