Abstract
An adjustable lap table, being collapsible, rotatable, and adjustable in three dimensions includes: a base, generally planar in shape and configured for placement upon a user's lap or other flat surface without any additional mounting hardware; a platform generally planar in shape and configured for receipt of an electronic device or book, and configured for use at a plurality of angles, orientations, and rotations relative to the base of the lap table; and an adjustment column assembly disposed between the base and the platform and coupled to the base and the platform, thereby to provide a means to adjust the lap table in three dimensions.
Claims19
An adjustable lap table, collapsible, rotatable, and adjustable in three dimensions, the adjustable lap table comprising:
- a base, generally planar in shape and configured for placement upon a user's lap or other flat surface without any additional mounting hardware;
- a platform generally planar in shape and configured for receipt of an electronic device or book, and configured for use at a plurality of angles, orientations, and rotations relative to the base of the lap table;
- an adjustment column assembly disposed between the base and the platform and coupled to the base and the platform, thereby to provide a means to adjust the lap table in three dimensions;
- a base pivot post disposed upon a top surface of the base;
- and
- a base pivot post channel disposed within the base pivot post in a generally horizontal arrangement and to provide a first axis about which the lap table is adjustable.
An adjustable lap table, collapsible, rotatable, and adjustable in three dimensions, the adjustable lap table comprising:
- a base, generally planar in shape and configured for placement upon a user's lap or other flat surface without any additional mounting hardware;
- a platform generally planar in shape and configured for receipt of an electronic device or book, and configured for use at a plurality of angles, orientations, and rotations relative to the base of the lap table;
- a platform post disposed upon a bottom surface of the platform;
- a rotational disc having a disc aperture in a center portion;
- a platform post aperture disposed within the platform post in a generally vertical arrangement and to provide a second axis about which the lap table is adjustable, thereby to provide 360 degrees of rotation of the platform about the second axis;
- a platform pivot post, disposed immediately below the platform post;
- a platform pivot post horizontal channel disposed within the platform pivot post in a generally horizontal arrangement and to provide a third axis about which the lap table is adjustable;
- a platform pivot post vertical channel disposed with the platform pivot post in a generally vertical arrangement and to provide a means to couple the platform pivot post to the platform post and maintain rotation about both the second axis and the third axis;
- a first knob post and a first knob handle to thread the platform pivot post horizontal channel and by which a user tightens and loosens the first knob handle to adjust the lap table about the third axis;
- a base pivot post disposed upon a top surface of the base;
- a base pivot post channel disposed within the base pivot post in a generally horizontal arrangement and to provide a first axis about which the lap table is adjustable;
- and
- a second knob post and a second knob handle to thread the base pivot post horizontal channel and by which a user tightens and loosens the second knob handle to adjust the lap table about the first axis.
