Abstract
A workstation is disclosed. The workstation includes a tabletop or desktop having a work surface assembly that has a base structure, a cover member, and a brake assembly. The cover member is supported by the base structure and defines a work surface arranged at an inclination relative to a horizontal surface. The cover member is adapted to slide relative to the base structure between an extended position and a retracted position. Moreover, the brake assembly is adapted to prevent the sliding of the cover member relative to base structure and holds the cover member stationary with the base structure.

A workstation comprising:
- a tabletop having a tabletop surface and a work surface assembly, the work surface assembly including
- a base structure having a bottom plate;
- a cover member supported by the base structure and defining a work surface arranged at an inclination relative to the tabletop surface, the cover member is adapted to slide relative to the base structure between an extended position and a retracted position;
- and
- a brake assembly adapted to selectively prevent the cover member from sliding relative to base structure and hold the cover member stationary with the base structure at any position between the extended position and the retracted position.
A work surface assembly for placement on a tabletop, the work surface assembly comprising:
- a base structure having a bottom plate;
- a cover member supported by the base structure and defining a work surface arranged at an inclination relative to the tabletop surface, the cover member is adapted to slide relative to the base structure between an extended position and a retracted position;
- and
- a brake assembly adapted to selectively prevent the cover member from sliding relative to base structure and hold the cover member stationary with the base structure at any position between the extended position and the retracted position.
