A wireless interface and dedicated digital video disc (DVD) controller for video game consoles capable of playing DVDs. An adapter is inserted into one of the communication ports of the game console and provides a wireless communication receiver for receiving and inputting control commands into the game console. A dedicated DVD remote control device includes a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting DVD player control functions to the game console via the adapter and thereby enables wireless control of the DVD functions of the game console. The control buttons on the dedicated DVD remote control correspond in function to the wired game controller buttons that would otherwise control the DVD functions of the game console, but have an appearance to the user that corresponds to a standard DVD player remote control. Thus, the user need not navigate through menus or otherwise determine the DVD player functions of the wired game controller buttons with symbol designations used for various functions of game play.

Retractable cord surge protector

An inexpensive, compact, portable, retractable cord, visual indicator, electrical/telephone connector-type surge protector, which comprises a housing composed of a molded plastic, with two female receiving grounding inlets on its upper surface, a visual indicator light, and a pair of female telephone inlets on one side. On another side, the housing has two openings for a retractable electrical extension cord and a retractable telephone cord. On the opposite side of the housing are two independent, retaining, on-off switches for the two cords. The housing is composed of two sections, an upper and lower section, with an inner spring coil mechanism on two independent reels in each section for the electrical and telephone cords respectively. The invention is designed to be used with standard electrical apparatus or other sensitive electrical devices, which are to be protected from electrical surges, where extension cords may be required, and allows for the retraction of the cords when not required.

A document copy holder which comprises a copy holder panel stand, a document holder clip and a document line guide with .magnifying capabilities. The panel stand is a flat, generally rectangular surface with integral support legs and a hingeably secured support section cut out from the middle of the stand and extending outwardly to the back, with hingeably secured support legs connected by an inwardly extending ledge that is inserted into selected receiving holes at the back of the panel stand to provide for a desired inclined angle of use for the user. The document copy holder clip is positioned at the top of the panel stand to retain documents, and the document line guide is slidably secured to the panel stand at the sides to further retain documents and to provide for a line guide, and may also have magnification capabilities for easier reading. A screw mechanism on the line guide enables the user to adjust the line guide arm away from the panel stand surface and optionally to turn the line guide arm away from the panel stand entirely to adjust or replace documents.

Computer monitor arm

A printer-support stand which comprises a pair of first and second support legs adapted to be placed in a spaced-apart relationship to provide a printer-support stand. Each leg is comprised of an integrally molded plastic material, and comprises upward front and back sections, a base element extending between the front and back leg sections and characterized by an elongated, internal open space, and an elongated support-bar element having a generally flat top surface extending between the front and back sections, to provide an upper support surface for the printer. Each of the legs is characterized by an open internal space which mimics the shape of the leg, so that the first and second support legs may be stacked nestably within each other for convenience in shipping and displaying, with the support-stand element within the internal open space of the base in the nestable, stacked condition.

Nestable, stackable printer support stand

An adjustable computer system stand adapted to support in a generally vertical direction for positioning a computer system, which stand comprises identical first and second molded plastic sections, each section having a base and generally vertically extending supports at the one and other end of the base, having generally horizontally inwardly extending legs, with the legs having a clip at the end thereof, a clip designed to engage in a snap-in relationship with the corrugation of the opposing leg to permit a user to provide for an adjustable-width computer stand formed into the first and second sections.

Adjustable computer system stand

An adjustable monitor support apparatus to support a monitor in a viewing position, which apparatus includes a generally vertical base with a shaft, shaft bushing and outer sleeve; a monitor arm secured at the one end to the shaft housing for rotation about the shaft, and having a generally horizontal monitor support platform at the other end of the monitor arm. The monitor support platform is rotatable between locked and release positions at the other end of the monitor arm and optionally also may be tilted to a selected angular position. The monitor support apparatus is secured to a surface, such as a table top, by a threaded clamp assembly on a mounting bracket. The monitor support apparatus includes a plurality of removable, generally uniform spacer elements within the sleeve and adjacent the shaft. The one end of the monitor arm is adjusted to a selected, vertical height by the user positioning and arranging the spacer elements in a vertically stacked, aligned, interlocking arrangement beneath the shaft bushing. The monitor support apparatus optionally may include a keyboard support slidably mounted for movement between a compact, non-use position beneath the support platform and an outwardly-extended use position, to support a keyboard beneath the supported monitor.
