Abstract

A keyboard tray assembly includes a tray having a front end and a bottom wall with an upper surface. A front wall is rotatably secured to the front end of the tray by a first hinge. The front wall is rotatable between an up position and a down position. The first hinge has first and second hinge members which are rotatably coupled together about a pivot point. The first hinge member is secured to the tray and the second hinge member is secured to the front wall. The first hinge is shaped to position the pivot point adjacent to the front end of the tray below the upper surface of the bottom wall and within a first recess in the front wall. This allows the front wall to pivot in close relationship to the front end of the tray.
