Seatback mounting adapter

Abstract

My flat panel display mounting adapter invention is specifically designed to mount objects such as flat panel displays to the seatback of commercially available reclining chairs and passively maintains positioning for the chair's occupant throughout the full range of chair movement. Additionally, my invention passively maintains positioning of objects such as flat panel displays when the reclining chair has such built-in features such as rocking, gliding, swiveling and castor sliding capabilities.

         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the recited objects are electro-mechanical devices positioned foreword of the seatback. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the electro-mechanical devices are any or all flat panel displays, keyboard, computer pointer and remote controls. 
     
     
         10 . A seatback mounting adapter suitable for installation on commercially available reclining chairs, the seatback mounting adapter comprising an elongated rigid member, a means for said member attachment to the seatback, and means enabling said member to attach to objects useful for the chair occupant. 
     
     
         11 . The mounting adapter of  claim 10  wherein the recited objects are electro-mechanical devices positioned foreword of the seatback. 
     
     
         12 . The mounting adapter of  claim 11  wherein the electro-mechanical devices are any or all flat panel displays, keyboard, computer pointer and remote controls.
