ABSTRACT:
A portable computer tray assembly (20) which includes a relatively thin, structurally rigid and length adjustable support surface (27) to accommodate and support a variety of portable computers (33) thereatop. The computer tray assembly (20) includes a relatively thin platform member (21) having a plurality of shallow strengthening ribs (23) laterally spaced-apart thereacross. Further, a relatively thin support member (24) is positioned adjacent and in abutting contact with the platform member (21), and includes a plurality of shallow support ribs (26) laterally spaced-apart across the support member. These support ribs (26) are formed for sliding interengagement with the strengthening ribs (23) of the platform member (21) to provide sliding interengagement therebetween to lengthen the support surface (23) which is aggregately formed by the platform member (21) and the support member (24). The interengagement between the ribs (23, 26) further substantially prevents lateral motion of the support member (24) relative the platform member (21). The support surface (27) further includes an upstanding first lip (30) and an opposite upstanding second lip (31) to retain a portable computer (33) therebetween.
