  • Patent number: 5901933
    Abstract: A dimensional adjusting device for computer keyboard racks including a displacement device, a rotary device, a connecting plate, an elevating device, an elevation device, and a positioning device. The invention is characterized in that a relay plate is disposed between a fixed track and movable track of one of two slide track units, the relay plate being connected to the movable track and having two plate wings at both sides thereof. The plate wings pass through corresponding track holes in the movable track to be further connected to a plate flap at either side of a fixed plate. The invention is further characterized in that the fixed plate has a positioning device disposed therein. The positioning device is comprised of a bottom cover disposed over a front portion of the fixed plate, and two trigger pieces. The bottom cover has a partition rib defining a clearance with a front wall of the bottom cover for receiving two oppositely disposed rods with a spring sandwiched therebetween.
