OPERATOR WORK STATION HAVING A MONITOR SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

摘要

OPERATOR WORK STATION HAVING A MONITOR SUPPORT ASSEMBLY An operator work station defined by a wall having a support assembly for mounting a monitor within a housing within an opening in the wall, the support assembly enabling the monitor to have four degrees of freedom. The support assembly includes a counterbalanced horizontal bar slidably disposed in the opening parallel to the wall for enabling the monitor to be raised and lowered parallel to the wall. Bearing rigidly secured to the bar receive rods rigidly secured to a horizontal plate, the movement of which enables the monitor to be moved perpendicular to the wall. A shaped plate pivotally connected between the horizontal plate and the housing enables the monitor to rotate about a vertical axis. Such rotation is limited by posts rigidly secured to the bar which engage the sides of the shaped plate when the shaped plate is rotated with respect to the wall. A shutter pivotally mounted within the housing for rotation around a horizontal axis has upper and lower arc-shaped panels which frictionally engage the upper and lower plates of the housing to enable the monitor to rotate around the horizontal axis to adjust the tilt of the monitor.
