Abstract
A height adjustable keyboard support for attachment to and support from a work surface comprising two mounting brackets for attachment to a work surface. A rigid subassembly has a pair of horizontally spaced pivotting support arms rigidly connected at one end thereof by an intermediate member such that said support arms maintain the relationship therebetween. The subassembly is pivotally secured to the work surface by mounting brackets. A tiltable keyboard mounting arrangement is located generally between the support arms and is controlled by a linkage. An adjustable in length link extends between the subassembly and one of the mounting brackets and maintains the subassembly in a desired position and allows adjustment of said position by adjusting the length of the adjustable link. The link can have one end thereof secured in a slot with gravity biasing the link to one end of the slot. The slot allows the keyboard support to move upwardly if required to avoid pinning of an operator's legs therebeneath.
