ABSTRACT:
A computer workstation is formed in the shape of a desk and has an extendible and retractable keyboard shelf and an inclined adjustable monitor supporting shelf. The workstation has a flat desktop surface, which has a door formed in it. When the keyboard shelf is extended, the door automatically rotates upward. When the keyboard shelf is fully extended, the open door fully reveals the screen of the computer monitor mounted on the monitor supporting shelf. When the keyboard shelf is retracted, the door automatically closes, returning the desktop surface to its normal flat shape. Two pivotable linkage arms are mounted to the desktop surface at each side of the door, and each have one end that passes through a slotted plate fixed to the keyboard shelf and another end that engages the underside of the door. Extending the keyboard shelf causes the linkage arms to rotate and cam the door open. Retracting the keyboard shelf causes the linkage arms to rotate in an opposite direction and allow the door to close through the force of gravity.
