- The invention generally relates to a desk with a slidable drawer assembly. More particularly, the invention relates to a desk with a drawer assembly that is able to be selectively positioned by a user.
- Conventional desks are well known in the art. Conventional desks often have one or more drawers disposed underneath the top panels of the desks for storing various office supplies, such as writing utensils, etc. However, these one or more drawers are typically positioned in a fixed location underneath the desk top panel, which may interfere with the manner in which a user wishes to use the desk. For example, a user may wish to position his or her legs under a particular end portion of the desk, but the user is unable to do so because the one or more drawers of the desk occupy the leg space of the desk. As such, because of the fixed location of the one or more drawers in a conventional desk, the user of the desk is not able to enjoy the flexibility of using the desk in the manner in which he or she so desires.

Advantageously, in the illustrative embodiment, the circularcompressible pads 18 support theglass panel 10 on theperipheral frame 16 without scratching the bottom surface of theglass panel 10. Referring again toFIG. 8 , it can be seen that the longitudinal ends of thetabletop frame 16 are provided with a plurality ofcylindrical bosses 20 protruding therefrom (e.g., three (3)bosses 20 on each end) for attaching theside tabletop members 12 to the longitudinal ends of thetabletop frame 16. In the illustrative embodiment ofFIG. 8 , it can be seen that the inner side of eachside tabletop member 12 is provided with a plurality ofcircular recesses 14 that correspond to thecylindrical bosses 20 protruding from the ends of the tabletop frame 16 (i.e., thecylindrical bosses 20 are inserted into thecircular recesses 14 to attach theside tabletop members 12 to the tabletop frame 16). In the illustrative embodiment, thetabletop frame 16 is coupled to the pair of theleg members 32 by means of theside tabletop members 12. Theside tabletop members 12 are secured to the top ends of theleg members 32 by fasteners securing the top mountingplates 38 of thelegs 32 to the bottom surfaces of theside tabletop members 12. - As shown in the illustrative embodiment of
FIGS. 1-6 , to increase the structural rigidity of thedesk 100, thedesk 100 may be provided with a rearlongitudinal support member 30 that extends between theleg members 32, and a pair of rearsupport strut members 24 that are connected between the rearlongitudinal support member 30 and the rear longitudinal side of thetabletop frame 16. More specifically, with combined reference to the illustrative embodiment depicted inFIGS. 4 and 8 , thelower end 28 of eachstrut member 24 is attached to the longitudinal support member 30 (e.g., by a fastener in the form of a screw), and theupper end 26 of eachstrut member 24 is attached to the rear longitudinal side of the tabletop frame 16 (e.g., by a fastener in the form of a screw). As shown inFIG. 4 , thestrut member 24 may be arranged in a V-configuration so as to add structural rigidity to thedesk 100. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 ,longitudinal support member 30 is attached to the rear bottom portions of the legdiagonal members 34 in the illustrative embodiment (e.g., by fasteners in the form of a screws). - Now, with reference primarily to
FIGS. 8-12 , theslidable drawer assembly 40 of theillustrative desk 100 will be described in detail. As best shown inFIGS. 8 and 9 , in the illustrative embodiment, the support carriage of theslidable drawer assembly 40 generally comprises a pair ofside frame members drawer frame members panel 82. The upper and lowerdrawer frame members slidable drawer members FIG. 9 , each of theside frame members slidable drawer assembly 40 is in the form of a rectangular annular frame member with a pair ofrollers 48 mounted to the top of eachframe member roller brackets 46. Referring again toFIG. 9 , it can be seen that the upperdrawer frame member 50 comprises arear frame portion 52 and a pair ofside frame portions 54 attached to therear frame portion 52. In the illustrative embodiment, the upperdrawer frame member 50 further comprises a pair of oppositely disposedside mounting plates 56, which are provided with a plurality ofcylindrical fastener bosses 58 for securing the upperdrawer frame member 50 to theside frame members 42, 44 (e.g., as shown inFIG. 9 , eachside frame member cylindrical fastener bosses 58 of the mounting plates 56). Also, as shown in the illustrative embodiment ofFIG. 9 , the lowerdrawer frame members 80 may be attached to thebottom wall 82 of the support carriage, and then thebottom wall 82 of the support carriage may be secured to the bottom surface of eachannular frame member side frame portions 54 of the upperdrawer frame member 50 and the lowerdrawer frame members 80 may each have a L-shaped cross section so as to form side track members for the upper and lowerslidable drawers - Turning again to the illustrative embodiment of
FIGS. 9 and 10 , it can be seen that thedrawer assembly 40 comprises a first slidableupper drawer member 60 and a second slidablelower drawer member 70. The first slidableupper drawer member 60 is elevated above the second slidablelower drawer member 70 by the upperdrawer frame member 50. In the illustrative embodiment, the slidableupper drawer member 60 comprises a pair ofsidewalls 62, arear wall 64, afront wall 66, and ahorizontal bottom wall 68 attached to the peripheralupstanding walls rear walls upper drawer member 60 are attached to, and disposed approximately perpendicular to the pair ofparallel sidewalls 62 of theupper drawer member 60. In the illustrative embodiment, thefront wall 66 of theupper drawer member 60 has a height that is less than therear wall 64, which allows papers or office supplies to be placed in theupper drawer member 60 without sliding thedrawer 60 out from the support carriage of theslidable drawer assembly 40. Similarly, in the illustrative embodiment, the slidablelower drawer member 70 comprises a pair ofsidewalls 72, arear wall 74, afront wall 76, and ahorizontal bottom wall 78 attached to the peripheralupstanding walls rear walls lower drawer member 70 are attached to, and disposed approximately perpendicular to the pair ofparallel sidewalls 72 of thelower drawer member 70. Similar to theupper drawer member 60, in the illustrative embodiment, thefront wall 76 of thelower drawer member 70 has a height that is less than therear wall 74, which allows papers or office supplies to be placed in thelower drawer member 70 without sliding thedrawer 70 out from the support carriage of theslidable drawer assembly 40. In the illustrative embodiment, the upper andlower drawer members slidable drawer assembly 40. The partial heightfront walls lower drawer members drawer members front walls drawer members - Next, with reference primarily to
