The presently disclosed subject matter is directed towards impact resistant structures. The structures comprise a support truss having at least two side frames, each comprising at least two vertical members connected at the upper end thereof with a horizontal member. The support truss further comprises a rear frame comprising at least one vertical frame post extending above a height of the vertical members. The structures also have a load-bearing assembly comprising at least one vertical load-bearing post spaced apart from the frame post, at least one horizontal load-bearing beam extending at least between the at least one vertical load-bearing post and said frame post; and at least two inclined load-bearing beams substantially extending from the at least one horizontal load-bearing beam to the at least two side frames.
An impact resistant structure comprising:
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, wherein at least one vertical load-bearing post off centered with respect to the length of said at least one horizontal load-bearing beam.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, wherein at least one vertical load-bearing post is positioned approximately ¾ of the length of said at least one horizontal load-bearing beam.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, further comprising a horizontal support frame mounted over the structure.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, wherein the at least two inclined load-bearing beams extend substantially centrally from the at least one horizontal load-bearing beam to the at least two side frames.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, comprising four inclined load-bearing beams, two of the inclined beams extending from the rear post to the side frames and two from the at least one horizontal load-bearing beam to the at least two side frames.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, further comprising a planar support frame extending on the sides of the horizontal support beam.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, further comprising impact absorbing members at the top ends of the at least two side members.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims, wherein the impact absorbing members are configured for plastic deformation, elastic deformation and the like.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims wherein the impact absorbing members are shock absorbing support elements, configured for absorbing at least some of the shock caused when a weighted mass falls on the structure causing it to collapse.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims wherein the shock absorbing support elements are in a form of a piston.
A structure in accordance with any one of the previous claims further comprising a top surface leveled above the load-bearing beam.
An impact resistant structure comprising:
A desk comprising:
