Desk with tilt-adjustable tops

Abstract

A desk with tilt-adjustable tops includes a stand frame; a front top mounted to an upper front portion of the stand frame via a front tilt control device; and a rear top mounted to an upper rear portion of the stand frame via a rear tilt control device. The stand frame is height-adjustable and has a storage box located below a rear portion of the front top. The front and the rear top may be separately adjusted to different tilt angles best for writing, drawing, or reading at the desk. In normal time, the front and the rear top may be simultaneously restored to a horizontal state or adjusted to the same plane with the storage box invisibly located below the front top, so that the desk is used as a general desk with a flat top.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a desk with front and rear tops that could be separately adjusted to different tilt angles best for writing, reading or drawing at the desk. The front and the rear top may also be adjusted to a horizontal state or locate in the same plane, allowing the desk to serve as a general desk with a flat top. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Conventional desks usually include a one-piece flat top, which has fixed height and inclination. [0003] Since people are different in ages, heights, and figures, the conventional desk with fixed height and inclination does not always satisfy different users. Many users have no choice but force themselves to work at a desk with improper height and suffer sore back and waist from incorrect position sitting in front of the desk. [0004] Particularly, the conventional desk having a generally horizontal top is often associated with the problem of glare and / or reflective light caused by different ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a desk with front and rear tops that could be separately adjusted to different tilt angles best for writing, reading, or drawing, and used as a bookholder for holding documental materials thereon for viewing; or simultaneously adjusted to a horizontal state or the same plane to serve as a general desk with a flat top.

[0010] When it is desired to use the desk of the present invention, the front and the rear top could be separately adjusted to different tilt angles, so that a user could comfortably write, read, or draw at the desk. When it is not necessary to use the desk with the front and the rear top in different tilt angles, the front and the rear top could be restored to the horizontal state or the same plane just as a general flat desk to provide a wide, clean, and orderly top.

[0011] The desk with tilt-adjustable tops according to the present invention also includes a storage box located below a rear portion of the front top. When the front top is pulled forward, the storage box is exposed and a user may conveniently access stationery and other office supplies positioned in the storage box. And, when the front top is rearward pushed, the storage box is invisibly located below the front top again to maintain the whole top of the desk in a wide and neat condition.

Problems solved by technology

Since people are different in ages, heights, and figures, the conventional desk with fixed height and inclination does not always satisfy different users.

Many users have no choice but force themselves to work at a desk with improper height and suffer sore back and waist from incorrect position sitting in front of the desk.

Particularly, the conventional desk having a generally horizontal top is often associated with the problem of glare and / or reflective light caused by different angles of light and smooth paper surface.

The glare and / or reflective light discomforts the user reading or writing at the desk for a prolonged time, and would even adversely affect the user's visual acuity.

In brief, the conventional desk having a one-piece and horizontal top is not suitable for a user to comfortably and conveniently working at the desk.
