Abstract

The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to computer tables (1). In particular computer tables capable of automatically adjusting to accommodate the requirements of an individual user. Preferred embodiments of the present invention may have a number of advantages over the prior art which can include: automatic alteration of the height of a computer table support surface (5) relative to a rest surface (6); and/or the height of a support bracket (15) relative to the computer table support surface; so as to accord to a use's preferred height settings when the user enters identifier information into an associated programmable logic unit.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to computer tables. In particular, computer tables capable of automatically adjusting to accommodate the requirements of an individual user.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In recent times there is an overall trend towards people spending longer sedentary hours in front of a computer for either recreational use and / or business use. Incorrect posture when sitting at a computer table for extended periods, such as in a workplace when working at a computer or other equipment, can lead to problems in a persons comfort, productivity and health.[0003]Health problems can include repetitive strain injuries (RSI) or poor posture injuries. Such health problems can increase the amount of sick days taken by a worker, which can indirectly affect an employer's costs through decreased productivity.[0004]Many employees in today's workplaces work flexible hours with can result in more than one person working at a particular worksta...
