Example

[0040]The invention is directed to a lectern, as illustrated at 10 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 2-5, lectern 10 generally includes side panels 20, 22, hollow support member 24, and hollow base member 26 assembled in a loop-frame construction. Front panel 28 can be disposed to lectern 10 so as to be removably extended between hollow support member 24 and hollow base member 26.

[0041]Side panels 20, 22 support hollow support member 24 and hollow base member 26 at selected distances above a floor (not shown). Side panels 20, 22 and hollow support member 24 provide support for objects and materials a speaker may use during a presentation and structurally support lectern 10. Side panels 20, 22 and hollow base support member 26 provide support for a speaker to comfortably rest one of his or her feet during a presentation and structurally support lectern 10.

[0042]Hollow support member 24 and hollow base member 26 are disposed between side panels 20, 22 in a manner that reduces the inherent ...

Abstract

A lectern enhances the ability of a speaker to deliver a presentation to an audience. This invention is a lectern with support, base, and two side components assembled in a loop-frame construction. The loop-frame construction of the lectern minimizes the use of material, provides a functional and aesthetic design, and resists shear stress. A removable front panel can be attached to or removed from the loop frame without disassembling or reassembling the lectern.
