- 1 - APPLICATION FOR PATENT ON CHILD'S CONVERTIBLE DESK by D. F. Martin P. O. Box 55 Williamstown, Ontario ABSTRACT Most children's desks made and sold commercially serve mainly a single purpose, i.e. for writing or other activity that can be performed on a small horizontal surface. Few of them have any flexibility which permits them to be used for a variety of purposes. Some may have a tilting top that can be used either in a horizontal position for writing or at an angle for drawing. But none provide both these features plus a facility for converting the desk into a table with adequate surface area for playing games or serving food. In the invention described, all these features are pro- vided for by making the desk top convertible. This is done by constructing the top of two layers equal in dimensions, the too layer consisting of a single folding leaf and the bottom layer of two leaves, one solidly attached to the desk frame and the other hinged to the frame. The folding leaf is hinged to the fixed lower leaf so that it can either lie at rest on top of the bottom layer to form a writing surface, or fold into an easel position or through a full 180° to form one half of a table top surface, the bottom layer form- ing the other half. The hinged leaf of the bottom layer is attached to the desk frame in such a manner that it can either lie flat in a plane with the fixed leaf or can be swivelled through 90° into a vertical position to form a support for the folding leaf when in an easel position. The invention also contains another feature in that a seat is provided as an integral part of the desk unit. Al- though this feature in itself is not unique, advantage is taken of it and patent rights claimed because the seat back is utilized as a fixed support for the folding leaf when in table top position.
