[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 is a diagram depicting the " the screw jack based height adjustable laptop table "consisting of Height Adjusting Arrangement (HAA) 001, Tilt adjusting arrangement (TAA) 002, and a Supporting Unit (SU) 003. Height Adjusting Arrangement (HAA) 001 comprises jacking mechanism 006, a top platform 100 placed on a Supporting Unit (SU) 003 and mounted on a solid base 200, which allows for the lift of the top platform 100. Supporting unit 003 is a double-cross structure 004 that can be operated by a detachable handle 005. The detachable handle 005, once rotated, advances the screw jack 006 to raise or lower the top platform 100.

[0029] Further, the support structure has twin screw rods operated by a uni-shaft assembly. Once rotated with the lever handle, this uni shaft assembly advances the twin-screw rods available in the tabletop platform on two sides. As the threads on all the screws, rods are precisely engraved, and rods are made of stainless steel. Each thread's length and breadth are designed in such a way that they not only handle the weight but also can give a smooth transition.

[0030] Further, the top platform 100 is a double-layered structure having two separate plates adjoined at one end, with the upper layer 100a having additional pin support for three dimensional adjustment with 0 to 60 degrees tilt. The two layers are closed on one side, and on the other side is an open position. At least one pin, and preferably a pair of pins, are provided, which are movable to an unextended position when the top is in the closed position and in which the pin or pins lies substantially parallel to the top and the base, and one or more extended positions. Each extended position corresponds to an open position of the top. The pin position can be adjusted to tilt the upper panel, and the pin or pins can be conveniently moved over the surface where grooves/slots are made.

[0031] In an embodiment, it is presented that the invention presented henceforth can be used as a laptop stand or a table. The feature of being smoothly height adjustable in non discrete steps is because of custom made screw threads which makes the movement and transition of the screw freely without any jerk. This design of screw threads allows for individual height and comfort based adjustment, unlike the discrete height-adjustable stands/tables available. The screw jack-based design enables the user to maintain the correct posture when working for long hours. The user can quickly re-adjust the height, maintaining personal comfort levels through an easily operatable handle attached to the table's side.
