A CPU supporting assembly comprising a pair of interrelated supporting structures having upwardly facing supporting surfaces configured and positioned to support a CPU in downwardly engaged relation thereon. Two spaced pairs of generally oppositely facing confining surfaces facing toward one another are configured and positioned to confine a CPU therebetween. The supporting structures are constructed and arranged to move through a range of adjustable movements wherein a horizontal distance between the pairs of confining surfaces is adjustable to allow CPU's of various sizes to be supported by the assembly. The supporting structures further include a plurality of downwardly facing surfaces configured to position the supporting structures on a horizontally extending surface such as a floor.

1. An adjustable CPU supporting assembly comprising:a pair of interrelated supporting structures having upwardly facing supporting surfaces configured and positioned to support a CPU in downwardly engaged relation thereon and two spaced pairs of generally oppositely facing confining surfaces facing toward one another configured and positioned to confine the CPU therebetween; pivotal connecting structure constructed and arranged to pivotally interconnect said supporting structures to one another for relative movement with respect to one another about a generally upright axis in opening and closing directions through a range of positions of adjustment, said supporting structures being constructed and arranged such that pivotal movement thereof through said range of positions of adjustment adjusts a horizontal distance between said pairs of confining surfaces to support CPU's of various sizes therebetween; a yieldable restraining mechanism operatively connected between said supporting structures, said yieldable restraining mechanism providing locking structure constructed and arranged to operate when there is no CPU supported on said supporting structures (a) to releasably hold said supporting structures in locking engagement in a first position of adjustment, (b) to release said supporting structures from said locking engagement in response to manual force applied to said supporting structures for movement in the opening or closing directions thereof, and (c) to relock said supporting structures to releasably hold said supporting structures in a second position of adjustment when said manual force is removed; and a plurality of downwardly facing surfaces configured with respect to said supporting structures to support said supporting structures on a horizontally extending surface.
