Abstract (en)

A work station comprising a work surface (3) and a support for the work surface (2) has a mechanism (1) to enable the work surface (3) to be raised before being slid away from its normal position. The sliding of the work surface (3) is desirable to allow access to the area just below the work surface which may contain a cable management system. The raising of the work surface (3) before sliding allows the work surface (3) to be slid above the level of other objects, such as adjoining work surfaces, which could otherwise obstruct the sliding motion. While being raised and slid the work surface remains substantially horizontal, mitigating the need to clear it before moving it. <IMAGE>
