Thread: Mechanism for Fold-Up Desk

I will say at the outset that I don't know the answer on this for certain, but I would doubt any hinge would be available to achieve what you're looking for. Bear in mind, any hinge designer must cater to a degree for "worst possible scenario", so stop and consider what happens when a toddler or young child uses this to support themselves or pull themselves up from the floor/sitting position - the stresses involved on the hinge and surrounding material would be quite high, and in such a case, failure might leave any manufacturer open to liability.

I can see a couple of ways of achieving close to your goal:

(1) Support the protruding section with a telescopic support undearneath the protruding section that is well mounted under the fixed section, or
(2) Use something like the Blum undermount drawer system to achieve a pull-out section, though this will mean the fixed section will be lower than the pull out section, or
(3) Have a hinged "leg" or "legs" that can fold out from underneath the protruding section to support themselves from the floor level, or
(4) Legs as noted above that support themselves in a triangular alignment from some part of the inbuilt cabinet carsasse.

How about these? https://www.hafele.com.au/en/product...13d7200010023/
