DESK WITH DUAL DESKTOPS

The desk with dual desktops includes a first desk member having a first desktop and a number of desk legs beneath the first desktop, and a second desk member joined to a side of the first desk member and having a number of desk legs, a number of support beams on top of the desk legs, and a second desktop above and supported by the support beams. The first desk member and the second desk member can be arranged into an L shape, a T shape, an I shape, or an inverted L shape to suit user's need. By the support beams, the second desktop has an adjustable height that may be selectively configured to be at a different height from that of the first desktop.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention is generally related to desks, and more particular to a desk with dual desktops where one of them has an adjustable height.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

As shown inFIG.8, a conventional desk has a desktop and some desk legs supporting and raising the desktop to an appropriate height so that various works such as writing, drawing, operating computer, etc., can be conducted on the desktop.

However, the conventional desk usually cannot have its desktop shape and height conveniently adjusted to fit a user's different working conditions and postures.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To obviate the foregoing shortcomings, the present invention teaches a novel desk having dual desktops, where one of them may be selectively adjusted for different heights.

The desk having dual desktops includes:

a first desk member having a first desktop and a number of desk legs beneath the first desktop; and

a second desk member joined to a side of the first desk member and having a number of desk legs, a number of support beams on top of the desk legs, and a second desktop above and supported by the support beams. By the support beams, the second desktop has an adjustable height that may be selectively configured to be at a different height from that of the first desktop.

The first desk member and the second desk member can be arranged into an L shape, a T shape, an I shape, or an inverted L shape to suit user's need. The second desktop can be raised to different heights and apparatuses like a notebook computer, a printer, a projector, or a screen, can be placed on the second desktop. A user can switch between a seated position to a standing one from time to time to reduce the risk of chronic health problem resulted from sitting too long.

A number of positioning notches are provided on a bottom side of the second desktop. Each support beam has a positioning block configured on a top end. By embedding the positioning blocks of the support beams into the appropriate notches of the second desktop, the second desktop may be supported at different heights above the desk legs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As shown inFIG.1, a desk with dual desktops includes:

a first desk member1having a first desktop11and a number of desk legs12beneath the first desktop11; and

a second desk member2joined to a side of the first desk member1and having a number of desk legs21, a number of support beams22on top of the desk legs21, and a second desktop23above and supported by the support beams22. By the support beams22, the second desktop23has an adjustable height that may be selectively configured to be at a different height from that of the first desktop11.

The second desk member2is joined to a side of the first desk member1so that the second desktop23and the first desktop11selectively form a L shape, a T shape, a I shape, or an inverted L shape of equal or different heights to fit the application setting. For example, during a meeting, the second desktop23and the first desktop11can form into a T shape or an I shape, and a projector4is placed on the second desktop23of a greater height. Alternatively, depending on a user's preference, the first desk member1can be joined to a left or right side of the first desk member1, as shown inFIGS.4,5, and6.

With the first desk member1and the second desk member2, they can be arranged into an L shape, a T shape, an I shape, or an inverted L shape to suit a user3's need. The second desktop23can be raised to different heights and apparatuses like a notebook computer, a printer, a projector4, or a screen5, can be placed on the second desktop23, as shown inFIGS.2to4. The user3can switch between a seated position to a standing one from time to time to reduce the risk of chronic health problem resulted from sitting too long.

There are a number of positioning notches231on a bottom side of the second desktop23, and each support beam22has a top end configured with a positioning block221. By embedding the positioning blocks221of the support beams22into the appropriate notches231of the second desktop23, the second desktop23may be supported at different heights above the desk legs21.
