Abstract
A support apparatus for securing a portable electronic device includes a backer plate, a plurality of coupling devices, a power supply tray, a pivotable bracket assembly, a pair of stiffening plates, a pivot axis rod, a locking feature, and a securement strap. The plurality of coupling devices couple to the backer plate and can be coupled to one or more existing structural support elements. The power supply tray secures a stationary power supply electrically coupled to the portable electronic device. The pivotable bracket assembly secures and enables rotation of the portable electronic device. The pivot axis rod pivotally connects to the pivotable bracket assembly, and rigidly connects to the opposing stiffening plates. The locking feature selectively retains the pivotable bracket assembly in an upright vertical position. The securement strap couples the front of the pivotable bracket assembly to the backer plate while securing the top of the portable electronic device.
