First Claim
Patent Images
1. An operator workstation comprising:
- a base;
a worksurface;
left and right support members coupled to said base and supporting said worksurface, wherein said support members have a substantially triangular shape with a vertex thereof disposed at said base; and
an operator interface panel positioned below a pivotally mounted flat-panel display unit, said panel extending upward from said worksurface and forming an obtuse angle therewith.

Abstract
An operator workstation has a worksurface and left and right upper support members extending upward from the worksurface. Multiple flat-panel display units are mounted between the support members above the level of the worksurface. The displays are mounted above one another, between the support members. Lower support members support the workstation in connection with a base mounted between the lower support members. The base has a substantially triangular cross-section, while the lower support members have a substantially triangular shape.
