Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
An adjustable display stand comprising: a base; an arced channel support coupled to the base having a T-channel along a curved face of the arched channel; and a display having a T-shaped protrusion configured to slidably mate with the T-channel of the arced channel support affording adjustable support for the display.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
An adjustable display stand comprising: a base; an arced channel support coupled to the base having a T-channel along a curved face of the arched channel; and a display having a T-shaped protrusion configured to slidably mate with the T-channel of the arced channel support affording adjustable support for the display.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The adjustable display stand of claim 1, wherein an interference between the T-channel of the arced channel support and the T-shaped protrusion of the display affords the display to be positioned in a plurality of viewing positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
An adjustable display stand comprising: a base; a main member pivotally coupled to the base having a main channel; a display; a minor member pivotally coupled to the display having a minor protrusion slidably coupled to the main channel of the main member, the minor member being configured to facilitate movement of the display when the minor protrusion slides within the main channel; an intermediate member having an intermediate protrusion slidably coupled to the main channel of the main member and an intermediate channel slidably coupled to the minor protrusion of the minor member to afford the display to move as the minor protrusion of the minor member slides within the intermediate channel of the intermediate member and as the intermediate protrusion of the intermediate member slides within the main channel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
131 words
An adjustable display stand comprising: a base; a main member pivotally coupled to the base having a main channel; a display; a minor member pivotally coupled to the display having a minor protrusion slidably coupled to the main channel of the main member, the minor member being configured to facilitate movement of the display when the minor protrusion slides within the main channel; an intermediate member having an intermediate protrusion slidably coupled to the main channel of the main member and an intermediate channel slidably coupled to the minor protrusion of the minor member to afford the display to move as the minor protrusion of the minor member slides within the intermediate channel of the intermediate member and as the intermediate protrusion of the intermediate member slides within the main channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The adjustable display stand of claim 3 further comprising a minor hand wheel configured to tension the pivotally coupling between the display and the minor member to control angular motion of the display.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The adjustable display stand of claim 3 further comprising a main hand wheel configured to tension the pivotally coupling between the base and the main member to control angular motion of the main member.
Claim 8
