Abstract:
1. A keyboard and mouse platform system for a desk, said desk having a desk surface capable of installation of said keyboard and mouse platform system thereunder, comprising: an elongate slide rail having a proximal end, a distal end, a planar upper surface, and a planar lower surface, said proximal end corresponding to a proximal edge of said desk relative to a user, said planar upper surface extending along said desk surface of said desk; a desk clamp attached to said proximal end of said slide rail and spatially positioned substantially in overlying relation to said proximal end of said slide rail, said desk clamp structured to grasp said proximal edge of said desk and be secured to said proximal edge of said desk in order to support said proximal end of said slide rail at said proximal edge of said desk; a post clamp attached to said lower surface of said slide rail, said post clamp positioned in proximity to said distal end of said slide rail, said post clamp extending in a downward direction from said slide rail in underlying relation to said lower surface of said slide rail, said post clamp having a substantially hollow interior; an elongate support post having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end of said elongate support post slidably and removably disposed within said substantially hollow interior of said post clamp, said elongate support post extending from within said post clamp beneath said lower surface of said slide rail to a ground on which said desk is positioned, said support post being extendable so that said support post is taut between said post clamp and said ground; a connector apparatus slidable coupled to said slide rail; a keyboard and mouse tray secured to said connector apparatus; a proximal stopper disposed in proximity to said proximal end of said slide rail to prevent said connector apparatus and said keyboard and mouse tray from sliding proximally off of said proximal end of said slide rail; and a distal stopper disposed in proximity to said distal end of said slide rail to prevent said connector apparatus and said keyboard and mouse tray from sliding distally off of said distal end of said slide rail.
