- (2) a pair of side supports, each one positioned adjacent a different one of said lateral opposite ends;
- (3) fastening means for securing each one of said side supports to at least one of said structural components; and
- (4) adjustable supporting means for engaging each one of said side supports to a different adjacent one of said lateral opposite ends of said shelf member; and
- (c) the interrelationship between said structural components and said monitor support assembly additionally being such that each of said side supports is in contacting association with adjacent portions of a different one of said side walls, and also with said top member, said bottom shelf member, and said back brace member.
- 2. The desk of claim 1 wherein said bottom shelf member is supported in elevated spaced relationship to a surface by a pair of laterally spaced leg members.
- 3. The desk of claim 1 which additionally includes securing means for securing at least one of said structural components to an adjacent room wall member.
- 4. The desk of claim 3 wherein said securing means is threaded, said one structural component is said back brace means, and said room wall member is in module panel.
- 5. The desk of claim 1 wherein, in said monitor support assembly, said shelf member and said side supports are each comprised of wire, and
- (a) said back support portion is integral with said bottom support portion and extends at a fixed angle from the rear edge thereof, and said shelf member includes first and second pairs of opposed shelf support means wherein said first and said second pairs each laterally outwardly extend from a different one of said lateral opposite ends;
- (b) each one of said pair of said supports has a plurality of vertically spaced load bearing members; and
- (c) said adjustable supporting means so engages each member of said first and second pairs of opposed shelf support means with selected ones of said load bearing members; so that said shelf member is adjustably supported in a desired location from said pair side supports under said top member.
- 6. The desk of claim 1 wherein a keyboard support platform is additionally included, said platform being horizontally moveable from a retracted position that is under and adjacent to said top member to an extended position that is adjacent to and forward of a front edge of said top member, and including rail means for accomplishing said horizontal movements slidably.
- 7. The desk of claim 5 wherein said first and second pairs of opposed support means are located in said back support.
- 8. A desk comprising in combination
- (a) structural components comprising:
- (1) a top member having a transparent portion,
- (2) a pair of side walls supporting said top member and defining therebetween a space for a monitor support assembly, each side wall having a bottom edge and a rear edge,
- (3) a bottom shelf member extending laterally and rearwardly between said bottom edges of said side walls,
- (4) a back brace means for supporting said side walls extending laterally across said rear edges of said walls, and
- (5) mounting means for securing said components together;
- (b) a monitor support assembly located generally in said space under said top member and adjacent said side walls comprising:
- (1) a shelf member which includes a bottom support portion and a back support portion and having lateral opposite ends,
- (2) a pair of side supports, each one positioned adjacent a different one of said lateral opposite ends,
- (3) fastening means for securing each one of said side supports a different one of said lateral opposite ends,
- (4) adjustable supporting means for engaging each one of said side supports to a different adjacent one of said lateral opposite ends of said shelf member;
- (c) the interrelationship between said structural components and said monitor support assembly additionally being such that each of said side supports is in contacting association with adjacent portions of a different one of said side walls, and with said top member, said bottom shelf member, and said back brace means;
- (d) said monitor support assembly, said shelf member and said side supports each being comprised of wire, and
- (1) said back support portion being integral with said bottom support portion and extending at a fixed angle from the rear edge thereof, and said shelf member including first and second pairs of opposed shelf support means wherein said first and second pairs each laterally outwardly extend from a different one of said lateral opposite ends,
- (2) each one of said pair of said side supports having a plurality of vertically spaced load bearing members, and
- (3) said adjustable supporting means so engages each member of said first and second pairs of opposed shelf support means with selected ones of said load bearing members, so that said shelf members is adjustably supported in a desired location from said pair of side supports under said top member; and
- (e) said adjustable supporting means each being comprised of a plurality of locking block assemblies, each said locking block assembly comprising:
- (1) a rung block member having a pair of generally vertically spaced, parallel, longitudinally open support grooves defined therein, each support groove extending through said rung block member and being slidably engagable with a different adjacent one of each of two of said load bearing members, and a longitudinally open shelf groove defined therein, said shelf groove extending perpendicuarly relative to said support groove and terminating in said rung block member, and including an overlying channel extending through said rung block member and intersecting one of said grooves, and
- (2) a locking block member having block means for slidable extension through said channel, and guidance means for limiting sliding movement of said locking block member relative to said rung block member, so that, when said locking block member is so engaged with said rung block member, said support grooves and said shelf groove are each closed and said locking block member is secured to wire portions of said shelf member that are seated in said so closed support grooves and shelf groove.
