Patent number: 6270157Abstract: The floppy desk is designed to interface with a modern personal computer system. It is anthropometrically sized for the average of the 95th percentile of males and females. The floppy desk consists of an upper assembly and a support base. The upper assembly is composed of a tubular frame, a seat, an adjustable back and head rest, a foot platform, a computer support and a single plane work surface for monitor, keyboard and mouse. The support base is composed of a welded tubular frame with integral brackets for the upper assembly pivot and the shock absorber. The most important feature of the floppy desk is that the entire upper assembly reclines relative to the support base and maintains the operator's relative position to the monitor, keyboard, and computer. Reclining is achieved by the offset weight of the operator as he or she takes the seated position. Afterwards, as the operator vacates the seat, the unbalanced computer component weights cause the upper assembly to return to its horizontal position.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2000Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Inventor: Stanley Joseph Kapushinski
