Disclosed are various embodiments for a table base. In one embodiment, a table base has a bottom surface portion configured to contact a supporting surface. The table base has a top surface portion configured to support and retain a smooth removable surface. The table base has an elongated shaft attached to the top surface portion and the bottom surface portion. The elongated shaft is tapered inward from the bottom surface portion and tapered outward to the top surface portion.

A geologic core inspection table includes at least two legs, each including an extending portion for increasing the effective length of each leg, the extending portion at least partially concentrically disposed within or about the leg from which it extends; and a tabletop disposed above and coupled to the legs. The tabletop includes a top surface for receiving a core sample tray. At least one leg may be extended to a different height than at least one other leg.

Clamping arrangements for assembling components of modular furniture are disclosed. The clamping arrangements can include a frame comprising a cavity intermediate opposing sidewall surfaces. The clamping arrangements can also include a spring positioned in the cavity, wherein the spring comprises a folded metal sheet. The clamping arrangements can also include a lever comprising a camming surface, wherein the lever is pivotably coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall about an axis of rotation and pivotable between an unclamped position and a clamped position. The camming surface can be configured to directly engage the spring and deform the spring to a clamping configuration when the lever is in the clamped position.

A cellular furniture construction system that includes: a set of voxels, that form a lattice providing the shape and structure of the furniture construction, wherein regions of the furniture construction comprise distinct three-dimensional lattice arrangements of different types of voxels, providing distinct stress/strain properties to the regions; wherein each voxel comprises: a voxel type, defined by the stress and strain property of the voxel, and a discrete cellular three-dimensional structure, enabled to connect with other voxels along any one of the voxel interface surfaces. The system functions as a lightweight, modular, furniture construction system, wherein the system leverages arrangements of different voxel types to construct a furniture structure with desired stress/strain properties to regions of the structure.

A structure, such as a tabletop, may be constructed from plastic, such as blow-molded. The tabletop may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface. A lip may extend downwardly relative to the lower surface of the tabletop, and the lip including an outer surface and an inner surface. A plurality of supports may be disposed in the inner surface of the lip, and a plurality of joints may be disposed in the inner surface of the lip. A joint may be disposed between adjacent supports. A distal portion of the lip may include a compression edge. A lower portion of the supports may contact the compression edge, and/or a lower portion of the joints may contact the compression edge.

A structure constructed using a blow-molding process comprising a tabletop, a lip, a pair of blow points, and a continuous tack-off. The tabletop includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the upper and lower surfaces. The lip extends downwardly relative to the lower surface. The lip includes an outer and an inner surface. The blow points are configured to receive a blow pin. The blow points include a first portion connected to the lower surface, a second portion connected to the inner surface, and a hollow interior portion in fluid communication with the hollow interior portion. The continuous tack-off is disposed between the tabletop and the lip and extends between the blow points. The continuous tack-off prevents fluid flow between the tabletop and the lip along the section of the lip.

A foldable table includes first and second panels, first and second mounting assemblies coupled respectively with the first and second panels, and first and second leg assemblies coupled respective with the first and second mounting assemblies. Each of the first and second panels is formed with upper and lower panel surfaces spaced apart at a first distance. Each of the first and second panels is also formed with a ridge or protrusions or both of the ridge and protrusions. A lower surface of the ridge is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a second distance equal to or less than two times the first distance. A lower surface of each protrusion is spaced apart from the upper panel surface at a third distance equal to or less than 1.5 times the first distance. Thus, when folded, the table has a minimized thickness.

Embodiments of work stations for use in a medical dose preparation management system are disclosed. A work station may include a camera stand. The camera stand may include a housing enclosing a camera and one or more light sources therein. As such, the camera and light sources may be directed at a medical dose preparation staging region to capture medical dose preparation images of the medical dose preparation staging region. The camera stand may include an adjustable support positionable in a plurality of positions to dispose the camera and light source relative to the medical dose preparation staging region. The work stations may facilitate improved image quality and record work flows carried out at the work station for preparation verification.

Furniture pieces which incorporate load-bearing or non-load bearing structures in which water or other material may be stored. By incorporating such storage capacity within furniture, a user may take advantage of space that would otherwise be unused or unusable to unobtrusively and conveniently store an emergency water supply or other desired material.
