BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] To easily identify the discussion of any particular element or act, the most significant digit or digits in a reference number refer to the figure number in which that element is first introduced.

[0015] FIG. 1 illustrates a front profile 100 in accordance with one embodiment.

[0016] FIG. 2 illustrates an angled top view 200 in accordance with one embodiment.

[0017] FIG. 3 illustrates a side view 300 in accordance with one embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The details of one or more embodiments of the subject matter of this specification are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, aspects, and advantages of the subject matter will become apparent from the description, the drawings, and the claims.

[0019] Like reference numbers and designations in the various drawings indicate like elements.

[0020] FIG. 1 depicts a front profile 100 of a steering wheel desk as in one embodiment. The steering wheel desk is presented as a single unit desk with the desk surface 102 shown with an opening 104 near the top center of the desk surface 102 and a lip 106 near the bottom of the desk surface 102. The steering wheel desk may be employed for such tasks as, but not limited to, writing or drawing on the desk surface 102 and operation of a laptop or tablet on the desk surface 102. The lip 106 may be utilized for further support when operating a laptop or tablet. Embodiments for the composition of the steering wheel desk include, but are not limited to, wood, plastic and fiberboard. Embodiments for the composition of the lip 106 include, but are not limited to, wood, plastic and fiberboard. In another embodiment, one or more light-emitting diode modules are attached to the desk surface 102. In another embodiment, a mouse pad is attached to the desk surface 102. In another embodiment, the desk surface 102 has an opening for inserting a mobile phone.

[0021] FIG. 2 depicts an angled top view 200 of the steering wheel desk as in one embodiment. In this example, the steering wheel desk displayed is employed onto an existing steering wheel. The opening 104 in the desk surface 102 is shaped such that the steering wheel desk may be inserted over the top portion of the steering wheel 202, which positions the desk at an incline relative to the steering wheel 202. Additionally, a center groove 206 is shown in the opening 104 of the steering wheel desk, which in addition to the desk's orientation in reference to the steering wheel, prevents accidental activation of the horn 204 that is built into the existing steering wheel. The desk surface 102 is able to rest firmly on the steering wheel 202 at an incline which is ergonomically beneficial for a user employing the desk.

[0022] FIG. 3 depicts a side view 300 of the steering wheel desk as in one embodiment. In this example, the steering wheel desk displayed is employed onto an existing steering wheel similar to that of FIG. 2. The desk lies on an incline while inserted over an existing steering wheel 202. The incline of the desk surface 102 allows for the user to employ the steering wheel desk from an upright position, reducing the need to hunch over and maintaining proper posture.
