Abstract

A document support stand may be located at a computer workstation and positioned to either side of a monitor to support a projected document or document holder. The stand combines a first support apparatus, a support stand, and a second support apparatus, a document holder. The support stand can support articles at various spatial locations without the use of mechanical balancing devices and includes a main support body, an arm, and a bracket which can be adapted to function alone or in combination with a second support apparatus, a document holder. The viewing side of the document holder can position a mounted document or document holder in rotation and inclination about three axes of rotation. The viewing side is fitted with rotatable first and second sections. The rotatable sections provide for displacing the spring clip and/or the support ledge from the viewing side to provide an unobstructed planar surface to allow a document holder engaging means to cooperate in the mounting and positioning of a modified document holder.
