Benefits of technology

The patent describes a furniture assembly with a worksurface and multiple support elements that are connected using a special construction. The worksurface itself locks the support elements together by stopping the projections from moving in the slots. This results in a more stable and secure furniture assembly.

Problems solved by technology

The patent text discusses the problem of traditional student desks being limited to only one configuration, either in rows and columns or in a huddle formation. This results in the need for separate worksurface support structures for each configuration, which can be costly. The technical problem is to create a worksurface support structure that can support the worksurface of a student desk used in both conventional and huddle formations.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]A student desk that is suited for educational settings, such as schools, learning centers, libraries, universities, corporate or other institutional training centers is described. The present disclosure is also applicable to other types of desks, including computer desks, writing desks, lecterns, and office workstations, as well as other furniture assemblies, such as dining tables, coffee tables, end tables, training tables, and the like.

[0023]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a desk 10 in accordance with the present invention includes a planar worksurface or table top 12 having a generally trapezoidal shape defined by a plurality of curved edges or walls 14. The curved walls 14 are connected to one another by soft corners 16. Alternately, the worksurface 12 may be constructed to have linear walls that connect to one another at hard corners. Further, it is contemplated that the worksurface 12 may have other shapes. Additionally, the worksurface 12 may include various ornamental feat...

Abstract

A furniture assembly has a worksurface and worksurface support structure. The furniture assembly is constructed such that the worksurface support structure is not locked into a desired configuration until the worksurface is secured to the worksurface support structure. The worksurface support structure includes a pair of leg assemblies between which a panel extends. The angular relationship between the leg assemblies and the panel can be adjusted, and engagement of the worksurface with the leg assemblies and the panel functions to maintain the panel in engagement with the worksurface and to lock the position of the leg assemblies relative to the panel.
