Abstract
A lap desk can be formed as a single body of material, such as foam. The body includes a main rear section having a top planar surface and left and right arms that extend forwardly from the main rear section and have top surfaces for supporting arms of a user.
Claims20
A lap desk comprising:
- a single body formed of foam, the body including a main rear section having a top planar surface and left and right arms that extend forwardly from the main rear section and have top surfaces for supporting arms of a user and are configured to be located alongside opposing sides of a torso of the user;
- wherein the single body is constructed such that when the single body rests on a flat ground surface, in an in-use position, the main rear section and the left and right arms are in contact with the ground surface.
A lap desk comprising:
- a rear section having a top planar surface;
- and
- a forward section that includes shaped opening for receiving a torso of a user, the shaped opening defining left and right arms that extend forwardly from the rear section and have top surfaces for supporting arms of a user due to the left and right arms configured for placement against left and right sides of the torso of the user resulting in the lap desk wrapping around the torso, the top surfaces of the left and right arms being spaced from and distinct from the top planar surface for allowing the arms of the user to be placed and supported by the left and right arms without placement on the top planar surface of the rear section;
- wherein the lap desk is formed as a single block of foam material;
- wherein the shaped opening is U-shaped and wherein outer walls of the left and right arms are coaxial and coplanar with outer walls of the rear section, wherein an apex of the U-shaped opening is located along a demarcation region that delimits the rear section from the left and right arms and defines a transition from a first plane in which the entire rear section lies to a second plane in which the top surfaces of the left and right arms lie, the second plane being at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the first plane.

- a single body formed of foam, the body including a main rear section having a top planar surface and left and right arms that extend forwardly from the main rear section and have top surfaces for supporting arms of a user and are configured to be located alongside opposing sides of a torso of the user;
- wherein the left arm is defined by a left inner surface and a left outer surface and the right arm is defined by a right inner surface and a right outer surface, wherein at least a section of the left inner surface is parallel to at least a section of the right inner surface and wherein at least a section of the left outer surface is parallel to at least a section of the right outer surface.
A lap desk comprising:
- a single body formed of foam, the body including a main rear section having a top planar surface and left and right arms that extend forwardly from the main rear section and have top surfaces for supporting arms of a user and are configured to be located alongside opposing sides of a torso of the user;
- wherein the top planar surface of the main rear section is parallel to a bottom surface of the body.
