Abstract
A work station suitable for mounting electrical and/or communication equipment including a straight, elongate hollow support beam of rectangular cross-section. Hollow support legs mount the beam in a horizontal position above a floor. Support brackets are detachably connected to one or both sides of the beam and these brackets include vertical leg portions that are bolted to the side of the beam and further arm portions that extend outwardly and upwardly. Rigid work surfaces are mounted on outer sections of the outwardly and upwardly extending arm portions. The work surfaces are positioned horizontally away from and above the top of the support beam. A housing can be provided to mount display and key pad equipment on the beam side of the work surface so that a lower portion of the display and key pad equipment is positioned below a horizontal plane defined by the top of the work surface. The housing permits a variety of equipment to be held, which equipment may have delicate exposed wiring and so support mechanism of its own.
