  • Patent number: 5896817
    Abstract: A computer desk with a fixed or variable angle sloping works surface. The desk includes four legs, preferably telescoping to provide variable desk height, secured to a table top. A work surface panel is secured to the table top at an angle of from about 30 to 60.degree.. Cut-outs are provided in the panel for receiving a computer monitor and, if desired, other components. A number of horizontal bar-like rails are secured to the panel for preventing items such as papers, files, components such as keyboards, from sliding down the panel and keeping the items readily visible and within easy reach. Optimally, horizontal inverted "T" cross section slots cooperated with inverted "T" cross section on the rails. Various platforms for other components, such as a mouse pad, may be secured to the panel in the same manner as the rails.
