Claims
- 1. A system comprising:a computer display device having a screen; a pocket for holding a sheet of material; and at least one mounting unit for pivotably mounting the pocket to the computer display device; wherein the pocket is detachably mounted to the mounting unit with the pocket rotatable between a first position wherein the pocket lies parallel with a front surface of the computer display device with the pocket not obscuring any significant portion of a display screen of the computer display device and a second position wherein the pocket does not lie parallel with the front surface but extends away from the front surface also not obscuring any significant portion of the display screen.
- 2. A system comprising:a computer display device having a screen; a pocket for holding a sheet of material; and at least one mounting unit for pivotably mounting the pocket to the computer display device; wherein each mounting unit includes a planar base; a semi-ring member having a free end and a fixed end with the fixed end mounted to the planar base; and an adhesive strip for mounting the planar base to a surface of the computer display device.
- 3. The system of claim 2 wherein the fixed end of semi-ring member is mounted perpendicular to the planar base and wherein the free end of the semi-ring member terminates in a flat end portion.
- 4. The system of claim 3 wherein the free end of the semi-ring member is offset from an adjacent end of the planar base leaving a linear slot there-between for passage of an outer edge portion of a pocket as the free end is passed through a respective mounting opening of the pocket, the slot sized to be substantially smaller than an inner diameter of the semi-ring member such that the pocket, once mounted to the card holding members, is not easily dislodged from the card holding members.
- 5. A system comprising:a computer display device having a screen; a pocket for holding a sheet of material; and at least one mounting unit for pivotably mounting the pocket to the computer display device; wherein first and second mounting units are provided, with the first mounting unit mounted near an upper side surface of the computer device for receiving an upper mounting hole of the pocket and with the second mounting unit mounted near a lower side surface of the computer device for receiving a lower mounting hold of the pocket.
- 6. A system comprising:a computer display device having a display screen and a front surface surrounding the screen; a display card having printed indicia thereon; a pocket for receiving the display card; and mounting units detachably mounting the pocket to the computer display device with the pocket rotatable along an axis parallel with an outer side edge of the front surface of the computer display device from a first position wherein the pocket lies parallel with and against the front surface of the computer display device with the pocket not obscuring any significant-portion of the display screen and with at least a portion of the printed indicia of the card received within the pocket facing outwardly for viewing and a second position wherein the pocket does not lie parallel with nor against the front surface but extends away from the front surface, also not obscuring any significant portion of the display screen.
- 7. The system of claim 6 wherein first and second mounting units are provided, with the first mounting unit mounted near an upper side surface of the computer device for receiving an upper mounting hole of the pocket and with the second mounting unit mounted near a lower side surface of the computer device for receiving a lower mounting hold of the pocket.
- 8. The system of claim 6 wherein each of the mounting units comprise:a planar base; a semi-ring member having a free end and a fixed end with the fixed end mounted to the planar base; and an adhesive strip for mounting the planar base to a surface of the computer display device.
- 9. The system of claim 8 wherein the fixed end of semi-ring member is mounted perpendicular to the planar base and wherein the free end of the semi-ring member terminates in a flat end portion.
- 10. The system of claim 9 wherein the free end of the semi-ring member is offset from an adjacent end of the planar base leaving a linear slot there-between for passage of an outer edge portion of the pocket as the free end is passed through a respective mounting opening of the pocket, the slot sized to be substantially smaller than an inner diameter of the semi-ring member such that the pocket, once mounted to the card holding members, is not easily dislodged from the card holding members.
- 11. The system of claim 6 wherein first and second mounting units are provided, with the first mounting unit mounted near an upper side surface of the computer device for receiving an upper mounting hole of the pocket and with the second mounting unit mounted near a lower side surface of the computer device for receiving a lower mounting hole of the pocket.
- 12. The system of claim 6 wherein the pocket is substantially transparent.
- 13. The system of claim 6 wherein the pocket is rectangular and includes an opening along a top end thereof for permitting insertion and removal of a sheet of material.
