Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a keyboard assembly for computer containing a mobile keyboard pallet. CONSTITUTION: Pallets can be moved relatively to each other between a compressed housing position and an expanded actuating position. A moving mechanism moves one pallet 20 in the lateral direction against the other pallet 27, and then, the other pallet 27 in a.direction oblique to the lateral direction. The moving mechanism can be connected to the cover 16 of a computer 10 so that the movement of the pallets can be controlled automatically based on the position of the cover 16 against the base 14 of the computer 10. The pallets automatically move from the compressed housing position when the cover 16 is closed and to the expanded actuating position when the cover 16 is opened. When the cover 16 is moved to the closing position from the opening position, the pallets automatically move to the compressed housing position from the expanded actuating position.
