MULTI-POSITION TABLE
A multi-position table includes a substructure for resting on a base, a superstructure pivotable between a first table position for use while sitting and a second table position for use while standing. The superstructure includes a first support associated with the first table position, the first support having a first top surface spaced a first distance from the base when the superstructure is in the first table position; a second support associated with the second table position, the second support having a second top surface spaced a second distance from the base when the superstructure is in the second table position, the second distance being different that the first distance. The table includes a locking member for locking a first and a second adjusting element together to prevent unintended movement from the first table position to the second table position or from the second table position to the first table position.
Convertible sit-to-stand desk
A convertible sit-to-stand desk has a desktop that is manually movable into and between a lowered position and a raised position, a base that is configured to support the desktop with respect to a supporting surface, and a supporting frame that supports the desktop with respect to the base. The supporting frame facilitates movement of the desktop into and between the lowered and raised positions. The supporting frame comprises first and second sub-frame assemblies disposed on opposite sides of the desktop, respectively.
Modular building blocks for furniture
Modular building blocks may be used to provide furniture or other items. Each modular building block has a number of interleaved layers that provide first and second arms of the building block. Each modular building block comprises a first engageable finger section formed from one or more of the interleaved layers and a second engageable finger section formed from two or more interleaved layers. The second engageable finger section of one modular building block receives the first engageable finger section of another modular building block allowing various arrangements to be assembled.
INTELLIGENT OFFICE FURNISHINGS
A method of operating a desk including receiving, at a desk controller, a message from a chair, and determining a position of a user based on the message. The message includes an indication of a sensed rotation of the chair. The method also includes generating, via the desk controller, a control signal for a motor based on the position of the user. The motor is coupled to a support framework of the desk. The method further includes changing a height of the support framework of the desk according to the control signal.
LIFT-TOP DESK SYSTEM
An item of furniture having a lift-top working surface configured to elevate a part of the furniture above other, similar components. This lifting functionality is configured so that the item is usable in a variety of human ergonomic positions, such as seated and standing. Typically, the furniture is a desk, and the lift-top surface elevates a portion of the desktop from a seated to standing position using a lift mechanism or lift means hidden within a compartment of the desk body during non-use. The compartment may double as a storage, such as for cables, wires, and other typical office equipment.
MOVABLE TABLE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A movable table for a motor vehicle is provided. The motor vehicle comprises a guide track extending at least partially around an interior space of the vehicle between a plurality of seating positions for seats within the vehicle. The movable table comprises a table top, a pillar, the table top being coupled to a first end of the pillar, and a follower element provided at a second end of the pillar, wherein the follower element is configured to movably couple the table to the guide track, such that the table is movable between seats positioned at the seating positions.
SLIDING BED TABLE
Provided is a sliding and folding bed table with adjustable height, designed for use over beds in confined living spaces such as campers, camping trailers, RVs, rooftop tents, and similar environments. This table is particularly useful in areas where room around the bed is limited or where the bed is positioned close to the floor.
FRAME TYPE WORKSTATION CONFIGURATIONS
A furniture assembly comprising a first frame structure having front and rear portions and including at least a first leg member and a substantially horizontal first rail member supported by the at least a first leg member where the first rail member has a first length dimension, a substantially horizontal second rail member supported by the at least a second leg member spaced apart from the first rail member wherein an assembly space includes the space between the first and second rail members, a front portion of the assembly space adjacent the front portion of the first frame structure and a rear portion of the assembly space adjacent the rear portion of the first frame structure, a first furniture sub-assembly having first and second ends, having a first depth dimension and supported within the assembly space by the first and second rail members and a second furniture sub-assembly having first and second ends, a second depth dimension and supported within the assembly space by the first rail member and a rail member of another frame structure, wherein the combined first and second depth dimensions are less than the first length dimension.
Folding table
A folding table which can be folded into a storage position and set up into selected usable positions providing different table top heights. The outer legs are pivotally connecting to spaced apart flanges extending from a bottom surface of a table top. The inner legs are pivotally attached to the outer legs and pivotally joined to a U-shaped link bar at a selected medial position above the inner-outer leg pivot point. The free distal ends of the link bar are pivotally attached to spaced part flanges extending from a bottom surface of the table top. Pivotal movement of the link bar inward legs pivots the table top upward wherein holding means secures the link bar to the inner legs. Pivotal movement of the cross member of the link bar outward allows the inner and outer legs to spread apart at the pivot point lowering the table top to rest upon the distal ends of the inner legs.
Sliding bed table
Provided is a sliding and folding bed table with adjustable height, designed for use over beds in confined living spaces such as campers, camping trailers, RVs, rooftop tents, and similar environments. This table is particularly useful in areas where room around the bed is limited or where the bed is positioned close to the floor.
