Abstract:
1. A desk extension, comprising: a base panel having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a linkage attachment edge, and a clamp extension edge opposite the linkage attachment edge; a desk clamp assembly extending from the base panel; a linkage pivotally extending from the linkage attachment edge of the base panel, the linkage having a base panel end and a second panel end opposite the base panel end; at least one base panel limit stop disposed upon the linkage, the base panel limit stop contacting the first surface of the base panel to limit angular rotation of the linkage when deployed; a second panel pivotally extending from the second panel end of the linkage, the second panel having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a linkage attachment edge; at least one second panel limit stop disposed upon the second panel end of the linkage, the second panel limit stop contacting the linkage attachment edge of the second panel to limit angular rotation of the second panel when deployed, the base panel and the second panel being parallel to one another when the base panel limit stop engages the base panel and the second panel limit stop engages the second panel; wherein the base panel has opposed first and second lateral edges extending between the linkage attachment edge and the clamp extension edge; the desk clamp assembly comprises: first and second clamp arm locks disposed upon the first and second lateral edges of the base panel, respectively; first and second clamp arms pivotally extending from the first and second clamp arm locks, respectively, the clamp arm locks selectively locking the clamp arms at a predetermined angle relative to the base panel, each of the clamp arms having a distal end; a desk attachment plate extending across the distal ends of the clamp arms, the clamp arms defining a plane, the desk attachment plate being disposed in a plane parallel to the plane of the clamp arms; a clamp attachment plate extending orthogonally from the desk attachment plate; at least one clamp having: an elongate bolt having a base portion pivotally extending from the clamp attachment plate normal thereto, and a threaded clamp portion extending normal to the base portion; a clamp finger slidably disposed upon the clamp portion of the bolt, the clamp finger being disposed parallel to the desk attachment plate when the clamp portion of the bolt is pivoted normal to the desk attachment plate; and an adjustably threaded fastener disposed upon the clamp portion of the bolt, the fastener adjusting the clamp finger relative to the desk attachment plate, the clamp finger and bolt being selectively pivotal to a position parallel to the desk attachment plate for storage.
