Title: Hanging thingy over bed for tablet
Post by: hainess on July 03, 2019, 12:39:03 PM

Now for the technical bits.
Side fold soft floor camper.
I'm looking for a device that hangs from the spreader bar over the bed.
A thingy that takes a tablet so SWMBO can watch the tennis next week.
I'm fairly handy and have plenty of bits and pieces hanging around so just need an idea or 2.

Just don't mention the cricket or SOO. Great game last week.

Rod

Bend a couple of bits of 3mm rod into hooks to go over the spreader and hooked at the othe end to support tablet

here is a simple tablet holder i made up for a trip away:

it was just a piece of plywood, covered in marine carpet and four drawer handles (two to stop the ipad sliding down and two to stop it moving from side to side)...

these were the handles i used:

good size to allow ipad to slide between handle and plywood...

you might be able to do something like this, with some rod (as previously suggested) or alloy flat bar hooking over the spreader...
