Adjustable desk platform

摘要

An adjustable desk platform can include: an upper platform defining a substantially planar work surface; a base located beneath the upper platform, the base defining a bottom surface without legs that is adapted to sit on an existing desk; first and second sets of arms coupling the upper platform to the base, wherein the first and second sets of arms are adapted for movement of the upper platform substantially in parallel with the base between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position; and a user-operable locking mechanism associated with the upper platform, the locking mechanism adapted to releasably lock the upper platform in the fully raised position, and in at least one intermediate position between the fully raised position and the fully lowered position. Other features and embodiments are discussed.

1. An adjustable desk platform comprising:
an upper platform defining a substantially planar work surface, the upper platform defining a recess; a base located beneath the upper platform, the base having a bottom that is adapted to sit on an existing desk; and first and second sets of arms coupling the upper platform to the base, wherein the first and second sets of arms are adapted for movement of the upper platform substantially in parallel with the base between a raised position and a lowered position; a locking mechanism associated with the upper platform, the locking mechanism adapted to releasably lock the upper platform in the raised position, and in at least one intermediate position between the raised position and the lowered position, the locking mechanism comprising:
a first anchor biased into a locked position to immobilize the first set of arms;a second anchor biased into a locked position to immobilize the second set of arms;a first handle user-operable to move the first anchor into an unlocked position to permit movement of the first set of arms; anda second handle user-operable to move the second anchor into an unlocked position to permit movement of the second set of arms; the adjustable desk platform further comprising:
a keyboard tray suspended below the recess in the upper platform, wherein the keyboard tray defines first and second lateral edges;a first support bracket extending between the first lateral edge of the keyboard tray and a first lateral side of the recess; anda second support bracket extending between the second lateral edge of the keyboard tray and a second lateral side of the recess;wherein the surface area of the keyboard tray is less than one half of the surface area of the upper platform.
