Method and apparatus for holding paper when using a laptop computer

Abstract

This invention provides an apparatus and method for holding paper when using a laptop computer having a paper tray with a means to hold paper. A first rail extends from a tops side of the paper tray and second rail extends from a bottom side of the paper tray. A first track slideably engages the first rail and a second track slideably engages the second track.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A method for holding paper when using a laptop computer comprising: 
 a. providing a paper tray that has a means to hold paper;    b. attaching the paper tray to a laptop computer;    c. positioning the paper tray so that the paper tray can be viewed when using the laptop computer; and    d. attaching paper to the paper tray.    
     
     
         2 . A method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the paper tray is attached to the back side of the display of the laptop computer.  
     
     
         3 . A method as recited in  claim 2  wherein the paper tray has a first rail that extends from a top side of the paper tray and is capable of supporting the paper tray.  
     
     
         4 . A method as recited in  claim 3  wherein the first rail slideably engages a first track.  
     
     
         5 . A method as recited in  claim 4  wherein attaching the paper tray is done by using adhesive to attach the first track to the laptop computer.  
     
     
         6 . A method as recited in  claim 4  wherein the paper tray has second rail capable of supporting the paper tray that extends from a bottom side of the paper tray.  
     
     
         7 . A method as recited in  6  wherein the second rail slideably engages a second track.  
     
     
         8 . A method as recited in  7  wherein attaching the paper tray is done by using adhesive to attach the first track and second to the laptop computer.  
     
     
         9 . A method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the apparatus is a thermo plastic resin blend.  
     
     
         10 . An apparatus for holding paper when using a laptop computer comprising: 
 a. a paper tray having a means to hold paper;    b. a first rail extending from a top side of the paper tray;    c. a second rail extending from a bottom side of the paper tray that is parallel to the first rail and extending in the same direction as the first rail;    d. a first track capable of supporting the paper tray slideably engaging the first rail; and    e. a second track capable of supporting the paper tray slideably engaging the second rail.    
     
     
         11 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the first track and the second track have a space to permit the paper tray to slide into the first track and second track when in a retracted position.  
     
     
         12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the first track and second track each have a surface that allows the first track and second track to be attached to a laptop computer.  
     
     
         13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the first track and the second track have adhesive tape.  
     
     
         14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 13  wherein the adhesive can be used between the temperatures of −40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.  
     
     
         15 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the entire apparatus weighs 8 ounces or less.  
     
     
         16 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the paper tray has a flat surface.  
     
     
         17 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the paper tray is less than an inch thick.  
     
     
         18 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the apparatus is made of a thermo plastic resin blend.  
     
     
         19 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10  wherein the paper tray is less than 8 inches long, 9 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
