IMPROVED WORKBENCH
An improved multifunctional workbench which comprises a desk element and one or more storage compartments, configured for housing documents, located under it. The desk element is made, at least partially, of a material presenting variable light transmission properties, such that it can selectively pass from a transparent configuration to an opaque configuration. Advantageously, the workbench allows to keep the desk, which is normally full of documents, clean, because makes visible the documents stored in the storage compartments below it selectively. Otherwise, it is possible to keep such documents hidden when necessary, for privacy reasons.
EQUIPPED WORK UNIT
An equipped work unit for domestic use convertible between open and closed configurations has a support frame resting on a treadable surface, and an L-shaped wall having a first upper wall and a front wall and connected to the support frame. A rotation mechanism, connected to the support frame and to the L-shaped wall, rotates the L-shaped wall between a closed L-shaped wall configuration, in which the L-shaped wall is arranged at a first height from the treadable surface, the front wall is arranged perpendicularly to the treadable surface, and the first upper wall is arranged parallel to the treadable surface at the first height, and an open L-shaped wall configuration, in which the L-shaped wall is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the closed L-shaped wall configuration to form, with the front wall, a work surface at a second height, greater than the first height, forming an open compartment beneath the work surface.
NURSING DEVICE AND STATION
A modular breast pumping station includes modular components that include: a multiuser breast pump configured to attach to disposable and recyclable tubing and breast shields; a storage area for the tubing and breast shields, and also containing storage bags for milk obtained from a user's breast; and a refrigerator for storage of the storage bags.
MULTI-FUNCTION DINING TABLE
A multi-function dining table. The dining table includes a tabletop supported by at least two pedestals, the tabletop being configured to be adjustable in a height direction relative to a floor such that the tabletop can be positioned at a sitting height, a counter height, and a standing height. The at least two pedestals are spaced and arranged to accept at least one storage cabinet under the tabletop and between the at least two pedestals.
Refrigerator Standing Desk
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
Tool cabinet
A tool cabinet includes a cabinet body having two guide rails, a working platform unit having a movable platform member and two hollow extension members, two lifting units each having a threaded rod, two driving units, and a control unit. The extension members are respectively slidable relative to the guide rails. The threaded rods respectively extend through the extension members and telescopically into the guide tubes. Each driving unit has a motor, and a speed reduction mechanism driven to rotate the threaded rod of a respective lifting unit. The control unit is connected to the motors for synchronizing movements of the motors.
WORK CHAIR WITH ADJUSTABLE TRAY
A work chair includes a chair body, a plurality of wheel sets mounted at the bottom side of the chair body, a seat cushion mounted at the top side of the peripheral wall of the chair body, two guide rails mounted at the chair body at one lateral side each defining a longitudinal sliding slot and locating notch in communication with the sliding slot, a tray, a pivot bolt pivotally connecting the tray to the sliding slots of the rail for allowing the tray to be moved along the sliding slots of the guide rails and having an engagement portion for selectively engaging in one locating notch of each guide rail to hold the tray positively at the selected elevational position for carrying tools.
Furniture article with concealed storage and a removable top
The present application relates to snap-together or press-together furniture. In a preferred embodiment, a table is provided that can be packaged and transported in a compact disassembled state, then easily assembled by the user without need for tools or hardware. Further, the table may be subsequently disassembled and re-assembled by the user as desired without need for tools or hardware.
Ruggedized portable storage and transport unit
Disclosed is a portable storage and transport unit that can be easily moved, even through rough terrain, to any desired location. The unit includes a continuous supported work surface area around its entire perimeter, as well as multiple methods of adjusting the unit's center of gravity to reduce the effort needed to move it. The unit includes an optional weather shelter, the ability to be towed by a vehicle even when fully loaded, and a separate gear rack to accommodate efficient wheeled transport of even more gear.
TABLE WITH STORAGE RACK
A table assembly can include a table top, a post assembly coupled at one end to an underside of the table top, and a base assembly operatively coupled to an opposite end of the post assembly and configured to support the table top on a floor surface. The table assembly can include one or more racks disposed above the base assembly and arranged about the post assembly. Each of the one or more racks defines an opening between the post assembly and a cross-bar of the rack configured to receive an elongate platform therethrough for storage. Optionally, the table assembly can have a height adjustment mechanism actuatable to adjust the height of the table top above the floor space.
