Claim:
A method for adjusting a keyboard support assembly from a storage position under a support surface to a use position comprising: extending a keyboard tray in a direction generally parallel to the support surface; translating a first side arm in a direction generally parallel to the support, wherein a front portion of the first side arm is attached to the keyboard tray at a front attachment point; engaging a positioning surface of the first side arm with a positioning mechanism; forcing the front portion of the first side arm to rotate the first side arm about a pivot point in a rear sliding member due to the engagement of the positioning surface with the positioning mechanism; translating the keyboard tray in an upward direction; translating a second side arm substantially mirrored in construction to first side arm and attached at a front attachment point to an opposite side of the keyboard tray as first side arm; pivoting the keyboard try about the front attachment point of first side arm and front attachment point of second side arm; locking the rotation of the keyboard tray relative to the first and second arm; and clamping a top clamp plate and a bottom clamp plate on opposite sides of a support member extending under the keyboard tray.
