ABSTRACT:
A pivoting mount for a detachable, low profile keyboard in a computer terminal which includes a video display unit, e.g., a CRT, provides for the secure positioning of the keyboard adjacent to the video display unit in either a lowered, use position or a raised, stored position. In the use position, the keyboard is maintained in a stable horizontal orientation immediately below and forward of the faceplate of the video display unit. In the stored position, the keyboard is securely maintained in a generally vertical orientation immediately forward of the video display unit's faceplate so as to provide protection therefor and enhance the portability of the computer terminal. This mounting arrangement also provides for the remote use of the keyboard by facilitating its removal from the computer terminal to which it remains electrically coupled by means of a cable.
