Abstract
A computer work station for use with a computer system includes two sections, a front section and a rear section, pivotably connected about an exterior pivot axis. The rear section includes shelves for supporting some components of the computer system, such as the CPU, display monitor, keyboard and modem. A keyboard shelf is slidably disposed within the rear section, while other shelves are fixedly mounted therewithin. A common power strip is disposed between two of the shelves of the rear section for providing a single connection of at least some of the components of the computer system to an exterior power source. The front section includes a front panel which extends substantially the entire height of the computer work station, and includes a cork strip for posting memoranda and the like thereon. The front section further includes shelves for supporting other components of the computer system, such as a printer and its associated box of paper. None of the shelves extend the complete depth of the computer work station, so that cords used to connect the various components of the computer system may be conveniently placed therebehind. The computer work station also includes fasteners for supporting such cords between the front and rear sections. The front and rear sections are shaped complementarily with respect to each other, so that, when the computer work station is in a closed position, the two sections together form a substantially enclosed object.
