Abstract
The adjustable stand has lower and upper components spaced vertically apart. The upper component supports a monitor of a computer and is movable upwardly and downwardly relative to the lower component while the lower component remains fixed in position. An operator of the computer can accordingly adjust the monitor to eye-level whether the operator is standing or is seated. A platform supports a keyboard and is movable with the upper component. The level of the platform may be adjusted selectively upwardly and downwardly relative to the upper component.
Claims10
An adjustable stand for a monitor and a keyboard of a computer, said stand having lower and upper components, an upper component adapted to support said monitor;
- means for causing said upper component to move selectively upwardly and downwardly relative to said lower component;
- a platform positioned at a level beneath said upper component and adapted to support said keyboard horizontally at a level beneath the level at which said upper component supports said monitor, said platform being movable with said upper component;
- and means for causing said platform, while remaining horizontal, to move selectively vertically upwardly and downwardly relative to said upper component, wherein said means for causing said upper component to move includes first and second pivotally interconnected arms, said first arm being pivotal relative to said lower component and slidable relative to said upper component while said second arm is slidable relative to said lower component and pivotal relative to said upper component, and means for selectively causing one of said arms to slide relative to whichever of said components said arm is slidable.
An adjustable stand for a monitor and a keyboard of a computer, said stand having lower and upper components, an upper component adapted to support said monitor;
- means for causing said upper component to move selectively upwardly and downwardly relative to said lower component;
- a platform positioned at a level beneath said upper component and adapted to support said keyboard horizontally at a level beneath the level at which said upper component supports said monitor, said platform being movable with said upper component;
- and means for causing said platform, while remaining horizontal, to move selectively vertically upwardly and downwardly relative to said upper component, wherein said means for causing said upper movement to move includes two pairs of spaced apart first and second pivotally interconnected arms, said first arm in each said pair being pivotal relative to said lower component and slidable relative to said upper component while said second arm in each said pair is slidable relative to said lower component and pivotable relative to said upper component, and means for selectively causing one of said arms in each said pair to slide relative to whichever of said components said one arm is slideable.
An adjustable stand for a monitor and a keyboard of a computer, said stand having lower and upper components, an upper component adapted to support said monitor;
- means for causing said upper component to move selectively upwardly and downwardly relative to said lower component;
- a platform positioned at a level beneath said upper component and adapted to support said keyboard horizontally at a level beneath the level at which said upper component supports said monitor, said platform being movable with said upper component;
- and means for causing said platform, while remaining horizontal, to move selectively vertically upwardly and downwardly relative to said upper component, wherein said upper component includes a downwardly extending front wall and said platform includes a horizontal wall and an upwardly extending rear wall, said rear wall being mounted for sliding upwardly and downwardly on said front wall, said front and rear walls being oriented such that as said rear wall slides upwardly and downwardly as aforesaid, said horizontal wall remains horizontal, said platform including means for selectively immobilizing said rear wall relative to said front wall.
