Computer Tables
First Claim
1. A computer table having a support surface, the computer table comprising:
- at least one actuator capable of altering the height of the support surface relative to a rest surface on which the table rests;
wherein the table is configured so as to enable said at least one actuator to alter the height of the support surface relative to the rest surface, and wherein said at least one actuator is configured to be operated by a programmable logic unit which is configured to;
(a) store a user'"'"'s preferred height for the support surface;
(b) receive information from a data input device as to the user of the table and compare to the previous support surface height settings; and
,(c) operate said at least one actuator to adjust the height of the support surface relative to a rest surface, to the preferred height of the user.

Abstract
The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to computer tables (1). In particular computer tables capable of automatically adjusting to accommodate the requirements of an individual user. Preferred embodiments of the present invention may have a number of advantages over the prior art which can include: automatic alteration of the height of a computer table support surface (5) relative to a rest surface (6); and/or the height of a support bracket (15) relative to the computer table support surface; so as to accord to a use'"'"'s preferred height settings when the user enters identifier information into an associated programmable logic unit.

2. A computer table having a support surface, the computer table comprising:
-
at least one first actuator capable of altering the height of the support surface relative to a rest surface on which the table rests; a second actuator capable of altering the height of a support bracket relative to the support surface, wherein the table is configured to enable; the at least one first actuator to alter the height of the support surface relative to a rest surface; and the second actuator to alter the height of the support bracket relative to the support surface; and wherein the at least one first actuator and the second actuator are configured to be operated by a programmable logic unit which is configured to; (a) store a user'"'"'s preferred height for the support surface and support bracket; (b) receive information from a data input device as to the user of the table and compare to the previous height settings of the support surface and support bracket, and, (c) operate the actuators to adjust the height of; the support surface relative to a rest surface; and support bracket relative to the support surface; to the preferred height of the user. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
