ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a computer keyboard or laptop computer on the lap of the user is generally comprised of a top member, medial member, and lower member assembled in vertically stacked relationship. The top member includes an upper surface for supporting a computer keyboard or laptop computer. A raised ledge adjacent to the upper surface includes a pair of resilient pads to engage the wrists of the user in supporting relationship. An interior cavity extends laterally below the upper support surface to receive a drawer which may be withdrawn slidably from either end of the cavity. The drawer is formed in bilateral sections, one supporting a mouse pad, the other storing floppy disks. A removable copy stand may be erected by engaging a pair of holes formed in each bilateral portion of the drawer. The lower member is provided with a wedge form tapering from the distal edge to the proximal edge, with a pair of shallow troughs formed in the bottom surface to accommodate the legs of the user. The bottom surface includes convex protrusions in a regular array to provide soft contact and high friction. A handle is formed integrally in the proximal surfaces of the upper and medial members. A foot protruding from the distal side of the assembly includes a base surface extending orthogonally to the upper support surface, and an optional stability plate may be secured to the base in ground-engaging fashion with the assembly extending upwardly therefrom. A desk clamp may be secured to the foot to hang the apparatus in cantilever fashion on the edge of a desk or table.
