Patent 7568774 was granted and assigned to J SQUARED, INC. on August, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A keyboard drawer with self-retracting mouse platform beneath the desktop of a desk is slidably engaged between first and second parallel vertical members extending downward from the desktop. The mouse platform is pivotally connected atop a sidewall of the keyboard drawer such that one of the vertical members provides a pivot point for pivoting the mouse platform from an extended position, in front of the vertical member, to a retracted position, over the keyboard drawer. The mouse platform is pivoted when it contacts the pivot point during movement of the keyboard drawer from an open position in front of the desktop to a closed position beneath the desktop.
