Abstract:
1. An adjustable support assembly for attachment to a work surface to support a data entry/interface device, said support assembly comprising: a data entry/interface mount; a work surface mount; a linkage assembly connected to the data entry/interface mount and to the work surface mount; and an adjustment assembly comprising a releasable brake assembly adapted to permit selective adjustment of the height of the data entry/interface mount relative to the work surface mount wherein when the brake assembly is in a clamping position it does not resist upward movement of the data entry/interface mount but prevents downward movement thereof, and when the brake assembly is in a release position it permits downward movement of the data entry/interface mount, wherein the releasable brake assembly further comprises a slide bar which engages an aperture in a brake plate member with the brake plate member being movable from the clamping position to the release position of the slide bar upon upward tilting of a leading edge of the data entry/interface mount.
