ABSTRACT:
A computer keyboard is provided which is mounted for pivoting movement adjacent one of its front and rear edges. The keyboard also may be pivotable about a more or less vertical pivot. One or more cams engage the keyboard for movement thereof either continuously or from time to time. The cams are motor operated or manually operated, and may effect pivotal movement of the keyboard on a continuous basis or on an intermittent basis. In a preferred embodiment a time or counter operates a light/buzzer device to call attention of the operator to the necessity for operating a manual lever to effect movement of the cam to effect movement of the keyboard.
