Abstract

An electrically lifted and titled computer desk and office desk thereof, wherein the computer desk comprises a desktop, a first and second tilt plate coupled to the vertical members, wherein the actuator driving mechanism drives the desktop to tilt and/or raise simultaneously.

Claims (69)

1. An adjustable desk comprising:

an adjustable desktop;

a first tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a second tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a first vertical member coupled to the first tilt plate at a first pivot point on a rear portion of the first tilt plate;

a second vertical member coupled to the second tilt plate at a second pivot point on a rear portion of the second tilt plate;

a first vertical actuator coupled to the first vertical member and the first tilt plate;

a second vertical actuator coupled to the second vertical member and the second tilt plate;

a first tilt actuator coupled to the first tilt plate configured to adjust a tilt angle of the desk top; and

a first side plate coupled to the first vertical actuator and the first tilt actuator, wherein the first side plate is adapted to move vertically along a length of the first vertical member.

2. The adjustable desk of claim 1 further comprising:

a second tilt actuator coupled to the second tilt plate; and

a second side plate coupled to the second vertical actuator and the second tilt actuator, wherein the second side plate is adapted to move vertically along a length of the second vertical member.

3. The adjustable desk of claim 1 wherein in a raised position, the desk top is adjustable between 0 and 67 degrees, and in a lowered position, the desk top is adjustable between 0 and 49 degrees.

4. The adjustable desk of claim 1 further comprising:

a first wheel and a first motor coupled to a bottom portion of the first vertical member;

a second wheel and a second motor coupled to the bottom portion of the first vertical member;

a third wheel and a third motor coupled to a bottom portion of the second vertical member;

a fourth wheel and a fourth motor coupled to the bottom portion of the second vertical member; and

a control unit coupled to the first motor, the second motor, the third motor, and the fourth motor for moving the adjustable desk to a predetermined location.

5. An adjustable desk comprising:

an adjustable desktop;

a first tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a second tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a first vertical member coupled to the first tilt plate;

a second vertical member coupled to the second tilt plate;

a first vertical actuator coupled to the first vertical member and the first tilt plate;

a second vertical actuator coupled to the second vertical member and the second tilt plate;

a first tilt actuator coupled to the first tilt plate;

a first vertical groove formed into the first vertical member;

a second vertical groove formed into the second vertical member; and

a first side plate having first bearings, the first side plate coupled to the first vertical actuator and the first tilt actuator, wherein the first bearings are adapted to move vertically within the first vertical groove along a length of the first vertical member.

6. The adjustable desk of claim 5 further comprising:

a first center pivot bearing that is within the first vertical groove, the first vertical bearing coupled to the first tilt plate to provide support for the adjustable desk;

a second center pivot bearing that is within the second vertical groove, the second vertical bearing coupled to the second tilt plate to provide support for the adjustable desk;

a first lift plate coupled to the first vertical groove, the first lift plate coupled to the first vertical actuator; and

a second lift plate coupled to the second vertical groove, the second lift plate coupled to the second vertical actuator;

a first bottom pivot coupled to the first lift plate wherein the first tilt actuator rotates about the first bottom pivot; and

a second bottom pivot coupled to the second lift plate wherein the second tilt actuator rotates about the second bottom pivot.

7. The adjustable desk of claim 6 wherein the first bottom pivot is a first bearing having a first bottom pivot cap that has a first diameter that is greater than a first width of the first groove and the second bottom pivot is a second bearing having a second bottom pivot cap that has a second diameter that is greater than a second width of the second groove.

8. The adjustable desk of claim 6 wherein the first top pivot is a first bearing having a first top pivot cap that has a first diameter that is greater than a width of the first groove; and the second top pivot is a second bearing having a second bottom pivot cap that has a second diameter that is greater than a second width of the second groove.

9. The adjustable desk of claim 6 wherein the first vertical member and the second vertical member each have two parallel grooves with an identical length and width.

10. The adjustable desk of claim 6 wherein a plurality of bearings mounted on the first lift plate and the second lift plate wherein the axes of rotation are parallel.

11. The adjustable desk of claim 6 wherein the first vertical groove of the first vertical member and the second vertical groove of the second vertical member each have a length between 3 ft and 10 ft.

12. An adjustable desk comprising:

an adjustable desk top;

a first tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a second tilt plate coupled to the adjustable desk top;

a first vertical member coupled to the first tilt plate;

a second vertical member coupled to the second tilt plate;

a first vertical actuator coupled to the first tilt plate;

a second vertical actuator coupled to the second tilt plate;

a first tilt actuator coupled to the first vertical actuator and coupled to the first tilt plate;

a first side plate coupled to the first vertical actuator and the first tilt actuator, wherein the first side plate is adapted to move vertically along a length of the first vertical member; and

a second side plate coupled to the second vertical actuator and the second tilt actuator, wherein the second side plate is adapted to move vertically along a length of the second vertical member; and

a top shelf assembly above the desktop and between the first vertical member and the second vertical member.

13. The adjustable desk of claim 12 further comprising:

a top shelf assembly coupled to the rear portion of the desktop, and

a top shelf assembly that raises and lowers by means of two linear actuators coupled to the first and second vertical members.

14. The adjustable desk of claim 12 further comprising:

a top shelf assembly wherein the first shelf side plate has an orifice that allows for attachments of accessories.

15. The adjustable desk of claim 12 wherein in a raised position, the top shelf assembly is adjustable between 5 feet and 2 feet.

16. The adjustable desk of claim 12 wherein the top shelf assembly is coupled to the desktop by the first and second vertical grooves formed into the first and second vertical members.

17. The adjustable desk of claim 12 further comprising:

a first wheel and a first motor coupled to a bottom portion of the first vertical member;

a second wheel and a second motor coupled to the bottom portion of the first vertical member;
