Patent ID: 8763976

Claim:
An apparatus for removable attachment between an electronic device and a tray table coupled to an airplane seat, comprising: a base shaped to conform to a plane and sized and shaped to fit between the tray table and the airplane seat; a cantilever coupled to the base, the cantilever having a cantilever length at least as long as an edge of tray table to extend away from a seat back of the airplane seat when the tray table is in a stowed state with the base disposed between the tray table and the airplane seat back, the cantilever to support the base hanging from the edge of the tray table; an electronic mount coupled moveably coupled to the cantilever to be positioned away from the airplane seat, the electronic mount adapted to removably fasten to an electronic device including a screen, with the screen facing away from the cantilever, a first hinge coupled to the electronic mount; a riser coupled to the first hinge; and a second hinge coupled to the riser on opposite the first hinge, the second hinge coupled to the cantilever, wherein the electronic mount is moveably coupled to the base via an assembly including the first hinge coupled to the riser, which is thereby coupled to the cantilever, which is coupled to the base, providing at least two degrees of freedom of movement of the electronic mount with respect to the base; wherein, in the stowed state of the tray table, the electronic mount is moveable to position the electronic device above the base, with the screen facing away from the seat back, and in an open position of the tray table, the base is sized to rest on a surface of the tray table, with the electronic mount adapted to position the electronic device above the base, with the screen facing away from the seat back, adjust to multiple viewing angles with respect to the base.
