A work table improvement for supporting and fabricating a solid surface is disclosed. The work table has a plurality of table rails, wherein each table rail has a rail top surface and a rail channel running along at least a portion of the rail length on the rail top surface. The table also includes a plurality of channel pucks comprised of a compressible material. Each channel puck has a puck top and a puck tongue, and the puck tongue further includes a necked region, a flared region, and a tapered region. The pucks are constructed to be installed into the rail channel in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the rail top surface.

A double top-plate desk comprises a lower or first top plate 10, leg parts 40 for supporting the first top plate 10, and an upper or second top plate 20 which is substantially the same in size and shape as the first top plate 10, disposed above and substantially in parallel with the first top plate 10, slidably toward the rear (R) of the desk. The top plate 20 is slidable relative to the first top plate 10, from a state in which the two top plates are laid to overlap one above the other, toward the rear of the desk. To this end, a slide mechanism 30 is provided between the upper surface of the first top plate 10 and the lower surface of the second top plate 20 while supporting the second top plate 20 slidably toward the rear of the desk above the first top plate 10.

Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for positioning an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.

The present invention provides an extended table for use as a piece of furniture, comprising a table with a top surface, two or more leaves lying at least partially parallel on adjacent planes in the unextended position, and being possible to draw the leaves apart in a plan view and each leaf is supported by a crank arm which is obliquely placed at a certain degree on the leaf, a gear assembly is housed in the table base connects the cranks arms together so that they can be moved angularly simultaneously with respect to one another. In the extended position, the leaves lie in the same plane as the table surface.

A sliding control mount assembly for movably mounting a control box to an adjustable desk includes a track that is mountable on an adjustable desk having the track extending along a lateral axis of the adjustable desk. A slide is slidably insertable into the track and the slide is slidable along an entire length of the track. A control box for the adjustable desk is coupled to the slide thereby facilitating the control box to be movable along the lateral axis of the adjustable desk. In this way the slide can accommodate location preferences of a user with respect to the control box. A closure is insertable into the track to inhibit the slide from being removed from the track.