FIGS. 10-12 , the adjustability of thedrawer assembly 40 of theillustrative desk 100 will be described. As best shown in the cutaway perspective view ofFIG. 12 , thedrawer assembly 40 is suspension-mounted from the pair ofrail members 22 in a slidable manner so thatdrawer assembly 40 is able to be linearly translated back-and-forth on therail members 22 in a longitudinal direction of thedesk 100. For example, as shown inFIG. 11 , thedrawer assembly 40 may be translated to the right end of thedesk 100 along the rail members 22 (as diagrammatically indicated by thearrow 84 inFIG. 11 ) if a user wants to position thedrawer assembly 40 on the right side of thedesk 100. Conversely, as shown inFIG. 12 , thedrawer assembly 40 may be translated to the left end of thedesk 100 along the rail members 22 (as diagrammatically indicated by thearrow 86 inFIG. 12 ) if a user wants to position thedrawer assembly 40 on the left side of thedesk 100. In addition to the rightmost and leftmost positions of thedrawer assembly 40 depicted inFIGS. 11 and 12 , it is to be understood that thedrawer assembly 40 may also be selectively positioned in any intermediate position by the user between the rightmost and leftmost positions depicted inFIGS. 11 and 12 , respectively. After the user has slid thedrawer assembly 40 to its desired position on therail members 22 of thedesk 100, the frictional engagement between therollers 48 and therail members 22 maintains the selected position of thedrawer assembly 40. - In the illustrative embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 3, 4, and 12 , the suspendedrail members 22 are mounted at substantially the same height on theleg members 32 of thedesk 100 such that the suspendedrail members 22 are co-planar to one another (i.e., disposed in the same horizontal plane) and the suspendedrail members 22 have longitudinal axes that are disposed generally parallel to one another. As such, in the illustrative embodiment, the first gap between the first suspendedrail member 22 and the bottom surface of theglass panel 10 ofdesk tabletop rail member 22 and the bottom surface of thedesk tabletop rail members 22 are supported from, and between theleg members 32 of the desk 100 (i.e., the end of eachrail member 22 is mounted to inner side surface of one of theleg members 32. Further, in the illustrative embodiment, the suspendedrail members 22 each have a circular cross section (e.g., the suspendedrail members 22 are each in the form of cylindrical tubular members). As such, in the illustrative embodiment, each of therollers 48 of thedrawer assembly 40 comprises a concave surface that substantially corresponds to a curved outer surface of the circular cross section of the suspendedrail members 22. As best shown inFIGS. 9 and 10 , theroller mounting brackets 46 of the illustrative embodiment are in the form of inverted U-shaped bracket members with the lower ends of the inverted U-shaped bracket members being welded, or otherwise attached, to the top of theframe members roller 48 is attached to oppositely disposed sides of the invertedU-shaped roller bracket 46. As shown inFIG. 10 , in the installed state of thedrawer assembly 40, the cross-section of the suspendedrail members 22 is circumscribed by the invertedU-shaped roller brackets 46,rollers 48, and theframe members drawer assembly 40 cannot be removed from the suspendedrail members 22 unless the suspendedrail members 22 are disengaged from theleg members 32. - In an example embodiment, the majority of the components of the
desk 100 may be formed from a suitable metal, such as steel, except that theside tabletop members 12 and thedrawer members rollers 48 may be formed from a suitable polymeric material, plastic or rubber. Also, the other components, such as thetop panel 10 and thepads 18, may be formed from the example materials described above. - It is readily apparent that the
aforedescribed desk 100, which is provided with theslidable drawer assembly 40, offers numerous advantages. First of all, as described above, theslidable drawer assembly 40 of thedesk 100 is able to be selectively positioned by a user so that the user is able to more flexibly use thedesk 100 in the manner desired by the user. Secondly, theslidable drawer assembly 40 of thedesk 100 is easily adjustable so that a user can position thedrawer assembly 40 in the location that he or she desires without manipulating fasteners or engaging in a complex adjustment process. Finally, theaforedescribed desk 100 with theslidable drawer assembly 40 enhances user comfort and/or customization by allowing the user to selectively adjust the position of thedrawer assembly 40 in a particular location underneath thedesktop drawer assembly 40. - Any of the features or attributes of the above described embodiments and variations can be used in combination with any of the other features and attributes of the above described embodiments and variations as desired. Also, as it is used throughout this disclosure, the conjunction “and/or” means one, or the other, or both.
- Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to a certain embodiment or embodiments, it is apparent that this invention can be embodied in many different forms and that many other modifications and variations are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
- Moreover, while exemplary embodiments have been described herein, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that the exemplary embodiments set forth above are merely illustrative in nature and should not be construed as to limit the claims in any manner. Rather, the scope of the invention is defined only by the appended claims and their equivalents, and not, by the preceding description.
