## Abstract

A vertically-adjustable work station is described. The work station includes a housing, a vertically-adjustable column, a work surface attached to the top of the column, and a motor to move the column vertically. In one embodiment, the work station is completely supported by a wall. In another embodiment, the work station is free from floor support.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A work station comprising:
a housing suspended at least two inches from a floor;
at least one bracket fastened to the housing;
a vertically-moveable column mounted inside the housing;
a work surface attached to a top surface of the column; and
a motor secured to the housing, the motor capable of vertically adjusting the work surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the motor further comprises at least two operational switches, and moves the column vertically only when at least two of the operational switches are engaged simultaneously.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface further comprises an interface for at least one of the following capabilities: computer networking, docking, telephone and electrical power.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface is movable along an axis in a horizontal plane.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface is rotatable in a horizontal plane.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface is movable along an axis in a horizontal plane and rotatable in the horizontal plane.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface forms an angle with the column, the angle being adjustable through a range of 0 through 90 degrees.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the housing has a length not more than 22.25 inches.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 wherein the work station comprises a first bracket attached to a first portion of the housing, and a second bracket attached to a second portion of the housing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The work station of claim 1 further comprising an antimicrobial coating on the work surface.

### Claim 11

A work station comprising:
a housing fully supported by a wall;
at least one bracket fastened to a portion of the housing and to the wall;
a vertically-moveable column mounted inside the housing;
a motor for moving the column vertically within the housing; and
a work surface mounted to a top surface of the column.

### Claim 12 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the motor further comprises at least two operational switches, and the motor moves the column vertically only when at least two of the operational switches are engaged simultaneously.

### Claim 13 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work surface further comprises an interface for at least one of the following capabilities: computer networking, docking, telephone and electrical power.

### Claim 14 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work surface is movable along an axis in a horizontal plane.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work surface is rotatable in a horizontal plane.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work surface is moveable along an axis in a horizontal plane and rotatable in the horizontal plane.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work surface forms an angle with the column and the angle is adjustable through a range of 0 through 90 degrees.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the housing has a length not more than 22.25 inches.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The work station of claim 14 wherein the work station contains a first bracket attached to a first portion of the housing and to the wall, and a second bracket attached to a second portion of the housing and to the wall.

### Claim 20 (depends on 14)
