US Patent:

46572147, Apr 14, 1987

Filed:

Nov 19, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/799418

Inventors:

Daniel F. Foster - Littleton CO

International Classification:

A47G 2302

US Classification:

248176

Abstract:

A mounting stand for a cathode ray tube display screen and a keyboard work station includes a base having a screen platform mounted between two sides. A fixed copy support surface is also mounted between the two sides in front of the screen platform and is inclined downwardly. A movable copy support surface is hingedly mounted to the fixed copy support surface for moving between a use position and a nonuse position. In the use position, the copy support surface is at substantially the same angle of inclination as the fixed copy support surface so that a substantially continuous supporting surface is provided for copy material. In the nonuse position, the movable copy support surface is angled with respect to the fixed copy support surface. A suitable mechanism is provided for holding the movable copy support surface in the use position with the keyboard in front of the movable copy support surface during use. Preferably, the mounting stand includes a keyboard platform which is movably mounted to the base for horizontal movement in one embodiment and for horizontal and vertical movement in another embodiment between a use and a storage position.

Daniel F. Foster - Littleton CO

International Classification:

G09G 100

US Classification:

340700

Abstract:

A computer work station assembly comprises a display having a viewing screen, a display actuator, and mounting apparatus for supporting copy material and at least the display with respect to a work surface such that the display actuator, the copy material, and the display may be disposed in line with the viewing screen of the display disposed relatively above and longitudinally spaced from the display actuator so as to minimize reflections on the viewing screen which would distract a work station operator and so as to position the display viewing screen at a predetermined focal distance from a work station operator.
