21. A modular desk assembly comprising:
-
a first linkable desk, wherein the first linkable desk comprises; a first support frame, wherein the first support frame comprises a pair of first C-shaped spine members, wherein each first C-shaped spine members comprises; a first section; a second section; and a third section vertically disposed between the first section and the second section, wherein the third section couples the first section and the second section; a first table top coupled the first sections of the first C-shaped spine members; one or more second linkable desks, wherein each second linkable desk comprises; a second support frame, wherein the second support frame comprises a pair of second C-shaped spine members, and wherein the pair of second C-shaped spine members of each second linkable desk is not the same as the pair of first C-shaped spine members of the first linkable desk, wherein each of the second C-shaped spine members comprises; a first section; a second section; and a third section vertically disposed between the first section and the second section, wherein the third section couples the first section and the second section; and a second table top coupled the first sections of the second C-shaped spine members; and a connection device comprising a first end and an opposing second end;
wherein the connection device is capable of coupling the first linkable desk to at least one of the second linkable desks by coupling at the first end to one of the first sections of the first support frame of the first linkable desk and by coupling at the second end to one of the first sections of the second support frame of the second linkable desk. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
