A work desk construction, particularly for typists, comprises one or more subassemblies which includes a longitudinally extending rectangular first support frame which is interconnected with a second and third transversely extending frame which extend out to respective opposite sides of the longitudinal frame. Each transverse frame includes end frame members which extend through the adjacent slide frame member of the longitudinal frame and are connected to the opposite side frame member. The frame structure is supported by legs which extend downwardly from the outer lateral ends of the transverse frames and they provide the sole support for the structure. A box-like case of substantially the same size as the longitudinal frame is supported directly on the frame and it advantageously includes compartments which open laterally at respective opposite sides of the longitudinal frame member adjacent each end thereof. The transverse frame members are covered by desk plates at the portions thereof which extend outwardly from the longitudinal frame. The longitudinal frame is also advantageously provided with a cross-member at each end in the form of an angle bar having means for interconnecting adjacent ends of a plurality of subassemblies into a long unit.
A work desk construction particularly for typists, comprising a longitudinally extending rectangular first support frame having a pair of longer sides joined by a pair of narrow edges and defining a flat top case support, second and third laterally offset transverse frames each having a pair of longer sides joined by a pair of narrow edges and connected into said first frame at spaced locations from each longitudinal end of said first frame and extending transversely outwardly in respective opposite directions from said first frame at longitudinally offset locations with the longer sides of said second and third transverse frames extending substantially parallel to said first support frame narrow edges, a support leg connected to each of said second and third transverse frames adjacent the outer transverse ends thereof and comprising the sole support for all of said frames, a box-like case of substantially the same dimensions as said first frame supported on said first frame, and a desk plate of substantially the same dimensions as the portion of said transverse frames which extend laterally outwardly from said longitudinal frames overlying and supported upon respective ones of said laterally outwardly extending portions of said transverse frames.
