The pedestal has a pair of fingers for contacting a front corner of each of a pair of spaced apart seat risers, a pair of adjusting screws for contacting sides of each of the seat risers and a pair of clamps for contacting a rear corner of each of the seat risers. An upwardly extending wall formed about a periphery of the upper mounting surface, a pair of depressions are formed in a lower surface of the portable desk structure and a pair of posts are formed in the upper mounting surface to retain the portable desk structure on the pedestal. The pedestal can have storage compartments formed therein.

A desk system for use in a van type vehicle having a pair of side-by-side spaced apart vehicle seats mounted upon seat risers attached to a floor of the vehicle comprising:
- a pedestal means having a floor engaging base and tapering inwardly and upwardly to an upper mounting surface;
- a first mounting means attached to said pedestal means for releasably engaging a pair of spaced apart seat risers mounted on a vehicle floor when said pedestal means is positioned between the seat risers;
- a portable desk structure having means for mounting a cellular telephone;
- and
- a second mounting means attached to said upper mounting surface of said pedestal means and to said portable desk structure for releasably retaining said portable desk structure on said upper mounting surface of said pedestal means whereby when the desk system is mounted in a vehicle with said base engaging a floor of the vehicle between a pair of side-by-side spaced apart seats mounted on seat risers and said first mounting means releasably engages the seat risers, said portable desk structure can be removed from the vehicle without removing said pedestal means by releasing said second mounting means from retaining said portable desk structure on said upper mounting surface and said pedestal means and said portable desk structure can be removed from the vehicle as an assembly by releasing said first mounting means from engagement with the seat risers.
A desk system for use in a van type vehicle having a pair of side-by-side spaced apart vehicle seats mounted upon seat risers attached to a floor of the vehicle comprising:
- a pedestal means having a floor engaging base and an upper mounting surface;
- a mounting means attached to said pedestal means for releasably engaging a pair of spaced apart seat risers mounted on a vehicle floor and preventing relative movement between said pedestal means and the seat risers in at least one direction when said pedestal means is positioned between the seat risers;
- and
- a portable desk structure having a lower surface, a writing surface and means for mounting a cellular telephone, said lower surface being releasably attached to said upper mounting surface whereby when the desk system is mounted in a vehicle with said base engaging a floor of the vehicle between a pair of side-by-side spaced apart seats mounted on seat risers and said mounting means releasably engages the seat risers, said portable desk structure can be removed from the vehicle without removing said pedestal means by releasing said lower surface from said upper mounting surface and said pedestal means and said portable desk structure can be removed from the vehicle as an assembly by releasing said mounting means from engagement with the seat risers.
