A support fixture is disclosed that may be removably clamped to a bed rail (or any other support member) and includes a lower support arm attached to the removable clamp through a rotatable connector. An upper support arm is attached to a distal termination of the lower support arm via a pivot connector. The combination of the lower and upper arms is referred to at times as an articulated arm assembly. A device support member is coupled to the upper support arm via a multi-stage gimbal system, perhaps in combination with a quick-release connection (allowing for the device support component to be used as a stand-alone fixture). The device support member is particularly configured to support a computing device, a communication device, or the like.

A clamp includes first and second legs pivotally and crosswise attached to one another, with a closing mechanism connected to both legs. The closing mechanism includes an anchor body having a threaded bore engaged with a threaded screw. A distal end of the threaded screw engages a drive body. Two drive-body links each have a first end engaging the drive body and a second end engaging one of the first and second legs at link joints so that when the drive body is urged in a distal direction by the drive screw, the respective first ends and the respective second ends are urged together. The clamp may form part of a computing device stand with a base arm connected to the clamp, a main arm connected to the base arm, and a device-receiving attachment operatively connected to the main arm.
