Abstract
A desk has a base that rests on an underlying floor surface, a work surface that is supported by the base, and a seat that is rotatably connected to the base for rotation between a first position, located in a conventional position behind the desk so a person may sit at the desk, and a second position, located to one side of the desk so that a person may instead stand at the desk. The seat is adjustable radially relative to its axis of rotation, vertically up and down relative to the floor surface, and angularly toward its axis of rotation.
Claims26
A desk, comprising:
- a frame having a base configured to rest in a stable position on top of a horizontal floor surface, and a post extending vertically upward from the base to an upper distal end;
- a desktop connected to the post proximate the upper distal end;
- a rigid connector link having a first end and an opposite, second end, wherein the first end is rotatably connected to the frame for rotation about a generally vertical axis relative to the frame;
- and
- a seat connected to the second end of the connector link at a radial distance from the generally vertical axis, wherein the connector link is selectively adjustable in length to adjust said radial distance and thereby adjust the seat relative to the desktop.
A desk, comprising:
- a frame having a base configured to rest in a stable position on top of a horizontal floor surface, and a post extending vertically upward from the base to an upper distal end;
- a desktop;
- a first connector having a first end selectively telescopically connected to the post proximate the upper distal end, and an opposite, second end pivotally connected to a first portion of the desktop thereby defining a horizontal axis;
- and
- a second connector having a first end pivotally and selectively slidably connected to an intermediate portion of the first connector, and an opposite, second end pivotally connected to a discrete, second portion of the desktop, wherein the second connector links pivoting of the desktop about the horizontal axis to sliding of the second connector along the intermediate portion of the first connector.
A desk, comprising:
- a frame having a base configured to rest in a stable position on top of a horizontal floor surface, and a post extending vertically upward from the base to an upper distal end;
- a desktop connected to the post proximate the upper distal end;
- a rigid connector link having a first end and an opposite, second end, wherein the first end is rotatably connected to the frame for rotation about a generally vertical axis relative to the frame;
- and
- a waste basket supported on the second end of the connector link at a radial distance from the generally vertical axis.
