Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional office chairs and desks lack adjustability and portability, failing to provide optimal posture support and feasible transport or storage options for users with varying workspace needs.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible desk system with scissor-like elongate members, a pivoting column, and a swivel mechanism that transitions between collapsed and expanded positions, allowing for adjustable height, orientation, and attachment of accessories, while accommodating user posture and mobility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional office chairs and desks are used, then basic workspace functionality is provided, but adjustability for posture and position control is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustability through scissor-like elongate members that allow the desk surface to transition between multiple heights and angles. The seat assembly pivots relative to the support structure, enabling users to adjust seating position and posture dynamically rather than being fixed in a single position.
Solution Approach 2:
The desk system changes physical parameters including height, angle, and orientation of the desk surface through the scissor mechanism. The seat assembly allows adjustment of seating height and angle parameters to accommodate different user sizes and preferences, providing customized ergonomic positioning.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional desks are used, then workspace functionality is provided, but portability and storage options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The desk is divided into separable components including the support structure with scissor-like members, the desk surface, and the integrated seat assembly. This segmentation allows the components to be collapsed together into a compact form for easy storage and transport while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The scissor-like elongate members are designed to nest within each other when collapsed, with the seat assembly and desk surface folding against the support structure. This nesting arrangement minimizes the overall volume when the desk is in storage mode, enhancing portability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional desks are used, then basic workspace is provided, but integration of accessories and customization is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The desk surface includes integrated attachment mechanisms such as grooves or mounting points that can accommodate multiple types of accessories including laptop stands, cup holders, and storage compartments. This universal attachment system allows users to customize the workspace according to their specific needs without requiring separate furniture pieces.

AI summary
A collapsible desk system is provided. The desk system may include first and second elongate members having a common central pivot and being pivotal relative to one another in a scissor-like manner. A seat may be attached to one of the elongate members. A support member may be cooperable with the elongate members to selectively retain the elongate members in one or more orientations. A desk top may be pivotally attached to a column. The members, seat, column, and desk top may be arranged with one another to transition between at least a collapsed and an expanded position. A knee support may be mounted to one of the elongate members. The desk top may define a side face having a groove extending about at least a portion of a perimeter of the desk top and the groove may be sized to receive a first fastener tab of an accessory.
