Patent ID: 7798075

Claim:
A knockdown desk comprising a diaphragm including a top, a bottom, ends, and vertical faces; at least two supports, each including a top, a bottom, edges, and two hingedly-connected panels defining vertical opposing faces; and at least one top surface including a front, a back, sides, and two down-turned edges, said at least one top surface being supported by the at least two supports, where said vertical faces of said diaphragm are clamped by said two hingedly-connected panels of said at least two supports when said two hingedly-connected panels are in a closed position in which each of the two hingedly-connected panels align with one-another thereby defining a substantially single vertical plane, where said diaphragm is removable from said at least two supports when said two hingedly-connected panels are in an open position in which said two hingedly-connected panels are at an obtuse angle relative to each other, where said two down-turned edges of said at least one top surface restrain said at least two supports when said two hingedly-connected panels are in the closed position, where said two down-turned edges of said at least one top surface are restrained from orthogonal transverse movement by said at least two supports, where said diaphragm is clamped by said two hingedly-connected panels of said at least two supports at the ends of said diaphragm, and where said diaphragm includes fixtures to engage and interlock with said at least two supports.
