Computer Mouse And Keyboard Support With Chair Attachment And Lap System

Abstract

A computer support is attachable to a chair. The computer support has a top support means, a first pivoting means, and an alignment means. The top support means has a first surface joined to a second surface. The first pivoting means allows at least partial rotation movement of the top support about a first pivot point. The alignment means moves at least a portion of the computer support along a horizontal plane. A frame means attaches the top support means to a chair. The computer support provides a first use position mounted to an external body and a lap use position separated from an external body.

1 . A support system attachable to a chair comprising:
 a support platform having a pair of arm segments;   a keyboard support member coupled to one of the arm segments; and,   wherein lateral and reciprocal movement of the keyboard support member is permitted relative to the support platform.   
   
   
       2 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein the support platform is generally U-shaped. 
   
   
       3 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein a distance between the arm segments can be increased or decreased to adjust to a width of the chair. 
   
   
       4 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein straps are attached to the arms segments and the chair. 
   
   
       5 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein support brackets are attached to the support platform and the chair. 
   
   
       6 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein an extension is coupled to the keyboard support member. 
   
   
       7 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein the support platform includes a concave portion for receiving a portion of an armrest extending from the chair. 
   
   
       8 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein the one arm segment includes a pair of parallel channels. 
   
   
       9 . The support system of  claim 8  wherein the keyboard support member includes a structure member having a pair of parallel rails extending within the channels. 
   
   
       10 . The support system of  claim 9  wherein the structure member includes a channel that is generally C-shaped in cross section. 
   
   
       11 . The support system of  claim 10  wherein the keyboard support member includes a channel that is generally C-shaped in cross section. 
   
   
       12 . The support system of  claim 11  wherein a pin that is generally I-shaped in cross section extends into the channels of the structure member and the keyboard support member. 
   
   
       13 . The support member of  claim 1  wherein a support member is coupled to the other arm segment and the keyboard support member. 
   
   
       14 . A support system attachable to a chair comprising:
 a support platform having a pair of arm segments;   a keyboard support member coupled to one of the arm segments having a pair of parallel channels, the keyboard support member having a structure member with a pair of parallel rails extending within the channels; and,   wherein lateral and reciprocal movement of the keyboard support member is permitted relative to the support platform.   
   
   
       15 . The support system of  claim 14  wherein the structure member includes a channel that is generally C-shaped in cross section. 
   
   
       16 . The support system of  claim 15  wherein the keyboard support member includes a channel that is generally C-shaped in cross section. 
   
   
       17 . The support system of  claim 16  wherein a pin that is generally I-shaped in cross section extends into the channels of the structure member and the keyboard support member. 
   
   
       18 . The support system of  claim 17  wherein a distance between the arm segments can be increased or decreased to adjust to a width of the chair. 
   
   
       19 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein an extension is coupled to the keyboard support member. 
   
   
       20 . The support system of  claim 1  wherein the support platform includes a concave portion for receiving a portion of an armrest extending from the chair.
