Computer workstation

A computer workstation for computer-aided design using a computer, a monitor, a keyboard and a digitizer pad comprising:

• a main support frame;
• a monitor supporting means;
• means for connecting the monitor supporting means to the main support frame and allowing and limiting adjustment of the position of the monitor supporting means relative to the main support frame in fore and aft directions;
• digitizer pad supporting means having a pad supporting surface;
• keyboard supporting means having a keyboard supporting surface;
• secondary frame means for connecting said digitizer pad supportin means and said keyboard supporting means together with the keyboard supporting surface below the level of the lowermost part of the pad supporting surface;
• and
• means for connecting the secondary frame means to the main support frame, allowing and limiting adjustment of the secondary frame means relative to the main support frame in fore and aft directions and allowing and limiting tilting of the secondary frame means about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the fore and aft directions;
• in which the secondary frame means includes means for allowing and limiting fore and aft relative sliding movement of the digitizer pad supporting means and the keyboard supporting means.
