A releasable friction clutch restricts pivotal movement of the platform around the central portion of the support member. A releasable ratchet assembly prevents revolving movement of the central portion toward a lowered position relative to the attachment members. A switching mechanism can be manually activated to release the ratchet assemblies and the friction clutch so that the position and orientation of the platform relative to the table or desk top can be adjusted.
An articulated support assembly adapted for adjustably supporting a computer keyboard along one edge of a horizontal support member having a bottom surface, said support assembly comprising
