Benefits of technology
The present invention is a device that can be attached to an existing chair and used as a standing desk. It is portable, easy to install and uninstall, and can be manufactured at a lower cost point. The device eliminates the need for a separate standing table or desk, saving space in the room or office. It also allows for efficient transition from working in a standing or upright position to a seated position on a lap desk. Overall, the device provides a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective solution for users who need to switch between sitting and standing positions during the workday.
Problems solved by technology
This poses a risk for developing physical strain and overuse injuries.
Further, sitting for long periods may cause mental fatigue.
For instance, the standing desks disclosed in '686 Publication and '013 Publication include complex, costly mechanisms that allow the user to raise and lower the table or desk platform electronically, mechanically, or hydraulically.
Further, the standing desks occupy a significant amount of space, specifically floor surface area, within an office or room.

A device providing multiple-functionality for use as a standing desk, podium, or a lap desk is disclosed. The device includes a platform and a support arm. The first end of the support arm hingedly connects underneath the platform. In one implementation, the device includes a strap extending from underneath the platform and connecting the support arm. The strap controls the angle of the support arm with respect to the platform and ensures the support arm stays in position. The device further includes a lip extending underneath one end of the platform. The lip mounts over the top of one side of a backrest of a chair. The other end of the support arm rests against opposite side of the backrest of the chair, causing the platform to mount substantially parallel to the ground and substantially perpendicular to the backrest of chair to use the platform as a standing desk. In one implementation, the support arm collapses under the platform, thereby allowing the platform for use as a lap desk.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application claims benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 962,528, filed Jan. 17, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present invention relates to the technical field of furniture. More specifically, the present invention relates to the technical field of a device that can be used as a desk while standing or sitting.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]People working on a computer sit for long periods of time each day. This poses a risk for developing physical strain and overuse injuries. Further, sitting for long periods may cause mental fatigue.[0004]There are several styles of desks, and often a user requires more than one style of desk depending on the specified task and environment. To conserve space, some users prefer small desks platforms, rather than large, traditional desks or workstations. Also referred to as lap desks...
