Abstract
A convertible desk comprises a first furniture module, a second furniture module, and a bridge for joining the modules together. The first module maybe a file cart, and the second module may be a chest of drawers. Notches are formed at the upper ends of the modules, and the bridge fits into notches to form a continuous planar horizontal surface for a desk top. Connections, such as depending pins, and cavities to receive the pins, are located at each corner of the bridge, to retain the bridge in a fixed position. When the user wishes to covert the desk to another piece of furniture, such as a storage unit, the pins on the bridge are removed from the cavities and the bridge is set aside so that the modules are free to be re-arranged in an abutting or side-by-side manner.
Description
- The invention relates to a convertible desk comprising a first furniture module, a second furniture module, and a bridge for joining the modules together to form a desk. Upon removal of the bridge, the furniture modules can be re-arranged to function as a different piece of furniture.
- Furniture units that may be reconfigured to serve two, or more, purposes are known. To illustrate, U.S. Pat. No. 6,422,668, granted Jul. 23, 2002 to James O. Kelley et al., shows a combination credenza and desk.
- More specifically, Kelley et al. discloses a furniture unit that comprises a closed-face credenza (10) that folds out to form an L-shaped desk (11). The unit comprises a stationary desk having a partially open front, with a kneehole opening (84). A moveable return (13) is pivotally mounted at one side of the desk; the return comprises a vertical face panel (34) and a work surface (42) mounted at a rear side of the face panel, as shown in
FIG. 2 . The return is pivoted between a closed portion, wherein the face panel covers the open portion of the front of the desk and the return is concealed behind the face panel, as shown inFIG. 1 , and an open position wherein the face panel is pivoted outward from the front of the desk, exposing the kneehole opening in the desk. - In accordance with the principles of the invention, applicant discloses a convertible desk comprising a first furniture module, a second furniture module, and a bridge for joining the modules together to form a desk with a knee-hole opening. The modules are versatile and may assume diverse forms. In the preferred embodiment, the first module assumes the form of a file storage unit and the second unit assumes the form of a chest of drawers. The bridge is a rectangular member that defines, with the first and second modules, a continuous, unbroken, horizontal plane that serves as a desk top.
- The first and second furniture modules are mounted on casters or rollers. Consequently, when the bridge is removed from engagement with the first and second modules, one module may be moved relative to the other module, so that the modules are in an abutting relationship. The modules, when re-arranged in such manner, function as a storage assembly, as contrasted with a desk.
- A first notch is located at the intersection of the side wall of the first furniture module and the top of the first module. A second notch is located at the intersection of the side wall and the top of the second module. The thickness of the bridge corresponds to the depth of the notches, so that the bridge fits completely into the notches.
- Pins, or other mechanical fasteners, depend from the bridge, at each corner thereof. Matching cavities are defined at the upper ends of the side walls of the first and second furniture modules. The pins depend downwardly into the cavities to lock the bridge in a fixed position, and define a desk. The pins are withdrawn from the cavities when one wishes to convert the desk into a different piece of furniture, such as a storage unit.
- The convertible desk is versatile, and allows the user to reconfigure same to meet the limited spatial arrangement requirements of a dormitory, urban apartment, or office. The ability to re-configure the desk to meet other demands, without resorting to tools for joining the module together, is a significant advantage of the invention.
