A bookcase is disclosed having a base, a top panel, and four sides extending vertically from the base to the top panel and defining four vertically extending corners. The bookcase also includes a plurality of corner cabinets extending along the corners and defining a plurality of compartments therebetween. Each corner cabinet includes at least one first shelf for storing books. The bookcase further includes a plurality of cabinets arranged inside the plurality of compartments. Each cabinet includes a plurality of second shelves. Each second shelf is adapted to be removed or moved to a stored position to provide leg space for a user sitting on a chair and using the top panel as a work surface.

A stand-alone furniture arrangement may include a primary piece of furniture and a secondary piece of furniture fixedly arranged in an L-shape. The primary piece of furniture may include a hinge allowing the primary piece of furniture to transform from a first configuration to a second configuration. The second configuration may correspond to a bed having an essentially horizontal sleeping surface and with a longitudinal extension corresponding to the intended head-to-toe sleeping orientation of a user. The hinge may extend in parallel with a longitudinal extension of the second configuration.

An overbed table may have a base support frame with at least three casters and a rechargeable battery. A motor housing with a top wall having an opening may be attached to the base support and a telescoping column that is hollow tubular is attached at a bottom end to the motor housing over the opening to extend upwardly. A linear motor is positioned in the motor housing with a linear motor actuator projecting through the opening and into the telescoping housing wherein an extension member of the linear motor actuator is attached at a top end to a slidable table column member of the telescoping housing. Servo housing is attached at a top end of the slidable table column member with a servomechanism attached in the servo housing positioned for a rotating shaft of the servomechanism to engage a circular bracket attached adjacent to a first end of a table wherein the circular bracket is rotatably engaged with the servo housing. The rechargeable battery is in electrical communication with a control processor of a control panel attached adjacent the first end of the table, to the linear motor and to the servomechanism.

Disclosed herein are foldable tables and methods for using the same. The foldable table can include at least one support member having a first and a second elongate support segments. The first support segment can be attachable to a platform. The second support segment can be slidably coupled to the first support segment along an elongate direction. The support member can be extendable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration. In one example, at least one adjustable leg can be coupled to the support member and can be movable between a storage position and a support position. In one example, the foldable table includes a plurality of hingedly coupled tabletop panels. The first and second tabletop panels can be movable between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration.

The present invention relates to a new type of furniture, which can be reconfigured into an arbitrarily large number of shapes. The changing of furniture shape is accomplished with an array of individually driven actuators which are used to displace a set of furniture components (or modules) in particular spatial amount in order to cause an overall yet arbitrary furniture shape (or look).

An extendable table includes a frame and a fixed board mounted on frame. The frame has two extension tubes arranged in parallel. The extension tube has an outer tube receiving two inner tubes therein. A gear wheel is provided on the outer tube and a gear rack is provided on each of the two inner tubes for engaging with the gear wheel, so that the two inner tubes move synchronously. The inner tube has an outer end thereof provided with a moving component. Two movable boards each have one side connected to the moving component and an opposite end laid on the fixed board. The movable boards may be drawn together to form a small tabletop or pulled apart to form, together with the fixed board, an extended tabletop. The inner tubes each have a lifting member that lifts the movable board for easy expanding/retracting operation.

Embodiments generally relate to transfer benches and, more particularly, to a transfer bench adapted to facilitate the movement into and out of an enclosure, such as a bathtub, by persons having limited mobility. A transfer bench may include first seating section, a second seating section rotatably coupled to said first seating section and configured to rotate from and between a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position, wherein the second seating section cannot rotate more than about 90 degrees from the horizontal position, a first plurality of legs configured to support the first seating section, a second leg configured to support the second seating section, and a back support member extending from a side of the first seating section perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the second seating section.

Disclosed is a portable table assembly having a table top, a hollow cylindrical stem that receives the table top, and a removable securing end cap that secures the table top to the cylindrical stem. The portable table assembly is easily assembled and adaptable for a wide variety of uses including, but not limited to, patio/porch use, outdoor/lawn gaming, parks and general recreation, outdoor sporting and concert events, tailgate parties, camping, gardening, beach use (with or without a beach umbrella), and boating.
