Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention
  • The present invention is generally related to desks, and more particular to a desk with dual desktops where one of them has an adjustable height.
    • (b) Description of the Prior Art
  • As shown in FIG. 8 , a conventional desk has a desktop and some desk legs supporting and raising the desktop to an appropriate height so that various works such as writing, drawing, operating computer, etc., can be conducted on the desktop.
  • However, the conventional desk usually cannot have its desktop shape and height conveniently adjusted to fit a user's different working conditions and postures.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • To obviate the foregoing shortcomings, the present invention teaches a novel desk having dual desktops, where one of them may be selectively adjusted for different heights.
  • The desk having dual desktops includes:
  • a first desk member having a first desktop and a number of desk legs beneath the first desktop; and
  • a second desk member joined to a side of the first desk member and having a number of desk legs, a number of support beams on top of the desk legs, and a second desktop above and supported by the support beams. By the support beams, the second desktop has an adjustable height that may be selectively configured to be at a different height from that of the first desktop.
  • The first desk member and the second desk member can be arranged into an L shape, a T shape, an I shape, or an inverted L shape to suit user's need. The second desktop can be raised to different heights and apparatuses like a notebook computer, a printer, a projector, or a screen, can be placed on the second desktop. A user can switch between a seated position to a standing one from time to time to reduce the risk of chronic health problem resulted from sitting too long.
  • A number of positioning notches are provided on a bottom side of the second desktop. Each support beam has a positioning block configured on a top end. By embedding the positioning blocks of the support beams into the appropriate notches of the second desktop, the second desktop may be supported at different heights above the desk legs.
  • The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
  • Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram showing a desk with dual desktops according to a first embodiment of the present invention where desk members of the desk are arranged into an L shape.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective diagram showing a user sitting and working on the desk with dual desktops of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective diagram showing a user standing and working on the desk with dual desktops of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective diagram showing a desk with dual desktops according to a second embodiment of the present invention where desk members of the desk are arranged into a T shape in a conference setting.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective diagram showing a desk with dual desktops according to a third embodiment of the present invention where desk members of the desk are arranged into an I shape.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective diagram showing a desk with dual desktops according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention where desk members of the desk are arranged into an inverted L shape.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing how a desktop is adjusted for different heights.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective diagram showing a conventional desk.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 , a desk with dual desktops includes:
  • a first desk member 1 having a first desktop 11 and a number of desk legs 12 beneath the first desktop 11; and
  • a second desk member 2 joined to a side of the first desk member 1 and having a number of desk legs 21, a number of support beams 22 on top of the desk legs 21, and a second desktop 23 above and supported by the support beams 22. By the support beams 22, the second desktop 23 has an adjustable height that may be selectively configured to be at a different height from that of the first desktop 11.
  • The second desk member 2 is joined to a side of the first desk member 1 so that the second desktop 23 and the first desktop 11 selectively form a L shape, a T shape, a I shape, or an inverted L shape of equal or different heights to fit the application setting. For example, during a meeting, the second desktop 23 and the first desktop 11 can form into a T shape or an I shape, and a projector 4 is placed on the second desktop 23 of a greater height. Alternatively, depending on a user's preference, the first desk member 1 can be joined to a left or right side of the first desk member 1, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 .
  • With the first desk member 1 and the second desk member 2, they can be arranged into an L shape, a T shape, an I shape, or an inverted L shape to suit a user 3's need. The second desktop 23 can be raised to different heights and apparatuses like a notebook computer, a printer, a projector 4, or a screen 5, can be placed on the second desktop 23, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 . The user 3 can switch between a seated position to a standing one from time to time to reduce the risk of chronic health problem resulted from sitting too long.
  • There are a number of positioning notches 231 on a bottom side of the second desktop 23, and each support beam 22 has a top end configured with a positioning block 221. By embedding the positioning blocks 221 of the support beams 22 into the appropriate notches 231 of the second desktop 23, the second desktop 23 may be supported at different heights above the desk legs 21.
  • While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the claims of the present invention.
