Abstract:

The present invention comprises a computer support stand that rests upon a support surface and provides a front deck that can support a computer display monitor, a keyboard and a mouse pad that can be easily and quickly raised or lowered manually by a computer operator. The front deck is slidably coupled to two vertical support posts. Brake-release side levers encased by elastomeric boots release spring-loaded brake means that secure the front deck to the vertical support posts. Cable and pulley means attach the front deck to a horizontally disposed rear counterbalance tray that is likewise slidably coupled to the vertical support posts. The rear tray provides a support surface for a computer system case and computer accessories that substantially counterbalances the combined weight of the front deck, display monitor, keyboard and mouse pad.
