Abstract: A computer workstation has a rectangular desktop with an opening in it. A locking lid fills the opening when the desk is closed, thus leaving a reasonably solid and smooth desktop. When the locking lid is released, gas springs under pressure push a platform (connection at right angles to the lid) causing both to rotate on a continuous hinge until the platform becomes level with the desktop and the lid is perpendicular to the desktop. Attached to the platform is a computer, which now is in a level position in front of the operator. By applying minimal downward pressure, the computer, platform, and lid return to the closed position. A keyboard tray, located in the center of the workstation and below the front edge of the desktop, can be used in the retracted position for learning touch-typing or extended for typing with the keyboard visible. A lockable door in the front of the workstation covers the inner area where the computer hangs on the platform when in the closed position.
