Abstract
A stowable sliding desk has a fixed portion and a moveable portion that is coupled to the fixed portion. The moveable portion is slidable with respect to the fixed portion and expandable in a direction perpendicular to the length of the fixed portion. The moveable portion has a fixed leaf and a hinged leaf coupled thereto that either overlays the fixed leaf or is abutting and coplanar to the fixed leaf. A hidden leaf is slidable to extend the useable area of the moveable portion when the hinged leaf is coplanar to the fixed leaf.
Claims20
A configurable desk for use with a living space, said configurable desk comprising:
- a rod having a central axis;
- a moveable portion coupled to said rod and slidable along said central axis, said moveable portion comprising:
- a telescoping frame having a proximal section located at a fixed distance from said rod and a distal section telescopically extendable with respect to said proximal section in a direction perpendicular to said central axis between a collapsed position and an extended position;
- an attached leaf fixed with respect to said distal section of said telescoping frame, a support leg fixed with respect to said attached leaf;
- an invertible leaf moveable between an abutted position and an overlaying position, said abutted position defined by one edge of said invertible leaf abutting one edge of said attached leaf, said overlaying position defined by said invertible leaf inverted with respect to said abutted position and overlaying said attached leaf;
- and
- when said invertible leaf is in said overlaying position, said telescoping frame is movable to said collapsed position.
A configurable desk comprising:
- a fixed surface having a front edge, a back edge opposite said front edge;
- a rod fixed with respect to said fixed surface;
- a moveable portion coupled to and slidable along said rod, said moveable portion comprising:
- an attached leaf telescopically extendable with respect to said rod, a support leg fixed with respect to said attached leaf;
- a moveable leaf being moveable between an abutted position and an overlaying position, said abutted position defined by said moveable leaf being coplanar to and adjacent said attached leaf, said overlaying position defined by said moveable leaf overlaying said attached leaf;
- and
- when said moveable leaf is in said overlaying position, said attached and moveable leaves are movable towards said rod.
A configurable desk for use with a living space, said configurable desk comprising:
- a fixed surface having a front edge, a back edge opposite said front edge;
- a moveable portion being slidable with respect to said fixed surface, said moveable portion comprising:
- a first telescoping frame having a proximal section located at a fixed distance from said fixed surface and a distal section telescopically extendable with respect to said proximal section between a collapsed position and an extended position;
- an attached leaf fixed with respect to said distal section of said first telescoping frame, a support leg fixed with respect to said attached leaf;
- an invertible leaf hingedly coupled to said attached leaf and pivotable between an abutted position and an overlaying position, said abutted position defined by one edge of said invertible leaf abutting one edge of said attached leaf and supported by a portion of said first telescoping frame, said overlaying position defined by said invertible leaf inverted with respect to said abutted position and overlaying said attached leaf;
- and
- when said invertible leaf is in said overlaying position, said first telescoping frame is movable to said collapsed position.
