(2) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional system 100 for raising and storing a monitor 300 to a desk is shown in FIG. 1 and generally includes a box 101, a motor 102, a driving mechanism 103 and a cover 104. The box 101 is located under a top 200 of the desk and includes a receiving space 101a and an opening 101b on a top of the box 101. The motor 102 is located in the receiving space 101a so as to activate a support device 103 in the box 101. The support device 103 has a support board 103a such the monitor 300 is fixed on the support board 103a. The cover 104 can close the opening 101b and is opened along with the upward movement of the monitor 300.
In order to let the lower edge of the monitor 300 be in flush with the top surface of the top of the top 200 of the desk, a significant size of opening has to be cut in the top 200 of the desk. Although the opening in the top 200 can be covered by the cover 104, the desk looks award when the cover 104 closes the opening of the top 200.
The present invention intends to provide a system for rising and storing a monitor wherein the cover for closing the opening of the desk can be vertically moved into the opening then pivoted such that the size of the opening of the desk can be made as small as possible.
