Furniture accessory kit for portable computers and the like

A shelf removably mountable on a substantially vertical slat wall, comprising:

• a worksurface defining a top surface configured to support a laptop computer thereon, and a rear edge;
• at least one mounting member attached to the shelf and releasably mountable to the wall;
• a recessed area located below the top surface of the worksurface, and adapted to receive wiring associated with the laptop computer therein;
• a top cover movable between a closed position wherein the top cover covers the recessed area and is substantially planar with the top surface, and an open position wherein the recessed area is accessible;
• and
• a locking mechanism that engages the slat wall, thereby preventing the removal of the mounting member from the slat wall.

A kit for securing a device to a slat wall, comprising:

• a first member including:
• a ring section defining an aperture therein;
• a stem section extending outwardly from the ring section;
• and
• a pair of flanges connected to the stem section and engageable with a slat wall by inserting the flanges within a slot of the slat wall and rotating the first member with respect to the slat wall;
• a second member including:
• plate section defining an inner surface and an outer surface and having an elongated aperture located therein, the aperture adapted to receive the ring section of the first member therein such that the ring section of the first member extends substantially orthogonal to the slat wall and the plate section extends substantially coplanar with the slat wall;
• and
• at least one stop extending outwardly from the inner surface of the plate section and adapted to engage the slat wall, thereby restricting rotational movement of the first and second members;
• and
• a third member adapted to be received within the ring section of the first member, thereby preventing removal of the plate of the second member from about the ring section of the first member.

In a furniture system for dividing open office space and the like of the type having at least one vertical wall panel, the improvement of a wall-hung portable computer support shelf comprising:

• a horizontal shelf member shaped to support a portable computer on an upper surface thereof;
• a connector member detachably mounting said shelf member to said wall panel along a rear edge of said shelf member to support the same from said wall panel in a cantilevered horizontal orientation;
• a wire trough extending laterally along said shelf member adjacent said rear edge thereof, and shaped to receive and retain therein wiring associated with the portable computer;
• and
• a removable cover shaped to enclose said wire trough and being detachably connected with said shelf member to provide access to said wire trough;
• and wherein said wall is a slat wall section and said computer shelf further includes a locking mechanism that engages said slat wall, thereby preventing the removal of said connector member from said slat wall.
