ABSTRACT:
The desk is constructed for ease and convenience in positioning and use by handicapped persons who are confined to wheel chairs. It includes a relatively small base and a vertical panel extending across the base and rigidly secured thereto. Vertically extending retaining means are provided on one or both sides of the panel and a work table is removably secured to the retaining means at a selected level to accommodate varying sizes of wheel chairs. The table is considerably longer than wide, and a first narrow end is secured to the panel. The second, free end is provided with a recess in its central portion to receive the torso of the user and to define a pair of arm rests for working convenience. There are no obstructions beneath the table and its extra length provides room for a patient with a full leg cast.
