Folding and portable desk

摘要

A collapsible work station has a working surface with an opposing top and bottom. First and second corner legs are rotatably connected to the bottom surface at each of four corners. Each leg has a first folded position against the bottom and a second extended position perpendicular to the bottom. The first legs are shorter than the second legs. An adjustable length, central support leg is rotatably connected to the bottom surface and has a first folded position adjacent the bottom and a second extended position perpendicular to the bottom. The central leg rests on a first support surface while different combinations of the corner legs are extended to rest upon a second support surface such as a bed, to provide a stable work station.

主权项

1. A collapsible work station, comprising:
a generally rectangular working surface having a flat top surface and an opposing bottom surface; first and second legs rotatably connected to the bottom surface at four corners of the working surface, each leg having a first folded position immediately adjacent the bottom surface and a second extended position extending at an angle of about 80-120 degrees from the bottom surface of the corner at which the leg is fastened, the first legs having a first length and the second legs having a second length with the first length being shorter than the second length; a central support leg rotatably connected to the bottom surface and having a first folded position immediately adjacent the bottom surface and a second extended position extending at an angle of about 90 degrees from the bottom surface, the central support leg having an adjustable length which length is greater than either the first or second lengths and being connected to the bottom surface within the area bounded by the corner legs and offset from the corner legs; a plurality of the first and second corner legs each being connected to a different rotation limiting mechanism to hold the rotation of each of the plurality of the first and second corner legs in the second position during use; and a rotational limiting mechanism connected to the central support leg and the bottom surface to hold the central support leg in the second position during use.
