Display monitor position adjustment apparatus
First Claim
1. A display device position adjusting apparatus, which comprises:
- a. a table support structure defining a horizontal surface member and a plurality of vertical support members fixed to the horizontal surface, the horizontal surface member having an opening sufficiently large that the display device can fit inside the opening and moved in a multiplicity of orientations;
b. means for adjusting the display device through a large range of orientations, wherein the adjusting means is attached to the table support structure, such that the display device can be adjusted to position well above and below the table support structure horizontal surface an can be locked into a fixed position, and wherein the adjusting means provides;
(1) a front reversible motor connected to a display elevation linkage means and front display hinge, for elevation adjustment, and(2) a rear reversible motor connected to a display inclination linkage means and rear hinge, for inclination rotation adjustment, wherein each linkage means is connected to the to a display device cradle in which the display device sits;
c. said table support structure being suitable for a computer desk, capable of supporting computer related devices; and
d. said adjusting means may be comprised of a plurality of electrical and mechanical adjustment means.

Abstract
A man-computer-man communications system, including a computer workstation (10), which is comprised of a display device (22), graphic tablet (18), stylus (14), and computer unit (24), where the physical orientation of the display device screen (16) is made adjustable in inclination angle, azimuth angle, and elevation height. The active area of the graphic tablet is a transparent surface area (18), which is coincident to the display screen and is approximately the same size as the display screen. The graphic tablet device may include active or passive stylus (14). A keyboard unit (12) and telephone unit (28) may be added to the workstation. An external communications system may be added to transmit and receive data to or from remote computers or other workstations. The display screen angle can be adjusted to inclination angles between horizontal and vertical orientations. The computer unit (24) controls the operation of the workstation and external communications.

4. A system, which comprises:
-
a. a Cathode Ray tube (CRT) display; b. means for encoding the position of stylus or pen over an encoding area, wherein the encoding means is interfaced to the CRT display for control, such that when the stylus is moved over the encoding area, the position of the stylus is encoded into a continuous stream of electrical signals; c. a table support structure defining a horizontal surface member and a plurality of vertical support members fixed to the horizontal surface, the horizontal surface member having an opening sufficiently large that the CRT display can fit inside the opening and moved in a multiplicity of orientations; d. means for adjusting the CRT display through a large range of orientations, wherein the adjusting means is attached to the table support structure, such that the CRT display can be adjusted to position well above and below the table support structure horizontal surface and can be locked into a fixed position, and wherein the adjusting means provides; (1) a front reversible motor connected to a display elevation linkage means and front display hinge, for elevation adjustment, and (2) a rear reversible motor connected to a display inclination linkage means and rear hinge, for inclination rotation adjustment, wherein each linkage means is connected to the to a display device cradle in which the display device sits; e. said table support structure being suitable for a computer desk, capable of supporting computer related devices; and f. said adjusting means may be comprised of a plurality of electrical and mechanical adjustment means.
