Abstract
The invention relates to a computer terminal station constituted by an input device and by an output device, both devices being separate one from the other. According to the invention, the station comprises a support for the device 2 constituted by a column mounted for sliding along its axis in a stand, and for rotation about its axis with respect to said stand, the top part of the said column being provided with a console mounted to pivot about an inclinable axis for the output device whereas between the column and the stand are provided means for their axial immobilization in relative rotation and whereas between the column and the console are provided means for adjusting the inclination of the console.
Claims12
A terminal station for the input and output of data issued from and directed to a central processor, such as a computer for example, constituted by a hand-operated input device of the keyboard type and by an output device which the operator can read over, the input and output devices being separate one from the other, comprising a vertically stationary support for the said input device and a support for the said output device, wherein the support for the said output device comprises a platform connected to a mechanism for adjusting its height and its inclination, which mechanism is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis in a lower base with means for immobilizing it in rotation in said base, the main part of said platform being excentered in a horizontal projection with respect to said vertical axis and wherein:
- the support for the said input device comprises a jamb, fast with a part of the said mechanism which is only rotatable with respect to the said base, shaped at its upper part into a console supporting a horizontal panel cut so as to surround at least part of the said platform and to be substantially inscribed in a circle centered on said vertical axis and surrounding the support for the output device.
A terminal station for a computer having an input device and a separate output device, said station comprising:
- a base;
- a horizontal panel on said base for supporting said input device and including a cut-out portion, said panel being rotatably movable relative to said base about a first vertical axis;
- a platform on said base for supporting said output device and disposed within said cut-out portion, said platform being rotatably movable with said panel relative to said base about said first vertical axis, said platform being further vertically movable and tiltably movable relative to said panel on a second vertical axis horizontally displaced from said first vertical axis;
- and means for releasably securing said panel and said platform in positions into which they are moved.
