Technical field
[Para 21This invention involves a kind of writing desk whose drawer connects
with the arms support board. To be specific, it is mainly suitable for the
writing desk in
office and family.
Backp,round technolol4y
[Para 3]As is well known, for the person who works bending over one's desk
on the traditional writing desk for a long time, on one hand because a pair of
elbows
and forearms are supported on the rectangle desk panel to read and write, it
must adopt
the sitting posture of excessively leaning forward, which can cause the
hunchback and
eye myopia; on the other hand it makes the muscles of shoulder back, arm and
wrist be
in the tension condition for a long time because of hanging the elbow to
operate the
keyboard and mouse of the computer, thus causing the shoulder periarthritis,
cervical

spondylosis etc.
[Para 4]In recent years, there has appeared the desk structure that there
extends
out the arms support board from the edge of desk panel close to one side of
human
body. The arms support board is that there are set up with one internal
concave arc
shaped gap slightly wider than the waist width of human body in the middle of
traditional rectangle desktop. Both sides of internal concave shape protrude
outwards
oppositely. It is call as the arms support board. When the users carry on the
desktop
homework, their upper body above the waist enters the groove part by the desk,
and the
pair of elbows and forearms are supported on the arms support board of both
sides. The
arms support board is helpful for the users to correct the sitting posture, to
decrease the
fatigue, and makes the persons feel comfortable, and is beneficial to persons'
health.
For example, patent of China, ZL89218825.1, ZL92200155.3, ZL97228199.1, they
adopt the fixed type arms support board, simple structure, reliable, however,
the
occupied space of desktop increases, and it is inconvenient for the users to
come in and
go out; For example, patent of China, ZL99213798.5, ZL03239639.2, for the
adopted
turnover-downward foldable arms support board, the occupied space of desktop
reduces, and it is convenient for the users to come in and go out. However,
while
turning over the arms support board, it needs to occupy the lower space of
desktop.
Thus it has limited the utilization of the lower space of the desk panel. For
example.-
Place the drawer, the cupboard and the host case of computer, etc., in
addition, it needs
to add the supporting structure for the arms support board, and by doing so it
can
maintain the dependability of support of arms support board. In addition,
because the
keyboard of the computer is higher than the desktop, the wrist will not
operate the
keyboard unless upwarping it. The users can't support on the arms support
board with a
pair of elbows and forearms and operate the keyboard of the computer and turn
over,
write the files conveniently at one desk,.
