Abstract
This invention provides an adjustable canopy system for a workspace that includes a perimeter frame that exerts tension on a fabric piece, and defines illustratively, an ovular outline shape. The fabric piece can include a central/spine rod that is external, or internal of the fabric, so as to define a V-shaped cross section. The canopy element is mounted on an arm assembly so that it rotates to adjust tilt. The arm assembly also includes a multi-dimensional joint that allows for motion in a plurality of degrees of freedom. Illustratively, the multi-dimensional joint exerts selectable holding friction that retains the joint at a predetermined orientation, but allows movement under appropriate biasing force by a user. The multi-dimensional joint is mounted on the end of an upright. A base clamp is mounted with respect to a slot/groove or on an edge of the desktop.
