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.

Abstract

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.
