  • Patent number: 5358208
    Abstract: A device that holds a mouse pad and provides a second elevation or surface above the pad for another object such as a book or work papers in order to make better use of space on a desk. The device is preferably made of a single segment of material folded in three places to form and separate the two elevations and provide a lip for the upper elevation which is sloped so that the object on that elevation can be more easily seen. The device has a hole for a cable from the mouse on the mouse pad to pass through to the computer and may have a recess dimensioned for the mouse pad. Alternatively, an adhesive may be provided so that the mouse pad does not slip from the lower elevation. Small friction pads are placed on the underside of the lower level to prevent the device from slipping from the desk surface.
