Abstract
A seating implement has a base frame, a sitting surface, a back rest, and a tablet. The tablet is fastened to a support element provided on one side of the base frame by way of a linkage mechanism, so that the table can swivel between a substantially horizontal position of use and a position of non-use. The tablet is dimensioned to support a notebook computer and the support element has a section running in a substantially horizontal plane, on which the tablet is pivotally fastened by way of the linkage mechanism. The substantially horizontal section is oriented at an angle to the direction of the sitting surface, and the tablet can swivel about an axis substantially parallel to this section.
Claims10
A seating implement, comprising:
- a base frame, a sitting surface mounted to said base frame and defining a forward direction, and a back rest mounted to said base frame;
- a support element mounted laterally to a side of said base frame, said support element being integrated with said base frame in a permanently fixed position relative to said base frame, said support element including a skewed section running in a substantially horizontal plane and being skewed at a permanently fixed angle relative to the forward direction of said sitting surface;
- a tablet pivotally mounted by way of a linkage mechanism to said support element between a substantially horizontal position of use and a position of non-use;
- said tablet being dimensioned to support a notebook computer, and said tablet being fastened, by way of said linkage mechanism, to said skewed section of said support element, and said tablet being pivotable about an axis substantially parallel to said skewed section.
A seating implement, comprising:
- a base frame, a sitting surface mounted to said base frame and defining a forward direction, and a back rest mounted to said base frame;
- a support element mounted laterally to a side of said base frame, said support element being integrated with said base frame in a permanently fixed position relative to said base frame, said support element including a substantially horizontal skewed section skewed at a permanently fixed angle relative to the forward direction of said sitting surface;
- a tablet pivotally mounted by way of a linkage mechanism to said support element between a substantially horizontal position of use and a position of non-use;
- said tablet being dimensioned to support a notebook computer, and said tablet being fastened, by way of said linkage mechanism, to said substantially horizontal skewed section of said support element and said tablet being pivotable about an axis substantially parallel to said substantially horizontal skewed section;
- said linkage mechanism including a turn limiting device configured to limit a pivoting motion of said tablet between the position of use and the position of non-use.
A seating implement, comprising:
- a base frame, a sitting surface mounted to said base frame and defining a forward direction, and a back rest mounted to said base frame, said base frame including at least one cross member below said seating surface;
- a support element mounted laterally to a side of said base frame, said support element being integrated with said base frame in a fixed position, said support element being directly connected to said at least one cross member, and said support element including a skewed section running in a substantially horizontal plane and being skewed at a given angle relative to the forward direction of said sitting surface;
- a tablet pivotally mounted by way of a linkage mechanism to said support element between a substantially horizontal position of use and a position of non-use;
- said tablet being dimensioned to support a notebook computer, and said tablet being fastened, by way of said linkage mechanism, to said skewed section of said support element, and said tablet being pivotable about an axis substantially parallel to said skewed section.
