Arrangement of the equipment at a computer workstation

The invention relates to an arrangement of the apparatus at a screen workstation, which apart from the screen device contains a corresponding freely movable keyboard and as a multi-function terminal (multi-function terminal MPT) is trained.

A high level of concentration is required from people who work at computer workstations, and it is known that in the case of poorly designed VDU workstations, this quickly causes symptoms of fatigue and performance degradation can occur. Tom Main Association of Commercial Employers' Liability Insurance Associations, Central Office for Accident Prevention and Occupational Medicine, Bonn, is therefore a brochure (1) with the title:

Safety rules for screen workstations in the office areaj edition 10.1980 has been published, in which Regulations and recommendations for optimal design of VDU workstations are specified. In addition, under the title: VDU workstations (2) A comprehensive study published by Springer-Verlag in 1980, in which detailed information on the technical and human conditions and problems at a computer workstation is reported.

Particular importance is given in both literature references (ab-

section 4.6 from page ίβ in 1 and chapter "4 in 2 from page 53) measured according to the dimensions and design of the work table. It becomes adjustable for convenience Tables pointed out (page 17 in 1 and page 163 in 2) to make the people working on them pleasant To create conditions. In addition, as shown in Figure 4, point on page 163 in 2, special, often expensive table constructions are required that do not always include a allow normal desk work under favorable conditions. Since the screen device is relatively large, it works Much of the existing work surface of a table is lost when the device is placed directly on the table surface or is otherwise inconveniently attached. When desk work like writing or If drawing drafts are to be created in addition to the screen activity, there is a special work table for this necessary because there is not enough work surface or storage space left on the monitor table. This will takes up additional space in an office.

The object of the invention is to propose the arrangement of the equipment at a computer workstation so that that no particularly complex furniture constructions: become necessary, and in addition to screen work, normal desk work at the screen workstation can be carried out.

This problem is solved by the fact that an am rear edge of a work surface attachable holding device is provided, which free the screen device located above the work surface, can be swiveled.

With this arrangement it is achieved in an advantageous manner that almost the entire surface of a work table . remains free for drawing or writing work. The space under the screen can be used for storage of work equipment or other devices.

The further developments of the specified in the subclaims

Invention see τογ that "the B'iidiBchfrmgerät itself in can be rotated and swiveled in all possible positions, so that it is the respective working conditions and -require! ssen can be optimally adapted. Farther it is provided that the keyboard works wirelessly on a receiver attached to the screen device, so that it can also be removed temporarily from the work surface without further ado. So that's one more greater freedom of movement than is possible with keyboards connected via cables.

An embodiment of the invention is described below explained in more detail with reference to drawings.

* It shows Pig. 1 the side view of a screen work

place

Pig. 2 the front view of the computer workstation

In Fig. 1 it is shown how a holding device HV is attached to the rear edge of a work surface AP, which the display device BG picks up. A pivot point is indicated on the holding device HV, around which the Screen device BG is adjustable in its inclination.

* The incline of the BS screen itself can also be adjusted. With one in Pig. 2 indicated crank on the holding device HV, the screen device can also be adjusted in height, ie in its distance from the work surface AP. There is also the possibility of rotating the display device BG around the vertical axis of the holding device by means of the holding device. In doing so, if necessary; the space above the work surface AP can also be left.

It is also provided that a flexibly attached receiver is attached to the outside of the screen device, and that the receiver is wireless sending keyboard receives signals sent. This makes it possible despite different positions of the display device the keyboard T independently

always to be arranged in such a way that the signals are more favorable is guaranteed. The keyboard T is also a storage compartment P provided, which is on the side of the work table or on any, but easily accessible Place outside the workbench. This storage compartment can be equipped with a power supply connection be, via which a battery located in the keyboard housing can be charged. To complete of the screen workstation, a template holder VH is attached to the side of the screen device, the enables convenient reading or comparison of all kinds of information.
