Also, conventional mobile work-stations are typically bulky and heavy and are not easily adjustable to various positions required by the user and cannot be easily moved from one work space (or room) to another.
[0004] Therefore, to overcome the existing problems and challenges, there remains a need for a portable and rotatable workstation apparatus.
[0005] The abovementioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein, which will be understood by reading and studying the fol-lowing specification.

D) OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The prime object of the present invention is to provide a portable and rotatable workstation enabled with an adjustable orientation via a 360 degrees rotatory adjustment and adjustable height.
[0007] Another prime object of the present invention is to provide a portable workstation enabled with an adjustable orientation via a 360 degrees rotatory adjustment and adjustable height with an attached side rack assembly.
[0008] Another prime object of the present invention is to provide a portable workstation enabled with an adjustable orientation via a 360 degrees rotatory adjustment and adjustable height with a side rack assembly and a chair at-tached to the side rack assembly.

[0021] Various embodiments disclosed herein provide a portable and rotata-ble workstation apparatus. In another embodiment, the present disclosure also provides a portable and rotatable workstation apparatus with a side rack as-sembly. In yet another embodiment, the present technology provides a portable and rotatable workstation apparatus with a side rack assembly and a chair, de-tachably attached to the portable and rotatable workstation apparatus.
[0022] FIG. 1A depicts a right perspective view of a portable and rotatable workstation apparatus 100, in accordance with an embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1A, the portable and rotatable workstation apparatus 100 includes a vertical central rod 102, a workstation holding unit 103 detachably attached to the vertical central rod 102 for holding a workstation, a workstation rotation unit 105 detachably attached to the vertical central rod 102 for facilitating a 360 degrees rotation of the workstation about the vertical central rod 102. In an embodiment, the workstation holding unit 103 includes a first clamp 104 detachably attached to the vertical central rod 102, a second clamp 106 de-tachably attached to the vertical central rod 102 below the first clamp 104, and a tray console 110. In an embodiment, the workstation rotation unit 105 in-cludes at least a pair of circular discs, such as a first circular disc 112 and a second circular disc 114 positioned parallel to one another, a plurality of rods 116A-N (where N is a whole number), positioned between the first and second circular discs 112 and 114, a base ring structure 115. The second circular disc 114 includes a first set of castors 120 attached to therein for facilitating the 360 degrees rotation of the portable rotatable workstation apparatus 100. The base ring structure 115 includes a second set of castors 121 attached therein for enabling portability of the portable and rotatable workstation apparatus 100.
[0023] The first clamp 104 is configured to hold a computer screen 118. The second clamp 106 is configured to hold the tray console 110 detachably at-tached to the vertical central rod 102. In an exemplary scenario, the tray con-sole 110 is configured to hold computer peripheral devices such as, for exam-ple, a keyboard 124 and a mouse 126. In another exemplary scenario, the tray console 110 is configured to hold a portable computing device, such as for ex-ample, a laptop, a tablet, and the like. The tray console 110 and the first clamp 104 are movable up and down along the vertical central rod 102 to be posi-tioned at various heights as per need of usage. In an embodiment, the first clamp 104 and /or the second clamp 106 includes a fixing means to fix the po-sition of the tray console 110 at a desired height. The fixing means can be loosened from the vertical central rod 102 to be move the first clamp 104 and/or the second clamp 106 up or down along the vertical central rod 102 to be positioned at various heights as per the need of usage. For instance, the user can position the computer screen 118 at a desired height by adjusting the posi-tion of the first clamp 104, to comfortably view the computer screen 118 and can also suitably adjust the location of the second clamp 106 along the vertical central rod 102 to suitably position of the tray console 110 at a desired height that could hold a keyboard at a comfortable position for the user, thereby ob-taining an ergonomically advantageous work environment.
