The present invention is directed to office panelling systems and, in particular, an office panelling system wherein a flat electronic display screen is incorporated within or directly supported by an office panel, with the display screen visible to one side of the panel. The office panel with the display screen located therein greatly enhances the amount of work space available at an associated work station, which otherwise would have a CRT supported on the work surface. The depth of the work surface can be cut down if the work station is primarily used for a dedicated data entry station or computer work station. In other cases, the computer monitor screen is a flat thin profile screen mounted on an adjustable arm supported at a position adjacent the panel whereby the spacing of the screen from the panel is adjustable by varying the effective length of the arm.
In an office panelling system having a number of interconnected panels used to subdivide an office space with the panels being less than 5 inches in thickness, an adjustably mounted flat electronic display having an adjustable securing arm secured to a mounting rail of one of said panels, said adjustable securing arm accommodating variable positioning of said display screen in front of the panel to which the securing arm is attached, said securing arm and display screen being movable from a storage position with said display screen generally flat against said panel to a forward operating position in front of and variably separated from said panel.
In an office panelling system having a multiplicity of discrete office panels interconnected to subdivide an open area in a particular manner and a work surface immediately in front of one of said panels, said one panel and said work surface cooperating to define a work station including a thin profile display monitor and a keyboard, said display monitor being supported in a cantilevered manner by an adjustable securing arm attached adjacent said panel above said work surface, said securing arm and said screen cooperating to position said screen at any position between a storage position adjacent said panel to a forward position in front of said panel and above said work surface whereby an operator may freely adjust the position of said display monitor to a desired operating position and return the display monitor to a storage position immediately adjacent the panel to allow additional work surface utilization for other tasks when said display monitor is in the storage position.
An adjustably mounted electronic display screen arrangement comprising:
