ABSTRACT:
A support for a keyboard for a computer resting on spaced apart feet on a narrow support surface includes two articulated elongated members which are spaced apart laterally the distance between the feet on the computer by cross-braces. The first end sections of the elongated members are placed on the support surface under the spaced apart feet of the computer to cantilever the middle sections and second end sections out over the edge of the support surface with the middle sections extending generally downward adjacent the edge of the support surface and the second end sections extending generally laterally outward from the middle sections to form spaced part supports for the keyboard. Preferably, the middle sections of the elongated members are hinged to the end sections for adjusting the height at which the keyboard is supported and to rotate the middle sections to a generally horizontal position with the second end sections extending generally upward to form a cradle for stowing the keyboard when not in use with the keys facing the computer. Also preferably, the second end sections are hinged to the middle sections such that through adjustment of the two sets of hinges the keyboard can be set to a range of heights.
