ABSTRACT:
A mounting stand for a cathode ray tube display screen and a keyboard work station includes a base having a screen platform mounted between two sides. A fixed copy support surface is also mounted between the two sides in front of the screen platform and is inclined downwardly. A movable copy support surface is hingedly mounted to the fixed copy support surface for moving between a use position and a nonuse position. In the use position, the copy support surface is at substantially the same angle of inclination as the fixed copy support surface so that a substantially continuous supporting surface is provided for copy material. In the nonuse position, the movable copy support surface is angled with respect to the fixed copy support surface. A suitable mechanism is provided for holding the movable copy support surface in the use position with the keyboard in front of the movable copy support surface during use. Preferably, the mounting stand includes a keyboard platform which is movably mounted to the base for horizontal movement in one embodiment and for horizontal and vertical movement in another embodiment between a use and a storage position. In the storage position, the keyboard platform is located within the base with the movable copy support surface in the nonuse position covering a portion of the keyboard platform. In the preferred embodiment, a caming mechanism is used to move the movable copy support surface between the two positions.
