Adapter plate for connecting two monitors to an arm mount
First Claim
1. In combination, an adapter plate holding first and second monitors to an arm mount, the combination comprising:
- a first edge spaced apart from a second edge on the adapter plate;
the adapter plate defining a first hole, a second hole, and a third hole, wherein each hole is adapted to receive a bolt therethrough while the plate is abutting the first monitor, the second monitor, and an abutment plate on the arm mount;
a first set of nuts on the first monitor;
a second set of nuts on the second monitor;
the adapter plate defining a first set of slots, wherein the first hole is part of the first set of slots;
the plate defining a second set of slots, wherein the second hole is part of the second set of slots; and
wherein the first and second set of slots are arranged complementary to the first and second set of nuts allowing mounting bolts to extend through the slots threadedly into the nuts when the two monitors abut the adapter plate.

Abstract
An adapter plate permits an arm mount with a single abutment plate to support two monitors. The adapter plate includes a first hole, a second hole, and a third hole. The holes may be part of a first set of holes, a second set of holes, and a third set of holes, respectively. Each of the sets of holes is preferably configured in a symmetric pattern compliant with VESA standard configurations for flat panel monitor mounts. One set of holes aligns with the abutment plate on the arm mount and the other two sets of holes align with the two monitors respectively to receive support members, such as bolts, therethrough to couple the two monitors to the single abutment plate on the arm mount.
