Apparatus for mounting a plurality of monitors having adjustable distance to a viewer

A computer monitor mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of monitors, comprising:

• a plurality of monitors;
• a platform having at least one guide attached thereto, wherein the guide also contacts an upwardly facing surface so that the guide maintains the platform on a predetermined path along the upwardly facing surface positioned below the platform when the platform moves on the upwardly facing surface, the platform including a plurality of spaced apart subplatforms, wherein the at least one guide (i) includes portions that move relative to one another within a space between the upwardly facing surface and the subplatforms, (ii) includes a portion that is fixedly attached to the upward facing surface, and (iii) telescopes during movement of the monitor mounting apparatus over the upwardly facing surface;
• a frame extending above the platform and attached thereto for moving with the platform when the platform moves along the predetermined path, the frame providing mountings supporting the plurality of the monitors above the platform;
• one or more wheels or rollers for rolling the platform on the upwardly facing surface, wherein the wheels or rollers move over the upwardly facing surface for at least a portion of a travel extent for the wheels or rollers, each wheel or roller having an extent that rotatably contacts the upwardly facing surface when the platform moves along the predetermined path;
• and
• a connector for connecting the subplatforms together, wherein the connector provides an interior that is:
• (i) between at least two of the subplatforms, and (ii) between an upper boundary of the interior and the upwardly facing surface,
• wherein the interior provides storage space on the upwardly facing surface, the interior having a height above the upwardly facing surface of at least three times a height of the space between the upwardly facing surface and the subplatforms, wherein the interior is effective for storing one or more items without interfering with movement of the platform on the predetermined path,
• wherein the frame comprises a substantially horizontal lower rail and first and second vertical post segments, the substantially horizontal lower rail having a depth of about 40 millimeters and a height of about 80 millimeters, the first vertical post segment having a height of about 8.75″ and interconnecting into a bottom channel of the substantially horizontal lower rail, the second vertical post segment interconnecting into a bottom channel of the substantially horizontal lower rail, said second vertical post segment having a height of about 20″ and a first mounting affixed thereto, the first mounting supporting one of the plurality of monitors at a height of about 17.5″ above the platform.
