The adjustable tray system may be used in conjunction with a height adjustment platform, such as for an adjustable keyboard tray of a height adjustable desk.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED OPERATION OF MOVEABLE ROBOTIC ELEMENTS

Embodiments of this application describe improved techniques for operating moveable furniture items. The techniques can include configuring a moveable furniture item such that it will not pivot of tip over during normal operating conditions. The techniques can also include certain passive safety features, such as selecting components that experience a fail condition if a certain threshold condition is reached. In some embodiments, the furniture item can be programmed to operate in various modes, desirable in certain circumstances. The techniques described herein can improve both the functionality and the safety of moveable furniture items.

Refrigerator Standing Desk
20230194153 · 2023-06-22 ·

While standing desks take up their own floor space in a home or housing unit, which can diminish the usability of the space and be costly to work, working-from-home, and daily life, and are a separate item a home resident/worker/student must acquire, the refrigerator installed in or near the kitchen is considered essential to a home, or housing unit and already takes up an expected place on the home's unit's floor space. The space in front of the refrigerator is also already presumed to remain clear, because via the front refrigerator door is the way that food and beverages are stored in and accessed from the refrigerator. Because this is naturally already used space in a home, the resident utilizing that space for a second productive function of dwelling in a home—being able to work or study from home—is an improved use of the space directly in front of the refrigerator. The already-assumed refrigerator location, having an essential and unchanged footprint, also affords a top surface already. The Refrigerator Standing Desk invention is the solution to using the outer surfaces of the appliance where housing residents store food as a highly ergonomic and sustainably functioning desk where the resident can stand for work or study.

By not taking up floor space, the Refrigerator Standing Desk benefits residents, homeowners, tenants, landlords, homebuilders, housing developments, work-from-home employees, work-from-home entrepreneurs, and students. The user also benefits with the proximity and ease of chilled and stored food access.

The invention's frame consists of an alcove for the input human-computer interaction (HCI) devices and the user's arms, which is a deep indentation of empty space providing the area for the adjustable platform on which can rest the computer keyboard, mouse, and user's hands, wrists, and forearms. The alcove shaped area in the Refrigerator Standing Desk affords use of the keyboard and mouse in an ergonomic standing position.

Additional innovation consists of: A platform to secure, support, protect, raise, lower, tilt, shift left and right, and connect the user' s laptop or portable computer. A monitor attachment system, consisting of a groove into which a flat monitor can be secured An addition of cabling space designated within the walls of the known refrigerator appliance, and surfacing through the walls at designated port-connection locations such as the unit top surface and the mid-height alcove surface. The cabling channels are spaces through which data typical connection cables (such as USB) can be fed, connecting keyboard, mouse, and monitor connection with the state-of-the-art technology. The connection cab
