Keyboard pad with reversible mouse pad

A support arrangement for connection to a work surface, said arrangement comprising:

• a main support pad having sidewardly-spaced first and second edges and defining an upper side thereon adapted for supporting a computer keyboard;
• an elongate support element having an arcuately-shaped upper surface, said support element being mounted adjacent a lower side of said main support pad and being slidably supported thereon for movement between a retracted position wherein said support element is disposed substantially beneath said main support pad and an extended position wherein said support element is cantilevered outwardly from one said edge of said main support pad;
• and
• an auxiliary support pad defining first and second edges which are sidewardly-spaced from one another, an upper side adapted for supporting a computer accessory thereon, and a lower side defining an arcuately-shaped bearing area which extends transversely therealong, one said edge of said auxiliary support pad mounting thereon a toothed sector which is cooperatively engageable with a corresponding toothed sector mounted on said one edge of said main support pad, said auxiliary support pad being positioned on said support element when in said extended position such that said bearing area engages said upper surface thereof, said auxiliary support pad being slidably movable along said upper surface of said support element to effectively adjust the respective positions of said toothed sectors relative to one another and position said auxiliary support pad in a selected angular orientation relative to said main support pad.

A support pad arrangement for a computer keyboard comprising:

• a main support pad having sidewardly-spaced first and second side edges and defining an upper side adapted for supporting a computer keyboard thereon;
• a support arm connected to said main support pad for supporting said pad arrangement from a work surface;
• an auxiliary support pad defining an upper side for supporting a computer accessory thereon;
• an elongate support element mounted on said main support pad adjacent a lower side thereof, said support element being slidably supported on said main support pad for movement between a retracted position wherein said support element is disposed substantially beneath said main support pad and an extended position wherein said support element is cantilevered transversely outwardly from one of said first and second side edges of said main support pad;
• and
• an arrangement for mounting said auxiliary support pad on said support element in said extended position thereof, said mounting arrangement including a pair of opposed and cooperative bearing members which are slidably movable relative to one another to permit said auxiliary support pad to be positioned in a selected angular orientation relative to said main support pad.

A support pad arrangement for a computer keyboard, comprising:

• a keyboard support pad having a generally horizontally enlarged upper surface adapted for supporting a computer keyboard thereon;
• a supporting structure connected to said keyboard pad for movably supporting said support pad arrangement from a work surface;
• a releasable braking assembly cooperating between said keyboard pad and said supporting structure for fixing said keyboard pad in a selected position relative to the work surface;
• and
• an actuator member movably mounted on said keyboard pad and connected to cabling of said braking assembly, said actuator member being manually actuable by a user into an actuating position to release said braking assembly and permit simultaneous adjustment of said keyboard pad into a plurality of vertical and angular positions relative to the work surface.
