Adjustable monitor bracket

Abstract

An adjustable monitor bracket is composed of a fixed bar and an adjustable bar pivotally mounted on the fixed bar. The fixed bar has two blocks attached to a backrest of a seat in an automobile. The adjustable bar has a tray formed at a distal end thereof and a rotary seat received in the tray. A fastener is assembled on the rotary seat and a monitor is secured on the fastener. The rotary seat is able to be turned about a vertical axis, and the fastener is able to be pivoted about a horizontal axis. By turning the adjustable bar, the rotary seat and the fastener, a user can adjust a distance and an angle between the monitor and a passenger wishing to conveniently view the monitor.
