Abstract
A corner mounting unit for a computer and like equipment quickly attaches to two adjoining surfaces at the same height. The mounting unit includes a frame having a slightly elevated plate with attachments positioned at selected locations whereby computer components or accessories may be positioned and firmly supported directly or indirectly at any of such variety of locations. A keyboard or bridging surface is captured by the frame and extends forwardly of the unit at a lower elevation and bridging the included angle between the adjoining surfaces. A separate adjustable keyboard may be employed. Also adjustable monitor turntables or swing arm attachments may be secured to the unit to position the computer components or accessories at the desired location for effective use. The unit eliminates the need for an expensive and complex intermediate or third top and the requisite hardware. A bridging clamp is provided at the intersection of the work surfaces so that the unit serves additionally to join, rigidify and stabilize such work surfaces.
