Rocking desk

Abstract

Devices described in the present disclosure can include a rocking desk with a desk top having a top side and a bottom side. The rocking desk can also have multiple legs, each leg may be attached to the bottom side of the desk top and may have a curved bottom edge that can cause the rocking desk to tilt at an angle when force is applied to the desk top. The curved bottom edges can also provide a stable balance point when the force applied is maintained and a desired amount of rocking for the desk when the force applied is removed. The stable balance point and desired amount of rocking can be achieved by the amount of curvature of the bottom edge of the rocking desk's legs, the angle of attaching the rocking desk's legs, and/or the height of the rocking desk's legs.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A rocking desk, comprising:
 a desk top comprising a top side and a bottom side; and   a plurality of legs, each leg comprising a top edge attached to said bottom side and a bottom edge that contacts a ground surface, wherein said bottom edge is a curved shape;   wherein said curved shape of said bottom edge creates a stable balance point and forwards and backwards movement for said rocking desk.   
     
     
         2 . The rocking desk of  claim 1 , wherein said curved shape of said bottom edge creates a center of effective leg radius and wherein said rocking desk comprises a net center of mass. 
     
     
         3 . The rocking desk of  claim 2 , wherein changing the amount of curvature in said curved shape changes said center of effective leg radius. 
     
     
         4 . The rocking desk of  claim 2 , wherein said top edge of each of said plurality of legs is attached to said bottom side of said desk top at an angle, changing said center of effective leg radius. 
     
     
         5 . The rocking desk of  claim 4 , wherein said forwards and backwards movement changes as the distance between said center of effective leg radius and said net center of mass changes. 
     
     
         6 . The rocking desk of  claim 1 , wherein said desk top comprises a center line. 
     
     
         7 . The rocking desk of  claim 6 , further comprising a curved pillar attached to said bottom side of said desk top at said center line. 
     
     
         8 . A rocking desk, comprising:
 a desk top comprising a top side and a bottom side; and   a plurality of legs, each leg comprising a top edge attached to said bottom side and a bottom edge that contacts a ground surface, wherein said bottom edge is a curved shape;   wherein said top edge of each of said plurality of legs is attached at an angle that creates a stable balance point and forwards and backwards movement for said rocking desk.   
     
     
         9 . The rocking desk of  claim 8 , wherein said curved shape of said bottom edge creates a center of effective leg radius and wherein said rocking desk comprises a net center of mass. 
     
     
         10 . The rocking desk of  claim 9 , wherein changing said angle changes said center of effective leg radius. 
     
     
         11 . The rocking desk of  claim 9 , wherein said angle is 55 degrees from a center line on said desk top. 
     
     
         12 . The rocking desk of  claim 9 , wherein said of forwards and backwards movement changes as the distance between said center of effective leg radius and said net center of mass changes. 
     
     
         13 . The rocking desk of  claim 12 , wherein the distance between said center of effective leg radius and said net center of mass is at least 24 inches. 
     
     
         14 . A rocking desk, comprising:
 a desk top comprising a top side and a bottom side; and   a plurality of legs, each leg comprising a top edge attached to said bottom side and a bottom edge that contacts a ground surface, wherein said bottom edge is a curved shape;   wherein the distance between said top edge and said bottom edge creates a stable balance point and forwards and backwards movement for said rocking desk.   
     
     
         15 . The rocking desk of  claim 14 , wherein said curved shape of said bottom edge creates a center of effective leg radius and wherein said rocking desk comprises a net center of mass. 
     
     
         16 . The rocking desk of  claim 15 , wherein changing said length changes said net center of mass. 
     
     
         17 . The rocking desk of  claim 15 , wherein said top edge of each of said plurality of legs is attached to said bottom side at an angle, changing said center of effective leg radius. 
     
     
         18 . The rocking desk of  claim 17 , wherein said forwards and backwards movement changes as the distance between said center of effective leg radius and said net center of mass changes. 
     
     
         19 . The rocking desk of  claim 14 , wherein said bottom edge of each of said plurality of legs is a sufficient length such that said rocking desk does not cross over said length of said bottom edge. 
     
     
         20 . The rocking desk of  claim 14 , wherein said desk top comprises curved edges.
