Abstract: The utility workstation selectively positions a suspended workpiece before a typically seated operator. It is height adjustable and accepts various types of holding and support attachments that allow various kinds of workpieces to be positioned at various angles and rotations. It provides local light and magnifier sources as well as display and storage options for tools and supplies useful for working with a workpiece. It allows a workpiece to be moved laterally from a fully retracted position, where the workpiece is out of the way of someone getting out of or into his or her seat, to a working position, where the workpiece is suspended at a preferred location and orientation before the operator. It is designed to be operated from the left side or right side of a chair, easy chair, stool, couch, or other type of seating means.
