A mobile desk system that allows for the transportation of a seat, a desk, and additional materials by a single user. The desk and associated chair combine to form a transportation unit that can be operated by a user with one hand. The transportation unit can also carry additional equipment. Once the transportation unit is at the desired location, the equipment is offloaded and the desk and chair are set up per the user's needs.

A mobile desk assembly for provision of a mobile and transportable workstation includes a first leg, which is positioned between a pair of first plates and engaged thereto by a plurality of first pins so that the first plates bracket the first leg. A seat is engaged to a first end of the pair of first plates. A rod is engaged via a first pivot pin to the first plates, proximate a second end thereof. A pair of second legs is hingedly engaged to the rod distal from the first plates. The first leg, the rod, and the second legs are selectively positionable in a deployed (tripodal) and a collapsed configurations. The first and second legs each have a wheel rotationally engaged thereto. A panel engaged to an upper terminus of the first leg is substantially parallel to the surface and can support an article positioned thereupon.

An example article of furniture includes a number of furniture legs having mechanically coupled thereto a respective furniture caster having a rolling component. The furniture casters are movable between (i) an extended position in which their rolling components at least partially extend below bottom surfaces of the furniture legs and (ii) a retracted position in which their rolling components are positioned entirely above the bottom surfaces of the furniture legs. Push-pull cables are mechanically coupled to the furniture casters, and at least one actuator is mechanically coupled to the push-pull cables. When actuated, the actuator applies a pushing force to the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the retracted position to the extended position. When the actuator is not actuated, the pushing force is removed from the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the extended position to the retracted position.

The invention is a customizable, slidable shelving and support apparati and system for supporting, storing and accessing horticultural and agricultural specimens within growing spaces, allowing growers to utilize the maximum amount of their linear horizontal and vertical grow space and service specific areas of the garden enterprise while also allowing for maximum workspace through the use of a table and track system that provides stackable options of multiple grow layers. A method of using this slidable shelving and support apparati and system is also included.

A table dedicated to facilitating the comfort, efficacy, and enjoyment of assembling a jigsaw puzzle which may be adjusted for height, tabletop tilt angle and tabletop rotation, and location. The table has a specialized surface to hold the puzzle pieces in place, an accessory bracket to add accessories such as trays, puzzle box top holder, magnifying glass and other implements to enhance the assembly experience. Trays for sorting puzzle pieces may be attached and detached from a specialized bracket mounted on a support structure. The tabletop may be positioned high enough to be used while standing upright. The use of this table apparatus for other activities is anticipated.

A reusable handling device is specially designed for transporting components of a checkout station to a location within the store where the checkout station is installed. The handling device includes casters and is designed to removably mount to a checkout station component (e.g., bagger) having adjustable feet when there is a need to move or transport the checkout station component (e.g., during installation). Generally, the handling device is configured to extend between and engage two of the adjustable feet of the checkout station component. Two or more handling devices can be mounted to the checkout station component to move the checkout station component during installation and can be removed when finished. After the installation is complete, the handling devices can be returned to the manufacturer or supplier of the checkout station component for use in another installation.

A workstation and furniture combination is provided. The combination is enabled with height adjustability of a top surface and via a concealed power source that also provides concealed charging of electrical devices. Moreover, a dropdown drawer coupled below the display surface of the furniture affords a worksurface for the electrical device when the present invention is in the workstation mode.

A furniture base (10) is disclosed comprising a frame structure (12) and an actuator device (33) that is rotatably supported in the frame structure about a rotational axis. The furniture base (10) further comprises a plurality of wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79) that are movably attached to the frame structure (12) between an upper position and lower position relative to the frame structure (12). The wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79) are connected to the actuator device (33) for movement of the wheel unit (76, 77, 78, 79) between the upper and lower position. The furniture base (10) further comprises a locking mechanism (46) for locking of the wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79) in the lower position of the wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79). The locking mechanism (46) comprises a guide pin (47) that projects out from the actuator device (33) and is attached to the actuator device (33) swingably relative to the actuator device (33). The furniture base (10) further comprises a guide device (53) that guides the movement of the guide pin (47) when the actuator device (33) is rotated for movement of the wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79) between the upper and lower positions of the wheel units (76, 77, 78, 79).
