Abstract
An adherable document support stand for removably mounting a document holder includes a support body fitted with a through receiving mortise. The support body is adherable at either side of a video display monitor and positions the through mortise in a forward facing direction. A document holder includes a copyholder, a dual ball and socket assembly, and an engageable support arm for mounting and securing the document holder on the support body. The support arm includes a frictionally engageable portion which is slidably received by an entry opening of the receiving mortise so that the document holder may be secured to the support body. The stand allows the copyholder to be slidably mounted or removed and, once mounted, to be extended or retracted by its user and to be adjusted laterally, vertically and universally with respect to its rotational position.
