Adjustable stand for electronic calculators or the like

Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a stand which can be adjusted for use with electronic calculators or similar devices, having a wide range of sizes. The stand supports the electronic calculator at an inclined angle for easy use and improved visibility. For shipment, the stand can be knocked down into four pieces which may be assembled very easily. In the process of assembly, the stand can be adjusted to the desired size. Illustrated stand comprises left and right side panels, together with front and rear panels which are adapted to be connected to the side panels by means of fastening elements which are preferably formed integrally with the panels. The front and rear panels comprise modular elements with score marks or the like therebetween. Fastening elements are formed on the various modular elements so that each modular element is complete in itself. Thus, the front and rear panels can be adjusted to the desired width by cutting off one or more of the modular elements along the score marks. The panels can be made of a suitable plastic material which is easy to cut with ordinary scissors. After the front and rear panels have been cut to the desired size, the fastening elements on the front and rear panels are engaged with the mating elements on the side panels. In the illustrated construction, the fastening elements comprise pins on the front and rear panels adapted to be received in openings formed in flanges on the side panels. Other flexible flanges are formed on the side panels to retain the front and rear panels against accidental disconnection therefrom.
