ABSTRACT:
A simple and elegant activity center and drawing table is described; the preferred example is for children to use in bed, and consists of a drawing surface mounted on a rectangular frame, which is in turn supported on two boxes. The boxes sit on either side of the legs of a bed-ridden child, and are open on the sides for storage. Rolls of paper on either side of the drawing surface supply drawing paper; a window in the drawing surface and a gravity bar to hold a subject design allow tracing; and a latch-and-pivot behind the frame, in conjunction with hinges between the frame and boxes, allow the drawing surface to be raised to predetermined oblique angles. Alternatively, the surface may sit flat and be used as a table. A lip prevents crayons, pencils, or books from sliding off, and all parts near the front are rounded to prevent injury. All the described mechanisms can be easily manoeuvred by a child while in bed, without adult help.
