Compact monitor stand
First Claim
1. An apparatus for supporting one or more monitors, comprising:
- a base stand;
a first frame portion having a top end and a bottom end coupled with the base stand;
a second frame portion having a top end, a bottom end, and a channel extending from said top end to said bottom end, said second frame portion telescopically extendable from and into said top of said first frame portion from a first top vertical position to a second bottom vertical position;
a locking mechanism for fixing said second frame portion in a vertical position within said first frame portion;
a coupling component vertically slidable within said channel from a third top vertical position to a fourth bottom vertical position; and
a monitor arm assembly having a center portion, left end portion, right end portion and a peg extending from a rear surface of said center portion wherein a front surface of each of said portions is configured to fixedly receive a monitor, and said peg is configured to insert into said coupling component such that said monitor arm assembly is removably attachable to and rotatable within said coupling component.

Abstract
The present specification provides an apparatus for supporting one or more monitors. The apparatus includes a base stand having one or more wheels for enabling movement of the apparatus; a first rigid frame having a top end and a bottom end attached with the base stand; a second extendable frame having a top end and a bottom end and telescopically movable within the first rigid frame; a monitor arm assembly removably coupled with the top end of the second frame and configured to receive a plurality of monitors. The apparatus is transformable from a first collapsed configuration for transport and storage into a second operational configuration by rotating or removing the monitor arm assembly and by moving the second extendable frame relative to the first rigid frame.

18. A method of transforming a monitor stand from a first collapsed configuration into a second operation configuration, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a monitor stand comprising;
a base stand;
a first frame portion having a top end and a bottom end coupled with the base stand;
a second frame portion having a top end, a bottom end, and a channel extending from said top end to said bottom end, said second frame portion telescopically extendable from and into said top of said first frame portion from a first top vertical position to a second bottom vertical position and a plurality of vertical positions therebetween;
a locking mechanism for fixing said second frame portion in a vertical position within said first frame portion;
a coupling component vertically slidable within said channel from a third top vertical position to a fourth bottom vertical position and a plurality of vertical positions therebetween;
a monitor arm assembly having a center portion, left end portion, right end portion and a peg extending from a rear surface of said center portion wherein a front surface of each of said portions is configured to fixedly receive a monitor, and said peg is configured to insert into said coupling component such that said monitor arm assembly is removably attachable to and rotatable within said coupling component;sliding the coupling component to the third top position or any other vertical position above said fourth bottom vertical position; releasing said locking mechanism; extending said second frame portion from said top end of said first frame portion to said first top vertical position or any other vertical position above said second bottom position; re-engaging said locking mechanism; and rotating the monitor arm assembly into a horizontal position perpendicular to said second frame portion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
