Abstract

A portable shelf apparatus for a notebook computer adapted to be mounted on a stationary body such as a table having an edge in which a pair of folding supports each includes an elongated support arm and a hanger for suspending the support from the edge, the hanger and arm are joined by a support hinge, and a deck having opposite ends attached to the support arms for supporting the notebook computer thereon. Each end of the deck is either foldably attached to one of the support arms by an end hinge or slidably attached via a tongue and groove joint. The deck may also include at least two folding leaves joined by a central buttress hinge. The hanger is a generally U-shaped support device having an upper suspension member and a lower stabilizer member and an opening therebetween for receiving the table edge. The lower stabilizer member includes a rod slidably supported in a first bore through the lower stabilizer member with one end extending into the opening toward the upper suspension member and a cam in the lower stabilizer fixes the position of the rod in the lower stabilizer member.
