Abstract: A knock-down trader desk including a frame having at least two upright frame members and at least two horizontal beams. The beams releasably interconnect the upright frame members to form a freestanding knock-down rigid frame. A plurality of vertically oriented panels are attached to the rigid frame to define a storage area within the rigid frame. The trader desk includes at least three worksurfaces including a pair of outer worksurfaces defining two opposed user accessible elongate edges. The trader desk also includes at least one central worksurface positioned above the storage area and between the outer worksurfaces. The worksurfaces are engagable with the frame at a plurality of heights whereby the worksurfaces are selectively positionable at a plurality of heights. At least one access opening is provided for passing cables from the storage area to an upper surface of the central worksurface.

Abstract: A data display terminal comprises a flat display panel assembly pivotably secured to a base by means of a friction sleeve and a torsion spring so that the display panel assembly can be pivoted with respect to said base and can be held at any selected angular position.

Abstract: A support mechanism for raising and lowering a terminal monitor comprising an upper assembly and a lower assembly and a plurality of pivotable arms interconnecting the upper assembly and lower assembly. The upper assembly includes an upper plate, which supports the monitor, and an upper slidable plate slidably coupled to it, and the lower assembly includes a base plate and a lower slidable plate slidably coupled to it. Due to the way the pivotable arms are coupled to the various plates, when the upper slidable plate is driven with respect to its associated upper plate, the arms pivot either to raise or lower the upper assembly and its monitor load with respect to the lower assembly.
