Foldable and assembleable desk
First Claim
1. A foldable desk assembly comprising:
- a panel;
a planar first leg hingedly attached to one end of said panel so as to be movable between a first position overlying a surface of said panel and a second position extending transverse to said panel, said panel positioned between edges of said first leg in said second position, said first leg having a spaced apart pair of screws affixed to a top end of said first leg;
a planar second leg hingedly attached to an opposite end of said panel so as to be movable between a first position overlying said surface of said panel and a second position transverse to said panel, said panel positioned between edges of said second leg in said second position of said second leg, said second leg having a spaced apart pair of screws affixed to a top end of said second leg; and
a desktop of planar configuration, said desktop having a first pair of slots formed adjacent one end thereof, said first pair of slots slidably receiving respectively said pair of screws of said first leg such that said slot is interposed between a head of a respective screw and said top end of said first leg, said desktop having a second pair of slots formed adjacent an opposite end thereof, said second pair of slot slidably receiving respectively said pair of screws of said second leg such that each of said second pair of slots is interposed between a head of a respective screw and said top end of said second leg, said desktop being detachably affixed onto said first and second legs when said first and second legs are in said second position transverse to said panel.

Abstract
A foldable desk assembly having a panel, a first leg hingedly attached to one end of the panel so as to be movable between a first position overlying a surface of the panel and a second position extending transverse to the panel, a second leg hingedly attached to an opposite end of the panel so as to be movable between a first position overlying the surface of the panel and a second position transverse to the panel. Each of the first and second legs includes a pair of spaced apart screws located at a top end thereof. A desktop has grooved formed therein so as to correspond to the location of the screws on the ends of the legs. Each of the screws can be inserted into the respective slots so as to allow the desktop to properly engage the top of the legs. A pair of tracks is formed on an underside of the desktop so as to allow for the receipt of a drawer therein.

9. A method of assembling a desk comprising the steps of:
-
rotating a planar first leg hingedly about an end of a panel such that said first leg resides perpendicular to said panel and said panel resides between edges of said first leg; rotating a planar second leg hingedly about an opposite end of said panel such that said second leg resides perpendicular to said panel and parallel to said first leg and such that said panel resides between edges of said second leg, said first leg having a pair of screws affixed at a top end thereof, said second leg having a pair of screws affixed to a top end thereof; placing a desktop onto said top ends of said first and second legs such that slots on said desktop engage corresponding screws on said first and second legs; and sliding said desktop along said top ends of said first and second legs such that the screws are engaged within respective slots in said desktop such that a slot is interposed between a head of a respective screw and a respective top end of said first and second legs. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
