Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a stand 1 for an external flat screen display device 4a such as an LCD or plasma display monitor. Accordingly, the stand 1 has base side members 2 that create clearance 6a where an attached portable computer display can be stored behind a mounted, external flat screen display 4a. The attached portable computer display 10 is slid between the base side members while being tucked under and behind the mounted flat screen display 4a. The mounted flat screen display 4a remains positioned directly above the portable computer's 9 keyboard, while the portable computer 9 remains positioned between the base side members. The present invention also provides a flat screen display stand 1 that does not significantly increase the dimensions of the shipping container. Alternatively, this invention may be used to mount flat screen display 4a devices to both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
