Abstract:
1. An apparatus for supporting an electronic device, the apparatus comprising: a primary support member having first and second ends; each end of the primary support member being fixed to a secondary support component that is configured to mate with an upper surface of a device for receiving a person wherein the device for receiving a person is provided with a pair of spaced apart at least substantially parallel upper surfaces; an assembly for receiving the electronic device is mounted on the primary support member, the assembly comprising a back panel extending upwardly from and fixed to the primary support member; a pair of at least substantially parallel side supports fixed directly or indirectly to and extending upwardly from the primary support member, each of the side supports defining at least in part a channel that faces and is parallel to the channel defined at least in part by the other side support for receiving an electronic device with a side of the electronic device resting on the primary support member; and a transparent panel extending upwardly from and fixed to the primary support member by one or more hinges, the transparent panel extending upwardly from the primary support member a distance that is less than a distance that the back panel extends upwardly from the primary support member, the transparent panel being disposed with the side supports located between the transparent panel and the back panel, and wherein the transparent panel is pivotable about the at least one hinge between a first orientation where the transparent panel extends upwardly from the primary support member to shield at least a portion of a display screen of the electronic device supported by the side supports and the primary support member, and a second orientation where the transparent panel is oriented at least substantially horizontal for supporting an auxiliary object of the electronic device.
