DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a foldable desk integrated with a chair according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2-1 to 2-8 are perspective views illustrating processes of folding the foldable desk.

[0024] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2-1 to 2-8, a quadrangular desk board frame 50 formed of a pipe is attached onto a bottom surface of a desk board 10 shaped like a quadrangular plate. A quadrangular desk board support frame 60 formed of a pipe is connected to the desk board frame 50, and the support frame stands on the ground.

[0025] A backrest support frame 70, which is also formed of a pipe and is shaped like an inverse U-shape, is attached to a rear surface of a backrest 20 shaped like a quadrangular plate to support the backrest, and the support frame 70 includes a first leg and a second leg 72 and 74, and is bent from lower ends of the first leg and the second leg 72 and 74 upwardly at 180°, so that the first leg and the second leg 72 and 74 are connected to each other at an intermediate height that is a lower than that of the backrest to form an intermediate upper edge 76, and a chair seat 40 shaped like a quadrangular plate is rotatably connected to the intermediate upper edge.

[0026] The backrest support frame 70 and the desk board support frame 60 are connected to each other through a connection frame 30, which is formed of a pipe, and generally has a U-shape. The connection frame 30 stands on the ground, and is rotatable with respect to any one of or both the desk board support frame 60 and the backrest support frame 70 as necessary.

[0027] The frame 50 of the desk board 10 is rotatably connected to the desk board support frame 60 through a connection rod 13 (see FIG. 2-3). The connection rod 13 may have a form accommodating the two pipes, which form the desk board frame 50 and the support frame 60, in parallel.

[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the state where the desk board 10 is accurately positioned at a position exerting a function of the desk, the desk board support frame 60 forms a portion bent at a right angle. A length of the bent portion needs to be larger than a thickness of the desk board, and the reason thereof will be described below. An upper portion of the bent portion forms a first upper edge 62 of the desk board support frame, and a portion connected to the first upper edge 62 forms a first upper edge 32 of the connection frame 30, and the two upper edges 62 and 32 simultaneously support the bottom surface of the desk board 10 (see FIG. 2-2).

[0029] The connection rod 13 is shorter than a second upper edge 64 of the desk board support frame 60 coupled to the connection rod 13 to allow the desk board 10 to slide in a lateral direction that is a direction of an arrow A along the first upper edge 62 of the desk board support frame (see FIG. 2-3). As illustrated in FIGS. 2-3 and 2-4, the desk board 10 is foldable downwardly, that is, in a direction of an arrow B, at a right angle in the state of sliding in the direction of the arrow (A) (see FIG. 2-5). To this end, a length of a portion of the desk board support frame 60 bent at the right angle, that is, the first upper edge 62 of the desk board frame, needs to be larger than the thickness of the desk board. That is, when the desk board is completely folded, the desk board needs to be completely accommodated in the bent portion (see FIG. 2-5).

[0030] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to FIG. 2-5, when the chair seat 40 is in an accurately positioned state, in which the chair seat 40 serves as a chair, a second upper edge 34 lower than the first upper edge 32 of the connection frame 30 forms an inwardly protruding support part 35, and a bottom surface of the chair seat is supported to the support part 35.

[0031] As illustrated in FIG. 2-6, the chair seat 40 may be completely folded upwardly in a direction of an arrow C to overlap the backrest 20.

[0032] Subsequently, in the state where the chair seat 40 is folded upwardly, the backrest support frame 70 may be folded at a right angle so as to overlap the connection frame 30 as illustrated in FIG. 2-7. In this state, the protruding part 35 is positioned in a space between the first leg and the second leg 72 and 74 of the backrest support frame, and subsequently, the desk board support fame 60 may be rotated in a direction of an arrow D in the state where the desk board 10 is completely folded downwardly to be folded so as to overlap the backrest support frame 70. FIG. 2-8 is a perspective view illustrating the state where the desk board and the chair seat are completely folded so as to overlap each other.

[0033] In the meantime, as illustrated in FIG. 2-3, the desk board 10 is coupled to both vertical rods 52 and 54 of the desk board frame 50 by a pipe-type connection rod 12, and the connection rod 12 is fixed to the desk board 10, and may be better to have a smaller length than that of both vertical rods 52 and 54 and be movable along both vertical rods. In this case, the desk board 10 is movable in front and back directions along both vertical rods, so that the desk board 10 is movable in the front and back directions so as to fit a body shape of a user (see FIG. 3).

[0034] FIG. 3 is a lateral view illustrating the state where the desk board 10 moves in the front and back directions, and the desk board 10 is moved in a direction of an arrow E with respect to both vertical rods 52 and 54 of the desk board frame 50 to adjust a gap between the desk board 10 and the backrest to fit the body shape of the user.

[0035] A circle of FIG. 2-2 is an enlarged view of a corner of the desk board frame 50, and a clip connection unit 53 may be installed in one vertical rod 52 of the desk board frame 50, and the clip connection unit 53 may be coupled to the first upper edge 32 of the connection frame in a clip type. When the clip connection unit 53 is coupled to the first upper edge 32, the desk board 10 does not move and is fixed.

[0036] A second clip connection unit 55 having the same structure as that of the clip connection unit 53 is installed in another vertical rod 54 of the desk board frame 50. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of FIG. 2-5 viewed in another direction, and illustrates the state where the clip connection unit 55 is coupled to the leg 63 of the desk board support frame 60 in the clip type in the state where the desk board 10 is folded. In this case, the desk board in the folded state does not move and is fixed during the movement.

[0037] FIG. 5 is a perspective view and a partially enlarged view illustrating the state where the chair seat 40 is coupled to or separated from the support part 35, and a clip connection unit 42 coupled to the support part 35 in the clip type may be installed on the bottom surface of the chair seat 40. When the chair seat is coupled to the support part through the clip connection unit 42, the chair seat does not move, thereby securing stability.

[0038] In the meantime, in the aforementioned exemplary embodiment, both the backrest support frame 70 and the desk board support frame 60 are rotatable with respect to the connection frame 30, but the present invention may be configured so that only any one of the backrest support frame 70 and the desk board support frame 60 is rotatable as necessary.

[0039] FIG. 6 is a perspective view and a partially enlarged view of an exemplary embodiment, in which the desk board support frame 60 is fixed to the connection frame 30 so as not to be rotatable. As illustrated, when a connection part 80 of both frames 30 and 60 is coupled by a welding method, and the like, the desk board support frame 60 is prevented from being rotated. In this case, the desks, which are folded in the form of “” by folding only the backrests, of the present invention may overlap and be stored as illustrated in FIG. 7.

[0040] In contrast to FIG. 7, FIG. 8 illustrates a structure, in which the backrest support frame 70 and the connection part 82 of the connection frame 30 are welded to fix both frames 70 and 30 so as not to rotate with respect to each other. In this case, the desks, which are folded in the form of “” by folding only the desk plates, of the present invention may overlap and be stored as illustrated in FIG. 9.

[0041] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment, in which wheels are provided to the foldable desk of the present invention. Wheels are attached to a bottom part of the desk of the present invention, and when a rotatable wheel 92 having no brake is attached to one side of the desk and a wheel 94 having a brake, which prevents the wheel from being rotated as necessary, is attached to an opposite side, it is possible to easily move and fix the desk.
