Keyboard mounting apparatus

摘要

A keyboard mounting assembly includes a base having a body portion with an edge, and a keyboard tray having a support portion configured to engage a keyboard. The keyboard tray further includes an edge-engaging portion configured to releasably engage the edge of the base for pivotal movement between a first position, in which the body portion of the base and the support portion of the keyboard tray are not parallel to one another, and a second position, in which the body portion of the base and the support portion of the keyboard tray are generally parallel to one another. The assembly further includes an interlock mechanism between the base and the keyboard tray that is operable to releasably secure the base and the keyboard tray in the second position.

1. A keyboard mounting assembly comprising:
a base having a body portion with a peripheral edge; a flange extending downwardly from the peripheral edge in a direction generally normal to the body portion; a keyboard tray having a support portion configured to support a keyboard, the keyboard tray further including an edge-engaging portion defining a generally U-shaped channel sized and configured to releasably receive the peripheral edge and the flange of the base for pivotal movement about the peripheral edge and the flange between a first position, in which the body portion of the base and the support portion of the keyboard tray are not parallel to one another, and a second position, in which the body portion of the base and the support portion of the keyboard tray are generally parallel to one another; and an interlock mechanism coupled to one of the base and the keyboard tray and a locking piece coupled to the other one of the base and the keyboard tray, wherein pivoting the keyboard tray to the second position automatically causes the locking piece to be received by the interlock mechanism to releasably secure the base and the keyboard tray in the second position.
