Claims
- 1. A shelf subassembly for supporting a flat monitor in an adjustable monitor support, said shelf assembly comprising in combination:
- (a) a generally rectangular, shelf member having an upper face and an opposed lower face, front and rear opposed edge regions, opposed lateral side edge regions, and an upstanding first flange extending along said front edge region;
- (b) a pair of generally U-configured flattened frame members, each one of said frame members being:
- (1) substantially vertically oriented, relative to said shelf member,
- (2) disposed in spaced, parallel relationship relative to the other frame member, and
- (3) adjacent to and connected with a different respective one of said lateral side edge regions, and including a connection device; and each of said frame members having respective opposite end portions whereby each opposite end portion is associated with a different corresponding corner region of the respective said lateral side edge region, so that each one of said U-configured frame members extends generally downwardly from said respective so connected lateral side edge region;
- (c) at least two longitudinally outwardly extending stub shafts associated with each one of said U-configured frame members, and including an association device; and
- (d) said shelf assembly being formed of a plurality of wire members which are welded together at all contacting locations of said wire members with one said wire member continuously extending about the perimeter of said lateral said edge regions and said front edge region and also defining said rear edge region;
- whereby said shelf subassembly is supportable by said stub shafts and said flat monitor is supportable by said shelf member.
- 2. The shelf subassembly of claim 1 wherein:
- (a) said shelf member is comprised of:
- (1) a perimetrically extending wire member that also defines the perimeter of said first flange member,
- (2) a plurality of longitudinally spaced, parallel wire members that transversely extend from said front edge region to said rear opposed edge region, and
- (3) at least one longitudinally extending reinforcing wire that extends beneath but adjacent to said parallel wire members from one said lateral side edge region to the other opposed said lateral side edge region, and
- (4) weldments joining said wire members together at each contacting location therebetween;
- (b) each of said U-configured frame comprised of a unitary wire member that is welded to said perimeter wire at said opposite end portions; and
- (c) two of said stub shafts being so associated with each one of said frame members at a mid-region thereof, and each one of said stub shafts of each one of said frame members being in longitudinally aligned relationship relative to the other one of said stub shafts that is associated with the other said frame member and also being joined thereto by a longitudinally extending interconnecting wire device.
- 3. The shelf subassembly of claim 2 wherein said perimetrically extending wire further defines the perimeter of an upstanding second flange extending along said rear edge region.
