ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention refers to computers in general, and to work stations therefor, in particular.
BACKGROUND ART
In recent years more and more people spend an increasing amount of time in front of computers, either professionally or as Internet users. In order to meet the needs of this growing market, extensive thought has been given to devise convenient, space-saving stations or centers that will make user's position in front of the computer more comfortable and less tiresome. Such prior art is disclosed, for instance, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,915,450 and the references cited therein. These work station systems were, however, designed primarily for professional users, at offices, rather than for domestic environments.
It is thus the major object of the present invention to provide a low-cost, furniture-piece like, modular computer work station, that will present the required features mainly for the benefit of the users.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
There is thus provided, according to the invention present, a computer work station including a user's seat and a monitor supporting tray positioned in front of the seat, comprising a first chassis unit having a first base, an elongated seat supporting member, and first varying means for varying the location of the seat along the seat supporting member between a relatively reclining position and a relatively upright position, a second chassis unit having a second base, an elongated monitor supporting member, and second varying means for varying the location of the monitor supporting tray between an uppermost position and a lowermost position, and coupling means for coupling the seat to the monitor supporting tray so that displacement of the seat toward the relatively reclining position results in the displacement of the monitor supporting tray toward the uppermost position, and displacement of the seat toward the relatively upright position results in the displacement of the monitor supporting tray toward the lowermost position.
