INTENSIVE USE SHELF
20200054135 · 2020-02-20 · ·

The invention is directed to an intensive use furniture component having a sealing connection on a mounting surface for sealingly attaching to a floor or wall to prevent liquid from seeping under or behind the furniture component. The furniture component is formed by an outer shell having a side wall extending generally perpendicular to the mounting surface. A mounting flange is disposed adjacent the sidewall. A bolt hole is formed in the mounting flange. The sealing connection comprises a caulk channel formed as a channel in the mounting surface for receiving a bead of caulk to fill the seam between the mounting surface and the wall or floor to prevent fluid from seeping past the caulk channel to a space adjacent the interior mounting surface.

METHOD AND APPARATUS TO KEEP TRACK OF PERFORMANCE DATA AND USER'S PREFERENCES WHILE USING A STANDING DESK AND FITNESS DEVICES

A network of devices that include Workspace Fitness Devices, such as Smart Under-the-desk Bikes and Smart Desk Controllers embedded in Smart Sit-and-Stand Desks that connect or talk to one another, electronically identify individual users, track their activities, connect to a remote server database, and modify its records. Secondary devices such as smartphones, can connect to this network to remotely monitor and control the settings on the devices such as the desk's height or the required tension in the Smart Under-the-Desk Bike. The performance data captured by this network of devices can be shared to fitness tracking software or devices. By using our invention, we plan to motivate employees that sit behind the desk for numerous hours throughout the day to improve their health, productivity, and overall wellbeing.

Pad for supporting a user's wrists, lower arms, and keyboard while typing
10517393 · 2019-12-31 ·

A pad for supporting a user's wrists, lower arms, and keyboard while typing has a support panel, a shelf, a supportive liner, and a textured liner. The support panel is a semi-rigid piece of flat material that has the supportive liner covering a top surface and the textured liner covering a bottom surface. The shelf is connected along one edge of the support panel so that the shelf can act as a riser that supports one end of the keyboard. The shelf and the support pad work in concert to create a sufficiently level typing surface for the user. As such, the user's wrists do not need to be bent while typing. Specifically, a height of the shelf is less than a height of the support panel. This configuration enables the typing surface of the keyboard to be placed coplanar to the top surface of the pad.

Multi-tiered workstation assembly

A multi-tiered work arrangement includes stacked horizontal planar surfaces that have footprints that enable stacking of the planar surfaces to provide work surfaces that are easily accessible to a user in both a sitting and a standing position. A first work surface can have a wide end and a narrow end, and a second work surface can have corresponding narrow and wide ends. The wide end of the first planar surface is substantially equivalent in length to the narrow end of the second planar surface such that the work surfaces can be stacked in use, providing two unobstructed work surfaces at different heights.

Static structure having a plurality of detachable components

Static base station structures having a plurality of detachable mobile components, systems, and methods of receiving, storing, and charging the plurality of detachable mobile components are disclosed herein. The static base station structure may be a desk or kiosk including an electronic device. The plurality of detachable mobile components may be wheeled mobile desks or kiosks, each having their own electronic device, and detachable from and independently operable from the static structure. The electronic devices of the plurality of detachable mobile components may maintain wireless communications with the electronic device of the static structure, or with the electronic device of another remote device, even when physically separated. When the detachable mobile component is no longer needed, it may be returned to a docking station within the static base station structure for storing and charging.
