TABLE INCLUDING WIRE MANAGEMENT POCKETS
A table includes a base defining a wire management pocket and a central area, a power receptacle mounted to the base adjacent the wire management pocket, a leg coupled to the base for supporting the base, and a tabletop supported on the base. The tabletop is slidably removable from the base to provide access to the wire management pocket.
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.
Adjustable stand for computing device
A stand for use with a laptop or portable computing device, such as, but not limited to, a MacBook. The stand elevates a laptop or portable computing device up off a desk or table top, reducing neck strain in the user and creating a more comfortable work setting. An adjustable-height stem connects a base and platform. The base also may be used alone, and comprises means for support the bottom of a computer stand. The base also may comprise storage space or shelves.
Workstation
A workstation comprising a chassis having a base frame (10) and a monitor frame assembly (11), said base frame (10) defining a work area (20) at its proximal end for accommodating a user therein, in use, wherein a desk unit (24) is mounted laterally across said work area and provides a work surface for use by a user accommodated in said work area (20), in use, said monitor frame assembly (11) comprising an outer frame, extending laterally across said base frame (10) and upwardly from its distal end, and an inner frame (32) mounted within said outer frame and configured to receive thereon a plurality of monitor brackets (45), wherein said desk unit (24) is longitudinally adjustable relative to said base frame (10) so as to selectively adjust its distance from the monitor frame assembly (11), and said inner frame (32) is vertically adjustable within, and relative to, said outer frame so as to selectively adjust its height relative to said base frame; and further wherein respective locking means are provided to releasably lock said desk unit and said inner frame in a selected position.
