ABSTRACT:
A fold-down desk is provided especially adapted for use in nursing homes. The desk is composed of a casing and a writing surface, with the writing surface pivotally mounted to the casing. Special hangers mount the casing to a wall panel so that the writing surface is movable from a first position, in which it is vertical and abuts the casing, to a second position at which it is stopped with respect to the casing and is substantially vertical. The writing surface and casing are interconnected so that as the writing surface is moved away from the casing about the pivot structure, the movement of the writing surface is slow and gradual until it is positively stopped at the end of its path of travel. All portions of the writing surface and casing have rounded edges, the writing surface is flat with a raised edge around the circumference thereof, and elongated recesses are provided along the periphery of the cases.
