ABSTRACT:
A cabinet, rack frame or equipment that includes a temporary workshelf that may be stowed within the profile of a cabinet, rack frame or equipment when not in use. When in use, the workshelf extends to provide a work surface that may be used, for example to hold a laptop computer or other portable equipment, as a writing surface. The workshelf may be positioned in the cabinet or rack so that when extended, the workshelf provides an ergonomic work surface. Additionally, when extended, the workshelf may expose a portion of a front face of the cabinet, rack frame or equipment. The front face may house one or more functional units such as a data port, door latch, power switch, display or a control panel. When the workshelf is extended, a technician may have access to the functional units.
