  • the desk accessory support has parallel plates for engaging the upper and lower surfaces of the desktop between the plates, and a curved resilient portion that for providing a wrist rest for a user operating a computer.
  • US2003/230222A1 discloses a movable board for a desk board.
  • the movable board can be lifted up or pressed down relative to the main desk board.
  • the movable desk board has the size and the shape thereof corresponding to the recess opening and is pivotally connected to one or two lateral edges of the recess opening with a pivot part.
  • a liquid crystal display is mounted to the rear side of the movable desk board.
  • the worker's wrists and elbow joints are subject to strain and stress when the worker uses a keyboard or a mouse controller. Consequently, the worker's wrists and elbow joints may become painful.
  • Screen work is the typical kind of work carried out in office spaces.
  • the efficiency of space utilization of office spaces influences companies' operating costs, which are to be kept low. Absence from workstations on account of workers being on sick leaves or business trips reduces the efficiency of office spaces. Conference rooms and other spaces which, when unused, reduce the efficiency of the particular space also contribute to the efficiency of the space utilization of office spaces.
  • An object of the invention is thus to provide an apparatus so as to enable at least some of the aforementioned problems to be solved.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by an arrangement that is characterized by what is stated in the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • an arm rest may be hidden or brought out onto a work surface.
  • the work surface may have more than one and at least two modes of use. In a first mode of use, the work surface makes screen work accessories available to a user while in a second mode of use the screen work accessories are hidden from the user.
