Adjustable desk and monitor mount assembly

1 . An adjustable desk and monitor mount assembly, comprising:

an L-shaped base having a first leg configured to be positioned behind a chair and a second leg configured to be positioned along a side of the chair;

a vertical support extending upward from the second leg;

a traveling housing configured to travel along the vertical support;

a linear actuator extending between the base and the traveling housing and configured to control the height of the traveling housing;

a desk arm pivotally connected to the traveling housing;

a desk operably connected to the desk arm;

a monitor arm having a first end with a counterweight and a second end with a lateral extension, the monitor arm rotationally connected to the vertical support at a point between the first end and the second end; and

a monitor mount operably connected to the monitor arm.

2 . The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the desk arm is movable between a first position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned near the chair and a second position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned away from the chair.

3 . The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the desk is connected to the desk arm to allow the desk to rotate.

4 . The assembly of claim 3 , further comprising an angle locking mechanism configured to secure the desk at a plurality of rotational positions.

5 . The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the desk is connected to the desk arm to allow the desk to slide along an axis perpendicular to the desk arm.

6 . The assembly of claim 5 , wherein the desk is connected to the desk arm to allow the desk to rotate;

wherein an angle locking mechanism is configured to secure the desk at a plurality of rotational positions; and

wherein, when the desk is slid along the axis out of a fully retracted position, the angle locking mechanism is disabled.

7 . The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the monitor arm is moveable between a first position in which the monitor arm is positioned in front of the chair and a second position in which the monitor arm is positioned above the chair.

8 . The assembly of claim 1 , further including a monitor tipping mechanism configured to tip the monitor mount about an axis parallel to the lateral extension of the monitor arm.

9 . The assembly of claim 8 , wherein the monitor tipping mechanism includes:

a motor;

a lead screw turned by the motor;

a follower defining a threaded hole that engages threading of the lead screw such that, when the motor turns the lead screw, the follower moves longitudinally along a length of the lead screw; and

a cam defining a spiraling channel, the monitor mount affixed to the cam;

wherein the follower travels within the channel such that as the follower moves along the length of the lead screw, the follower causes the cam to rotate.

10 . An adjustable desk and monitor mount assembly, comprising:

a base configured to be positioned around a chair;

a vertical support extending upward from the second leg;

a desk arm pivotally connected to the vertical support;

a monitor arm having a first end with a counterweight and a second end with a lateral extension, the monitor arm rotationally connected to the vertical support at a point between the first end and the second end;

a desk operably connected to the desk arm, the desk arm movable between a first position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned near the chair and a second position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned away from the chair; and

a monitor mount operably connected to the monitor arm;

wherein the desk is connected to the desk arm to allow the desk to slide along an axis perpendicular to the desk arm;

wherein the desk is connected to the desk arm to allow the desk to rotate;

wherein an angle locking mechanism is configured to secure the desk at a plurality of rotational positions; and

wherein, when the desk is slid along the axis out of a fully retracted position, the angle locking mechanism is disabled.

11 . An adjustable desk and monitor mount assembly, comprising:

a base configured to be positioned around a chair;

a vertical support extending upward from the second leg;

a desk arm pivotally connected to the vertical support;

a monitor arm having a first end with a counterweight and a second end with a lateral extension, the monitor arm rotationally connected to the vertical support at a point between the first end and the second end;

a desk operably connected to the desk arm, the desk arm movable between a first position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned near the chair and a second position in which the desk arm is configured to be positioned away from the chair;

a monitor mount operably connected to the monitor arm; and

a monitor tipping mechanism including:

a motor,

a lead screw turned by the motor,

a follower defining a threaded hole that engages threading of the lead screw such that, when the motor turns the lead screw, the follower moves longitudinally along a length of the lead screw, and

a cam defining a spiraling channel, the monitor mount affixed to the cam;

wherein the follower travels within the channel such that as the follower moves along the length of the lead screw, the follower causes the cam to rotate.
