Title: Desktop computer rack

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates generally to a desktop computer accessory, and more particularly to a desktop computer rack. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a desktop computer rack of the prior art has a main body A of a metal material. The main body A is provided in the two opposite ends of the underside thereof with two fixed flaps A1. Located between the two fixed flaps A1 are two reinforcing ribs B for reinforcing the structural strength of the main body A. Such a prior art desktop computer rack as described above is defective in design in that it is not cost-effective, and that its design lacks versatility, and further that it has a very smooth rack top on which a desktop computer can not be securely located, and still further that it can not be orderly piled up to facilitate the packing and the shipping of the rack. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The primary objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a desktop computer rack free from the drawbacks of the prior art desktop computer rack described above. 
     In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a desktop computer rack consisting of a main body, a keyboard plate and two slide rails. The main body is provided with a skidproof top on which the desktop computer is placed. The keyboard plate can be slid into out of the main body, on the two slide rails. 
     The foregoing objective, features, and functions of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT 
     As shown in FIGS. 3-6, a desktop computer rack embodied in the present invention is composed of a main body 1, a keyboard plate 2, and two slide rail devices 3. The keyboard plate 2 is slidably located under the main body 1, thanks to the two slide rail devices 3 which are fastened by a plurality of screws 4. 
     The main body 1 is made integrally of a plastic material. The main body 1 has a rack top 6 which is provided with a plurality of skidproof grooves 7. The main body 1 further has an underside provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 11 for enhancing the structural strength of the rack top 6. The main body 1 is provided at four comers thereof with a through slot 9 for accommodating a leg pad 12. The rack top 6 is provided in a front longitudinal side thereof with an elongated through slot 10. 
     The embodiment of the present invention described above is to be deemed in all respects as being merely illustrative and not restrictive. Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from the spirit thereof. The present invention is therefore to be limited only by the scopes of the following appended claims.
