I. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to an “L” type desk and, more specifically, to a movable “L” type desk that comprises of a main and an extension desks connected with a connection mechanism, the extension desk can change the connecting angle with the main desk, or store under the space of the main desk.
II. Description of the Prior Art
In order to increase the usable area on top of the desks, increase convenience of usage and reduce the bulky desk area, the demand of “L” shape arrangement desks (“L” type desk) in the market is increasing. The design of “L” type desks is to have main and attached desks arranged in “L” shape. If the connection is fixed, the attached desk cannot be put away to save space, the relative angle of the main and attached desks cannot be altered as desire. If the connection is movable, the attached desk can be put away, however most of current designs limit the stretching angle and direction between the main and the attached desks, usually the maximum stretching angle between the main and the attached desks is 90°, the attached desk can stretch toward left of right of the main desk; the attached desk can be stored under the space of the main desk, users cannot alter the angle and direction of the attached desk arbitrarily. Many connection structures of the movable “L” type desk are very complex, the assembly is very time consuming, operation is not simple enough and smooth, the inadequate designs might even cause unstable issues.
It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide a movable “L” type desk, the main desk and the extension desk are connected in single point rotatably, the extension desk connects to the main desk without the angle and direction limitation, the extension desk can rotate to the end of the main desk, form an “L” type with the main desk, for different angles with the main desk or store under the space of the main desk. The structure of the extension desk is simple and strong; users can move, open or store the extension desk easily.
In order to achieve the objective set forth, a movable “L” type desk in accordance with the present invention comprises a main desk that further consists of a main beam with a main leg each on both ends of the main beam and form a rack on floor, a main desk board is on top of the rack; an extension desk consists of an extension beam with an extension leg on one end, the other end of the extension desk connects to one of the main leg of the main desk with a connection mechanism rotatably, a rolling wheel is on the bottom of the extension leg; a connection mechanism consists of a main leg of a main desk with a top and bottom leg, a round shaft is on top of the bottom leg, a hollow connecting tube is installed vertically near the open end of an extension beam, at least one rub-resistant ring is inside the connecting tube, the round shaft passes through the rub-resistant ring, the top of the round shaft passes through the rub-resistant ring and connects to a top ring, a wing board extends from the bottom of the top ring, two board holes are on the wing board, a shaft hole is on the bottom of the top leg for the top ring and top of the round shaft to pass through, a screw tip with thread each is on both ends of the bottom of the top leg to pass the two board holes and fasten with nuts.
The accomplishment of the above-mentioned object of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and its accompanying drawings which disclose illustrative an embodiment of the present invention, and are as follows:
The present invention is composed of a main desk 10, an extension desk 20 and a connection mechanism 30. The functions of each component are described below:
Referring to
The extension desk 20, as shown in
The connection mechanism 30, as shown in
Several supporting beam 40 are vertically installed on top of the main and extension beam 11, 12, as shown in
Based on the structure described above, the main desk 10 and the extension desk 20 connect in single point rotatably, the top leg 131 and the bottom leg 132 of main leg 13 are connected together with the top ring 34, as the other main leg 12, they are all fix shaft; the extension beam 21 rotates along the round shaft 133 with the connecting tube 31, the top and bottom rub-resistant ring 32, 33 without angle limitation. The main desk 10 and the extension desk 20 can connect in all angles; as shown in
The structure of the main and extension desk 10, 20 are simple and strong; one end of the extension desk 20 connects to the main desk 10 with the connection mechanism 30, the other end is supported with the extension leg 22, the extension stretcher 24 and rolling wheel 23 stably, users can move the extension desk 20 open or put away easily.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail, it will be readily understood and appreciated that numerous omissions, changes and additions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
