Adjustable desk platform
DCFirst Claim
1. An adjustable desk platform comprising:
- an upper platform defining a first substantially planar work surface, and a lower surface opposite the work surface;
first and second lower mounting brackets extending below the upper platform, the first and second lower mounting brackets laterally spaced apart from one another;
a base located beneath the upper platform, the base defining a bottom surface without legs that is adapted to sit on an existing desk;
first and second upper mounting brackets extending upward from the base, the first and second upper mounting brackets laterally spaced apart from one another;
first and second sets of arms connecting the first and second lower mounting brackets to the first and second upper mounting brackets, respectively, the first and second sets of arms adapted to move the upper platform substantially in parallel with the base between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position; and
a first locking mechanism associated with the first set of arms, the first locking mechanism comprising;
a first anchor coupled to the first lower mounting bracket, the first anchor adapted to releasably lock the first set of arms in position with respect to the first lower mounting bracket, anda first handle connected to the lower surface of the upper platform, the first handle user-operable to unlock the first set of arms to permit movement of the upper platform between the fully raised and the fully lowered positions.

Abstract
Adjustable desk platform includes an upper platform defining a first substantially planar work surface; a lower platform defining a second substantially planar work surface; at least one set of pivot arms connecting the lower platform and the upper platform, the set of pivot arms including a primary pivot arm and a secondary pivot arm. The set of pivot arms is adapted to move the upper platform substantially in parallel with the lower platform between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position. A locking mechanism includes a plurality of perforations located in the primary pivot arm or the secondary pivot arm, a locking set fixed with respect to the upper platform or lower platform, the locking set including at least one anchor adapted to selectively engage at least one of the plurality of perforations, and a handle connected to the anchor by a linkage.

12. An adjustable desk platform comprising:
-
an upper platform defining a first substantially planar work surface; a lower platform; at least one set of arms connecting the lower platform and the upper platform, the set of arms comprising a primary arm and a secondary arm, wherein the set of arms is adapted to move the upper platform substantially in parallel with the lower platform between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position; and a locking mechanism associated with the set of arms, the locking mechanism comprising; a plurality of perforations located in the primary arm or the secondary arm, a locking set fixed with respect to the upper platform or the lower platform, the locking set including at least one anchor adapted to selectively engage at least one of the plurality of perforations, and a handle connected to the anchor by a linkage, the handle adapted to selectively move the anchor into engagement with at least one of the plurality of perforations; a boss located on the primary arm or the secondary arm, the boss adapted to move on the primary arm or the secondary arm along an arcuate path as the upper platform moves between the fully raised position and the fully lowered position; and a first spring fixed in position with respect to the upper platform or the lower platform, wherein movement of the upper platform toward the fully lowered position extends the first spring. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
