  • Patent number: 9560913
    Abstract: The operator desk includes at least one work top having one main work surface with a longitudinal main extension. The work top is attached by at least one leg arrangement extending between the desk top and a base foundation; at least one first set of display monitors arranged on a mount supported by at least two supporting legs and having one lower side facing towards, and one upper side facing away from the base foundation. The supporting legs with adhering first set of monitors are movable along a first extension. The operator desk further includes at least one light-emitting element contained in a casing attached to the upper side by at least one mounting arm. A central control device adjusts the mounting arm so that the light-emitting element maintains a desired position along the first extension when the supporting legs with adhering display monitors are moved along the first extension.
