Abstract:
1. A tool as a means, for lifting, relocating, rotating, and holding a commercially available flat-panel display and other associated personal computer system components in any typical computer operator's optimal viewing and reaching positions, as are necessary to suit the working requirements of said typical computer operator in all computer operator posture positions ranging from sitting upright to fully reclined with face up, and comprising: (1) a base frame providing overall footprint stability and necessary connecting points for the following structural components, (2) a radial arm which is able to rotate in a plane about a fulcrum point in said base frame, (3) a motorized extendable strut connected at one end to said base frame and connected at another end to said radial arm as a means to vary and set a rotational position of said radial arm, (4) a sliding cantilever arm assembly able to slide along, and be positioned on, said radial arm as a means to locate and carry, (5) a monitor platform capable of angular trim rotational movement and sturdy enough to accept those gravity and other dynamic forces incurred by fastening said commercially available flat-panel display to it, (6) a trim adjustment link as a means to trim adjust the angle of said monitor platform and attached said commercially available flat-panel display, to the desired optimal viewing angle of said typical computer operator, regardless of whether said typical computer operator chooses to work in the seated upright, semi-reclined or fully reclined position, (7) a cpu shelf linked at one end to a shelf leg via a first hinge, the shelf leg being connected to said base frame, and linked at another end to said radial arm via a second hinge, in such a way as to keep said personal computer system components within ergonomic reach of said typical computer operator, regardless of whether said typical computer operator chooses to work in the seated upright, semi-reclined, or fully reclined position, whereby said tool is able to lift and position ergonomically any and all said personal computer components to any desired position as is necessary for optimal screen viewing and other said personal computer component manual manipulation by said typical computer operator while working in any upright seated, through to, any fully reclined head, neck and back supported bodily positions.
