Abstract

Portable writing chair constructions have long been used by a variety of institutions since they offer the obvious advantage of providing a seating surface to be occupied by a person along with a writing surface associated therewith on which notes or the like may be taken. Heretofore such chair-desk combinations have been universally designed for right-handed persons apparently due to the fact that the percentage of the population that is right-handed greatly exceeds the percentage of the population that is left-handed so it is uneconomical for business entities manufacturing such writing chair to manufacture constructions specifically designed for left-handed persons. Consequently, left-handed persons using conventional chair-desks are handicapped in writing with the same. It is the aim of the invention to provide a new and improved writing table chair that can be used with equal facility by either left or righthanded persons. Thus, a few activities are done to accomplish this aim. First is the study of the current design of portable writing chair, concerning the structural and the ergonomics aspects of the current design. Then collecting information data through a survey to the major users of such chair and finally is performing the improvement design by using SolidWorks® software. As a result, a new and improved design of portable writing chair suitable for both right and left-handed users is produced. This new design comes with a movable writing table construction which can be used by both kinds of users. Moreover arm rests are also provided to support the users' arms. This new and improved design provides a construction that may be economically manufactured and which does not require separate tooling.
