Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. 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 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 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 attachment mechanism at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to a first furniture element.

3. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 1 , further including a second attachment mechanism at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to a second furniture element.

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

5. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 4 , further including a second base attachment mechanism to position the first end of the second segment at a second position with respect to the third segment to generate a second overlap length.

6. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 5 , wherein the first overlap length is different from the second overlap length.

7. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 5 , wherein the first overlap length and the second overlap length are equal.

8. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 5 , wherein the first segment, the second segment, and the third segment are a base of the adjustable laptop mount, the base having a first length.

9. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 8 , wherein the first base attachment mechanism is to position the second end of the first segment at a third position with respect to the third segment to generate a third overlap length.

10. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 9 , wherein the second base attachment mechanism is to position the first end of the second segment at a fourth position with respect to the third segment to generate a fourth overlap length.

11. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 10 , wherein the third overlap length is greater than the first overlap length and the fourth overlap length is greater than the second overlap length.

12. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 11 , wherein the base has a second length.

13. The adjustable laptop mount of claim 12 , wherein the first length is greater than the second length.

14. 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; and
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.

15. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 14 , further including a first means for attaching the first segment to a first furniture element.

16. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 14 , further including a second means for attaching the second segment to a second furniture element.

17. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first means for attaching the first segment with respect to the third segment is to position an end of the first segment at a first position with respect to the third segment to generate a first overlap length and the second means for attaching the second segment with respect to the third segment is to position an end of the second segment at a second position with respect to the third segment to generate a second overlap length.

18. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the first segment, the second segment, and the third segment are a base of the adjustable laptop mount apparatus, the base having a first length.

19. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the first means for attaching the first segment with respect to the third segment is to position the end of the first segment at a third position with respect to the third segment to generate a third overlap length and the second means for attaching the second segment with respect to the third segment is to position the end of the second segment at a fourth position with respect to the third segment to generate a fourth overlap length.

20. The adjustable laptop mount apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the base has a second length, the first length greater than the second length.
