ABSTRACT:
A top piece is adapted to rest along a top surface of a monitor, and two side pieces extend downwardly from opposite ends of the top piece, and are adapted to rest along opposite side surfaces of the monitor. The top piece and the side pieces each include slots disposed longitudinally therein, through which sheets of paper may be inserted. Each of the side pieces has a support arm pivotally attached thereto, which swings outwardly from the side piece to support the sheet of paper. The top piece is telescopingly adjustable, to fit various size monitors. The side pieces each include a threaded extension at one end thereof, for attaching the side piece to the top piece. An internally threaded knob is rotatably mounted at each end of the top piece, and is configured to receive the threaded extension by manually rotating the knob. Each of the side pieces has a first bearing track and a second bearing track which is opposite the first bearing track. The bearing tracks are disposed longitudinally within the side piece. The bearings within the first bearing track are offset in relation to the bearings within the second bearing track, and the bearing tracks arc positioned close enough together so that a sheet of paper placed between the bearing tracks will bend slightly about portions of the bearings. In this manner, the paper is held snugly within the side piece.
