Computer workstation

Abstract

A computer workstation has a substantially horizontal work surface, a support member positioned at an angle from a plane defined by the horizontal work surface, a wire management tray adjacent a rear edge of the support member, and a restraining member for securing at least one computer component to the support member.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A computer workstation comprising 
 at least one substantially horizontal work surface;    at least one support member positioned at an angle from a plane defined by the horizontal work surface;    at least one wire management tray adjacent a rear edge of the support member; and    at least one restraining member for securing a computer component to the support member.    
     
     
         2 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein at least one accessory support is positioned on the support member, the accessory support having a planar surface which is substantially in a planar relationship with the plane defined by at least one horizontal work surface.  
     
     
         3 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein at least one accessory support insert is removably mounted to the support member, the accessory support insert having a top surface supported by a first leg having a first length, the first leg being positioned on a first edge of the support member that is adjacent the horizontal work surface, the accessory support having a second leg in an opposed relationship to the first leg, the second leg having a length greater than the first leg, the second leg being positioned on the rear edge of the support member that is in opposed relationship to the first edge of the support member.  
     
     
         4 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the support member defines at least one opening to receive wires from one or more computer components.  
     
     
         5 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein a first edge of the support member is about 6 inches below the horizontal work surface.  
     
     
         6 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the support member is positioned at an angle from about 12° to about 18° from the plane defined by the horizontal work surface.  
     
     
         7 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the support member has a non-skid matte surface.  
     
     
         8 . The workstation of  claim 1 , including at least one leg having a height that allows an end user to sit while using the workstation.  
     
     
         9 . The workstation of  claim 1 , including at least one leg having a height that allows an end user to stand while using the workstation.  
     
     
         10 . The workstation of  claim 1 , having multiple support members to accommodate multiple computer peripherals.  
     
     
         11 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the workstation is capable of being assembled by an end user.  
     
     
         12 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the workstation is at least partially comprised of a suitable metal material.
