Abstract
A mobile personal computer station having an upper table top 32 to which is attached a computer 14 being connected to a lower docking station 28 by multiple extendable legs 30. The purpose of the present invention 10 is to provide a computer control wheeled structure that can move about as the user 12 chooses. The upper tabletop 32 also has attached thereto a rotatable camera which can be mounted in a plurality of cable and accessory management apertures 40 which are spaced about the tabletop. The lower docking station 28 is provided with wheels 24, 26 and is electrically driven by drive wheels 26 which are controlled by a computer. The camera rotator mechanism is also computer controlled and comprises a transceiver integrated circuit 82, a motor 84, a worm gear 86, a drive transfer gear 88, a drive shaft 90 and a rotative coupling post 60 which attaches the camera rotating mechanism to the tabletop 32. A camera platform 92 and camera locking screw 94 are provided for attaching a camera thereto. The docking station 28 is-provided with storage compartments 44 and a hardware port 53 whereupon a computer and related hardware can be placed. The lower mobile unit 54 comprises an integrated circuit housing 68, a mobilizer CPU 120, a clutch-driven motor 62, a plurality of shock absorbers 56, a servomotor drive motor control mechanism 128, a drive shaft 118, a drive gear 64, a differential gear 66, drive wheels 26 and castor wheels 24 and a plurality of electrical wiring and contacts 72.
