Abstract

An exercise desk that may be attached to a piece of exercise equipment is disclosed that that has an adjustable desk top. By providing an adapter capable of independent adjustment of the desk top, horizontal position of the adapter and vertical position of the adapter, the exercise desk may be mounted to a variety of exercise devices. Furthermore, the desk top is selectively pivotable.

Claims

1. An exercise desk for attaching to an exercise device the exercise desk, comprising:

a base and a rear wheel support device, said exercise desk adapted to support a non-stationary bicycle, said base adapted to support a front wheel of the non-stationary bicycle and said rear wheel support device adapted to support a rear wheel of the non-stationary bicycle;

a desk top providing a stable surface;

a selectively pivotable desk mount fixedly attached to said desk top to permit said desk top to pivot about an axis; and

an orthogonal desk top positioning system, adapted to adjustably attach said desk top to a non-stationary bicycle, having an adapter including a vertical desk adjustment lock, a horizontal attachment adjustment lock, and a vertical attachment adjustment lock, at least one desk top support member attached to said desk mount, said desk top support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said vertical desk adjustment lock, and at least one vertical support member extending from said base, said vertical support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said vertical attachment adjustment lock and at least one horizontal support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said horizontal attachment adjustment lock, said horizontal support member being attachable to a non-stationary bicycle said positioning system permitting horizontal and vertical adjustment of said adapter while providing independent adjustment of said desk top, wherein the vertical position of said adapter is adjustable independent of the horizontal position of the adapter.

2. An exercise desk for attaching to an exercise device the exercise desk, comprising:

a base and a rear wheel support device, said exercise desk adapted to support a non-stationary bicycle, said base adapted to support a front wheel of the non-stationary bicycle and said rear wheel support device adapted to support a rear wheel of the non-stationary bicycle;

a desk top providing a stable surface;

a selectively pivotable desk mount fixedly attached to said desk top to permit said desk top to pivot about an axis; and

an orthogonal desk top positioning system, adapted to adjustably attach said desk top to a non-stationary bicycle, having an adapter including a vertical desk adjustment lock, a horizontal attachment adjustment lock, and a vertical attachment adjustment lock, at least one desk top support member attached to said desk mount, said desk top support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said vertical desk adjustment lock, and at least one vertical support member extending from said base, said vertical support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said vertical attachment adjustment lock and at least one horizontal support member, slidably engaging said adapter, is adjustable by said horizontal attachment adjustment lock, said horizontal support member being attachable to a non-stationary bicycle said positioning system permitting horizontal and vertical adjustment of said adapter while providing independent adjustment of said desk top, wherein the vertical position of said desk top may be adjusted independent of the vertical position of the adapter.
