A folding table includes a support stand, a fold mechanism, and a table top. The support stand includes a top seat having a first engaging portion. The fold mechanism includes a fold seat pivoted to the top seat, a resilient unit, and an operating member having a second engaging portion. When the table top is at an unfolded position, the operating member is operable from a lock state, where the second engaging portion of the operating member is biased by the resilient unit to engage the first engaging portion of the top seat, to an unlock state, where the second engaging portion is disengaged from the first engaging portion against a resilient force of the resilient unit, thereby permitting pivot movement of the table top to the folded position.

A height-adjustable work station includes (a) a partition wall having an internal wall frame and axially opposed first and second exterior wall surfaces mounted to the wall frame, the first and second exterior wall surfaces spaced axially apart by a wall thickness; (b) a carriage support located within the wall thickness and mounted to the wall frame, the carriage support including a vertical track; (c) a carriage mounted to the carriage support in sliding engagement with the track; (d) a work surface assembly movably supported by the carriage on a first side of the wall; and (e) a linear actuator mounted within the wall thickness and coupled to the carriage, the actuator configured to vertically translate the carriage along the track for facilitating height adjustment of the work surface assembly.

The present invention comprises a novel device with the combined functionality of (1) a piece of furniture and (2) a volumetric light display system, depending on its mode. The third key component of the invention is an actuation system, allowing the invention to change its functionality between that of a piece of furniture and that of a volumetric light display system, achieved by physically moving the device or a portion of the device through space. Such an actuation system is comprised of any number of controllers and powered actuators or actuation subsystems to enable the device to change between a furniture mode and a volumetric light display system mode.

A storable dual-use table having a reversible desktop with a desk on one side and a pad on the other side to convert from a rehabilitation table to a desk by flipping the desktop over. The desktop can be stored apart from the support structure of desktop frame and legs. The table has height adjustable legs to provide different heights depending on whether the table is being used as a table or as a desk. A leg storing system allows the legs to be folded parallel to the desktop frame in order for the support structure to be compact for storage.
