1. A desktop, comprising:
- a first desktop portion, comprising a first, substantially planar, upper surface, and a first edge;
a second desktop portion, comprising a second, substantially planar, upper surface, a proximal edge, a distal edge, and two side edges;
a lip; and
a bistable linkage assembly, attached to the first desktop portion and to the second desktop portion, and configured such that the second desktop portion is movable between;
a first configuration at which the second desktop portion is substantially coplanar with the first desktop portion and the proximal edge and two side edges of the second desktop portion are adjacent the first edge of the first desktop portion; and
a second configuration at which the proximal edge of the second desktop portion is beneath the first edge of the first desktop portion, and the second desktop portion is angled at about 8°
to about 30°
with respect to the first desktop portion,and further wherein the lip is configured such that, in the first configuration the lip is automatically moved by the bistable linkage assembly such that the lip does not present the upwardly extending surface, and in the second configuration the lip automatically presents an upwardly extending surface transverse to the proximal edge of the second desktop portion.

Abstract
A desktop includes a first portion, a second portion, and a linkage assembly attached to the first and second portions. The first desktop portion has a first, substantially planar, upper surface, and an edge. The second desktop portion has a second, substantially planar, upper surface, a proximal edge, and a distal edge. The linkage assembly is configured such that the second desktop portion is movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. At the first configuration, the second desktop portion is substantially coplanar with the first desktop portion, and the proximal edge of the second desktop portion is adjacent the edge of the first desktop portion. At the second configuration, the proximal edge of the second desktop portion is beneath the edge of the first desktop portion, and the second desktop portion is not coplanar with the first desktop portion and is not parallel to the first desktop portion.

11. A desk, comprising:
-
one or more legs or pillars configured to be set on a floor, wherein the one or more legs or pillars are adjustable in height; and a desktop comprising; a first desktop portion attached to the one or more legs or pillars, comprising a first, substantially planar, upper surface, and a first edge; a second desktop portion, comprising a second, substantially planar, upper surface, a proximal edge, two side edges, and a distal edge; a lip; and a bistable linkage assembly, attached to the first desktop portion and to the second desktop portion, and configured such that the second desktop portion is movable between; a first configuration at which the one or more legs or pillars are set at a sitting height and at which the second desktop portion is substantially coplanar with the first desktop portion and the proximal edge and two side edges of the second desktop portion are adjacent the first edge of the first desktop portion; and a second configuration at which the one or more legs or pillars are set at a standing height and at which the proximal edge of the second desktop portion is beneath the first edge of the first desktop portion, and the second desktop portion is not coplanar with the first desktop portion and is not parallel to the first desktop portion, and further wherein the lip is configured such that, in the first configuration the lip is automatically moved by the bistable linkage assembly such that the lip does not present the upwardly extending surface, and in the second configuration the lip automatically presents an upwardly extending surface transverse to the proximal edge of the second desktop portion. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
