Description

Modular desk{MODULAR DESK}

The present invention relates to a modular desk, and more specifically, to a modular desk in which a plurality of desks can be attached and detached from each other to form tables of various shapes.

A desk is a piece of furniture used to support reading or writing. It is largely composed of a top and legs, and depending on the type, a separate storage space may be provided. At this time, desks are widely used for learning, and multiple desks are placed so that a large number of people can study in the classroom. In general, each desk is individually utilized, but in the case of group activities such as discussions or discussion classes, each desk is gathered in one place and multiple desks are connected to each other.

Connecting a plurality of desks with conventional square-shaped tops limits the use of space in the classroom, makes it very inconvenient to connect the desks, and even if connected, a space is formed at the connection between the desks, which can be used for discussion and discussion. There was a problem of lack of concentration and distraction during discussions. And, even if desks are placed as close to each other as possible to avoid creating a space between them, the connected desks take up too much space in the room, which also leads to distraction and lack of concentration during discussions. A problem arose in which the effectiveness of education through discussion could not be achieved. Therefore, such conventional desks have the problem of not being able to properly respond to various recent forms of education, such as utilizing classroom space and combining lecture-style education with discussion and discussion-style classes.

Accordingly, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1303917 discloses a multipurpose desk for students, as shown in Figure 1, which is normally used as a personal desk and can be connected to form a conference table when necessary. The multipurpose desk for students in Figure 1 is comprised of an individual desk (3) and a connecting table (5). In normal times, the individual desk (3) is used as a personal desk, and during group activities such as discussions or meetings, the connecting table (5) is used. ) is characterized in that a conference table can be formed by connecting a number of individual desks around the center.

Although the number of fixtures in the classroom can be reduced through desks that can be used for both individual and group purposes as shown above, if a separate connecting table is required to form a conference table, the connecting table can be stored during individual activities. There is a limit to the need for separate space. In addition, because existing square-shaped desks can also be placed in contact with each other, there is little need to change existing desks in actual educational settings, making it difficult to actually apply and utilize desks for both individual and group use.
