Seat attachment for desks

A seat attachment for attachment to the side of a desk and having a seat movable between a stored position closely adjacent to the side of the desk and a deployed position to provide an auxiliary seating surface, comprising:

• an elongate generally rectangular outer tubular member having a generally square transverse cross section adapted to be secured horizontally to the side of a desk with an open end perpendicular to the side of the desk;
• elongate inner support arm channel having a generally square U-shaped transverse cross section received within said outer tubular member in said a stored position with an open side facing downwardly, and slidable a distance outwardly relative thereto in said to an outwardly extended position disposed horizontally a distance above the surface of a floor;
• a seat pivotally connected to an outwardly extensible end of said support arm channel to pivot between a generally vertical position and a horizontal deployed position;
• and
• an elongate support leg an elongate member sized to be nested generally horizontally within said support arm channel in said stored position, having a first end pivotally connected with said support arm channel and having a second end pivotal outwardly and vertically downwardly from and generally perpendicular to said support arm channel in its said outwardly extended position to engage a floor surface and support said support arm channel and said seat a distance above the surface of the floor;
• in the stored position, said support leg member disposed horizontally inside said support arm channel and said support arm channel disposed horizontally inside said outer tubular member;
• and
• to deploy said seat attachment, said support arm channel and said seat is pulled outwardly a distance from said outer tubular member to assume a horizontal position coaxial with said outer tubular member, said second end of said support leg member is pivoted outwardly and downwardly from said support arm channel to assume a vertical position perpendicular to said support arm channel, and said seat is pivoted from its generally vertical position to its horizontal deployed position.

A desk having a seat attachment on a side of the desk with a seat movable between a stored position closely adjacent to the side of the desk and a deployed position to provide an auxiliary seating surface, comprising:

• a desk having at least one side and supported on a floor surface;
• an elongate generally rectangular outer channel member having a generally square U-shaped transverse cross section disposed vertically on said side of said desk with an open side perpendicular to said side of said desk;
• said, an elongate inner support arm channel having a generally square U-shaped transverse cross section sized to be nested vertically within said outer channel member in opposed facing relation in a stored position, and having a first end pivotally connected with an upper end of said outer channel member and a second end pivotal outwardly and upwardly from said outer channel member in said to an outwardly extended position disposed horizontally a distance above the surface of a floor;
• a seat secured to said support arm channel second end;
• and
• an elongate support member nested vertically within said support arm channel in a stored position, having a first end pivotally connected with said second end of said support arm channel and having a second end pivotal outwardly and downwardly from said support arm member to an outwardly extended vertical position;
• in the stored position, said support leg member disposed vertically inside said support arm channel and said support arm channel disposed vertically inside said outer channel member;
• and
• to deploy said seat attachment, said second end of said support arm channel and said seat is pivoted upwardly to assume a horizontal position perpendicular to said outer channel member, and said second end of said support leg is pivoted outwardly and downwardly from said support arm channel to assume a vertical position perpendicular to said support arm channel.

A desk having a seat attachment on a side of the desk with a seat movable between a stored position closely adjacent to the side of the desk and a deployed position to provide an auxiliary seating surface comprising:

• a desk having at least one side and supported on a floor surface;
• an elongate generally rectangular outer tubular member having a generally square transverse cross section disposed horizontally on said side of said desk with an open end perpendicular to said side of said desk;
• an elongate inner support arm channel halving a generally square U-shaped transverse cross section received within said outer tubular member in a stored position with an open side facing downwardly, and slidable a distance outwardly relative thereto to an outwardly extended position disposed horizontally a distance above the surface of a floor;
• a seat pivotally connected to an outwardly extensible end of said support arm channel to pivot between a generally vertical position and a horizontal deployed position;
• and
• an elongate support leg member nested generally horizontally within said support arm channel in said stored position, having a first end pivotally connected with said support arm channel and having a second end pivotal outwardly and vertically downwardly from and generally perpendicular to said support arm channel in its said outwardly extended position to engage a floor surface and support said support arm channel and said seat a distance above the surface of the floor;
• in the stored position, said support leg member disposed horizontally inside said support arm channel and said support arm channel disposed horizontally inside said outer tubular member;
• and
• to deploy said seat attachment, said support arm channel and said seat is pulled outwardly a distance from said outer tubular member to assume a horizontal position coaxial with said outer tubular member, said second end of said support leg member is pivoted outwardly and downwardly from said support arm channel to assume a vertical position perpendicular to said support arm channel, and said seat is pivoted from its generally vertical position to its horizontal deployed position.
