With reference to
The outer panel (12) is hinged to the front frame (11) and has a front side, a rear side, a top, an inner surface, at least one drawer holder (121) and multiple pin holes (122). The front side of the outer panel is hinged to the rear side of the outer leg (111) of the front frame (11). The at least one drawer holder (121) is mounted on the inner surface of the outer panel (12). The pin holes (122) are defined through the outer panel (12) near the top.
With further reference to
The rear frame (14) is hinged to the outer panel (12) and comprises an outer leg (141), an inner leg (142), a connecting bar (143) and may have at least one drawer bar (144). The outer leg (141) has a front side hinged to the rear side of the outer panel (12). The inner leg (142) has a front side, at least one hanging groove (145) and at least one hanging holder (146). The at least one hanging groove (145) is defined in the front side of the inner leg (14). The at least one hanging holder (146) is mounted in the at least one hanging groove (145) respectively, corresponds to and is engaged with the at least one rear hanging holder (132) of the inner panel (13). The connecting bar (143) is mounted between the outer and inner legs (141, 142) of the rear frame (14). The at least one drawer bar (144) is mounted between the outer and inner legs (141, 142) of the rear frame.
To assemble the inner panel (13) to the front and rear frames (11, 14), the front and rear frames (11, 14) can be pivoted relative to the outer panel (12) to adjust the distance between the inner legs (112, 142) of the front and rear frames (11, 14) for conveniently hanging the inner panel (13) onto the frames (11,14).
With further reference to
The rear board (22) is curved and has two sides, a top, a bottom, multiple lugs (221), multiple recesses (222) and multiple through holes (223). The lugs (221) are formed at intervals on both sides of the rear board (22). The recesses (222) are defined between the lugs (221). The multiple through holes (222) are defined through the lugs (221) near the top and the bottom of the rear board (22).
The side boards (23) are mounted detachably and respectively on the sides of the front and rear boards (21, 22) and each has two sides, an outer surface, a top, a bottom, multiple lugs (231), multiple recesses (232), multiple through holes (233), a groove (234) and a drawer holder (235). The lugs (231) are formed at intervals on both sides of the side board (23) and correspond to and are inserted into the recesses (212, 222) on corresponding sides of the front and rear boards (21, 22). The recesses (232) are defined between the lugs (231) and engaged with the lugs (211, 221) on the corresponding sides of the front and rear boards (21, 22). The multiple through holes (233) are defined through the lugs (231) near the top and the bottom and aligned with the through holes (233) in the corresponding sides of the front and rear boards (21, 22). The groove (234) is defined near the bottom of the side board (23) and is aligned with the groove (214) of the front board (21). The drawer holder (235) corresponds to one of the drawer holders (121, 133) of the pedestal (10) and is mounted on the outer surface of the side board (23).
The bottom board (24) is mounted in the grooves (214, 234) of the front board (21) and the side boards (23) and abuts with the rear board (22).
The pivots (25) are inserted into the through holes (213, 223, 233) of the front, side and rear boards (21, 22, 23) to combine the front, side and rear boards (21, 22, 23) together. The face board (26) is attached on the rear board (22) and has a handle (261).
The top board (30) is mounted detachably on the pedestals (10) and has a bottom surface, two ridges (31) and multiple pins (32). The ridges (31) are formed on the bottom surface of the top board (30), correspond respectively to the pedestals (10) and each has multiple pin holes (311). The pin holes (311) in the ridge (31) are aligned with the pin holes (122, 134) in the outer and inner panels (12, 13) of a corresponding one of the pedestals (10). The pins (32) are mounted in the pin holes (311, 12, 13) in the ridges and the outer and inner panels (12, 13) of the pedestals (10).
With further reference to
The at least one central drawer (50) is thin relative to the pedestal drawers (20) and is mounted between the central drawer holders (137) on the inner panels (13) of the pedestals (10).
When the collapsible desk is assembled, all components of the collapsible desk can be combined together without using tools. Thus, assembling the collapsible desk in accordance with the present invention is easy and convenient. In addition, all components of the collapsible desk are flat and can be packed into a small space. Accordingly, when the collapsible desk is disassembled, the collapsible desk can be transported and stored easily and cost therefor can be reduced.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
