The EZ Laptop Stand® is a stand for a laptop computer that is very inexpensive, extremely lightweight, easy to assemble and disassemble and folds flat for portability. It is made from foamcore for its light weight, inexpensive material cost, and strength and durability when designed in the manner that it is. Manufacturing is done by laser cutting or die cutting, both methods being cost effective and practical for use with foamcore. There are three models of the EZ Laptop Stand®, the main feature of all three consisting of primary support members, which when folded or hinged at an acute angle at their mid point, create two strong triangular sloped surfaces tapered to a narrower dimension towards the bottom, front edge (the side closest to the user), where feet protrude upward for the laptop computer to rest against. These two primary support members are connected by two smaller cross-members that slide onto them along slots that keep all the pieces of the EZ Laptop Stand® fixed, in a rigid, upright formation on which the laptop computer rests. The EZ Laptop Stand® raises the laptop computer high enough to achieve proper ergonomics for the user while allowing comfortable use of onboard keyboard, high enough to allow adequate ventilation for heat dissipation from under the computer, high enough to provide protection from spilled of beverages, and is inexpensive to buy and simple to disassemble and reassemble for easy portability.
The EZ Laptop Stand® is made in 3 different designs called Model A, Model X, and Model U. Model A and Model X are for use on a desktop surface, under any laptop computer, but each one is designed to better accommodate slightly different configurations of laptop computers. Model U is for using a laptop computer while sitting or lying down when the user wishes to use it directly on their lap.
