  • Patent number: 4986616
    Abstract: A wire form computer stand with a drop-style keyboard retaining tray is disclosed. The system includes a track system pivotally mounted to the stand's enclosure and a tray is slidably mounted within the track for storage within the stand or positioning externally of the stand in a lowered position. This system permits use of a limited surface area, permits the mounting of a monitor at a convenient height, as well as the positioning of the keyboard at a lower more comfortable height. The system is fabricated from rod or wire bent to shape which is coated with a protective coating that also reduces friction at sliding surfaces. This method of fabrication is less expensive to manufacture and sale of the system.
