Abstract
A portable, light weight support stand for vertical mounting and use of a flexible digitizer. The stand is placed against a wall or other vertical structure so that writing pressure on the digitizer is supported by the wall and not by the stand. The entire structure is supported by legs extending at an angle from the stand to a floor adjacent to the supporting wall. The result is a very light weight, highly portable structure that provides all of the support necessary to maintain writing operations on a flexible digitizer while avoiding the weight and awkwardness of conventional rigid digitizers and support stands.
