1. A computer display support structure comprising:
- a support member having a base and a column connected thereto; and
an arm assembly connected to the column, said arm assembly a) capable of supporting at or toward one end thereof a first computer display that displays a first image, b) capable of supporting at or toward an opposite end thereof a second computer display that displays a second image, c) including a first mounting assembly for mounting the first computer display, d) including a second mounting assembly for mounting the second computer display, e) having at least i) a first operating position in which the second image is viewable by a first person viewing the first image and ii) a second operating position in which the second image is viewable by a second person opposite the first person viewing the first image, such that when the second image is viewable by the second person in the second operating position, the first image is not viewable by the second person, and f) having an arm that extends from the column, said arm including two portions that are connected via a joint that allows the two portions to hinge, wherein(i) the arm assembly is extendable from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration, the distance between the one end and the opposite end being greater in the extended configuration than in the retracted configuration,(ii) each of the one end and the opposite end is capable of moving independently between a first location and a second location that is further away from where the arm assembly is connected to the column than the first location,(iii) in both the first operating position and the second operating position each of the first computer display and the second computer display is capable of being more vertical than horizontal,(iv) the first mounting assembly is adapted for supporting the rear of the first computer display, and(v) the second mounting assembly is adapted for supporting the rear of the second computer display.

Abstract
A dual screen display system (10) having, a base (24), a pair of electronic display screens (16), an arm assembly (20, 22) supporting the display screens (16) and connected to the base, swingable mountings (28, 30) for swingably mounting the display screens, the mountings being adjustable as to the angular orientation of each of the display screens relative to the arm assembly between a first arrangement with the screens in a common plane, and a second arrangement in which the screens are inwardly swung positions thereby to permit each of the screens to be swung into desired operative angular orientation, and adjustable movement limiting devices (54), engaging the swinging mountings and limiting movement of the screens. Also disclosed are interchangeable mounting brackets (80, 86) for mounting screens of varying sizes, or for mounting screens in various configurations, and hingeable screens (12A, 12B) swingable to display to opposite sides, and a swingable ball and socket mounting for mounting various articles in a desired orientation. Various alternative embodiments of support arm assemblies are disclosed.
