Abstract

An LCD support system includes structure adaptable to selectively accommodate a central processing unit, a plurality of media drivers and a plurality of viewing screens so that no external electrical cabling is needed to couple the various subcomponents to one another. The plurality of viewing screens are selectively positioned along vertical and/or horizontal arms extending from the structure. Slidable brackets having viewing screens coupled thereto are movable along the arms of the structure to customize the multiple viewing screen arrangement according to a desired spacing and/or setup. A central processing unit may be readily detached from a first computer system having a first viewing screen configuration and attached to a second computer system having an alternative viewing screen configuration. The present invention provides a very compact, uncluttered means for supporting one or more LCD screens.

Claims

1. A computer having a central processing unit and a structure for selectively arranging a combination of a plurality of viewing screens, said structure comprising:

a support having a central processing unit interface portion disposed on an intermediate portion thereof for selectively interconnecting with the central processing unit;

a column upwardly extending from the support;

a laterally extending arm having an engagement portion for selectively coupling to a complimentary engagement portion disposed on the column; and

at least one bracket coupled to the arm and operable to slidably transverse along the arm, the bracket operable to couple with one of the plurality of viewing screens.
