A suspension system for a personal computer or monitor comprising a carriage in which the monitor or computer is mounted, the carriage being supported from above by a frictionally secured swivel and tilt mechanism in turn attached to a pivotable and rotatable support arm. The support arm is balanced by an adjustable pneumatic pressure cylinder, and is mounted on a roller assembly such that it may be carried along a path defined by a track assembly, thereby permitting the monitor or computer to be transported between first and second positions, as well as simultaneously being raised or lowered vertically, tilted, rotated, or swiveled. The track assembly may be attached to the underside of a shelving unit and incorporated into a modular partition system, or attached to a freestanding frame.

A suspension system for positioning and supporting a display device of a personal computer above a work surface for the convenience of an operator, said suspension system comprising: a carriage to receive the display device therein and having a front and back; a tilt and swivel mechanism attached to and extending above said carriage, said tilt and swivel mechanism allowing said carriage to be tilted and rotated relative to the work surface; a parallelogram linkage system including first and second substantially parallel suspension arms, each said arm having a distal end and a proximal end and said linkage system carrying said tilt and swivel mechanism adjacent said distal ends of said arms; a pivot housing, said pivot housing being pivotably fastened to and supporting said suspension arms at said proximal ends thereof; upward biasing means to urge the carriage and display device upwardly in a generally vertical direction away from the work surface; a truck member pivotally mounting said pivot housing and allowing said linkage system to extend radially from said truck member; tracking means supported above the work surface, said truck member being mounted for sliding movement along said tracking means, said carriage being movable between a first position disposed over the work surface and a second position displaced from said first position as said truck member is moved relative to said tracking means; and said tilt and swivel mechanism being rotatable through substantially 360°and said pivot housing being rotatable relative to said tracking means through at least 180°while fully supporting the carriage over the work surface to thereby permit sliding, swinging and rotational movement of said carriage to substantially any position around and below said tracking means and within the radius defined by said linkage system while allowing the front of the carriage to confront the operator in all such positions.
