ABSTRACT:
A portable grasping apparatus comprises a clamp and an elongated clamp or clip movably interconnected in between by means of a plurality of pivoting mechanisms. The clamp secures the apparatus to a surface, such as a portable computer, without permanently being mounted to the surface. The clamp can accommodate the varying thicknesses of portable computers of all sizes. The clip holds large shape materials such as documents, paper and the like. The apparatus serves the purpose of holding documents either to the left or right side of a user of portable computers while reading or transcribing documents during travel. In a preferred embodiment, the rotation of the clip to either side of the user is by means of a rivet as a first pivoting mechanism. The apparatus may also be folded into a compact form for storage by means of a hinge as a second pivoting mechanism. The same hinge may be used to adjust the view angle of the document. The clip, serving as a line guide during transcribing or reading of documents, is transparent and has magnifying properties. Facing the user, a clock on the front side of the clamp is an added feature for the convenience of the user.
