Refrigerated Table with Integrated Electronic User Interface and Storage Compartment /Locker
The present one embodiment relates to a table with an integrated refrigerated storage compartment positioned below the tabletop. The apparatus further includes a transparent LCD screen integrated into the tabletop, providing a view of the contents of the refrigerated storage compartment. Access mechanism controlled by an application (app) activates actuators and motors to open and close the storage compartment securely, which doubles as a locker. Additional features include a credit card reader for payment, a temperature control system for storing chilled beverages and perishable food items, interior lighting, and a secure locking mechanism. The tabletop is made of durable, easy-to-clean material and includes an alarm system activated by light and motion sensors. The apparatus also includes a user chamber for secure storage of food and beverages during user absence and a lock that can be opened by a user's credit card or other payment methods along with the app.
Table apparatus and method
Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.
NON-PLANAR MODULAR DESKTOP SYSTEM
The utility model discloses a non-planar modular desktop system, comprising a desk body, a plurality of module bases, a covering component, a controller and an electrical wiring system. The module bases slide up and down or rotate relative to the desk body under the action of a driving mechanism. The covering component is configured to cover grooves and notches on the desk body that are compatible with the module base, and the electrical wiring system is installed on the back of the desk body. In the utility model, the module bases can be concealed beneath the desktop, keeping the desktop clean and tidy while reducing the time required for tidying; the module bases can accommodate various functional modules, and the covering component covers the grooves and the notches, transforming the desktop into a flat surface suitable for multiple uses.
MODULAR SELF-CONFIGURING INDUSTRIAL TABLE
A modular tabletop apparatus, typically used for workpiece storage and handling during robotic manipulation and feeding to a machine, is disclosed. Modules of the apparatus comprise detection interfaces disposed at locations corresponding to module edge locations and arranged in a periodic grid. Alignment of facing detection interfaces along common edges of pairs of adjacent modules permits module controllers to detect neighboring modules, and a main controller to compute the overall size and shape of the tabletop formed by the modules. Connecting arrangements are also disclosed. The connecting arrangements may be placed at the same grid locations as the detection interfaces, advantageously permitting alignment of detection interfaces for any interconnection configuration of modules. Modules may comprise plates with a grid of positioning indentations. The period of the positioning grid can be an integer multiple or integer fraction of that of the interface/connection grid.
STOWABLE WORKTOP SUSPENDED IN FRONT OF AN INTERIOR DOOR WITH OVER THE DOOR HOOKS AND ADJUSTABLE INELASTIC STRAPS FOR SITTING OR STANDING USE
A stowable and transportable, height-adjustable over-the-door suspended desk comprises a worktop sized to fit within a standard doorway, four reinforced corners, and four inelastic straps that suspend the worktop from a pair of adjustable over-the-door hooks. The worktop has the ability to be folded in half along a hinge and supported below by multiple removable cross braces. Each strap has multiple loops spaced along its length, enabling the user to raise or lower the worktop for either seated or standing use while maintaining a stable, level surface. The corner reinforcements distribute load effectively, allowing typical home office accessories. The system disassembles easily for compact storage and requires no permanent modification to the door.
Rail System for Attaching Accessories
A system for attaching accessories. The system includes a plurality of connecting members fixed to an engaging surface of an object. Each connecting member includes a channel therewithin and at least one elongate rail comprising first and second ends. The first end of the at least one rail is positioned in the channel of one of the plurality of connecting members and the second end of the at least one rail is positioned in the channel of another one of the plurality of connecting members. The at least one elongate rail is positioned a distance apart from the engaging surface of the object. A space is formed within the distance between the at least one elongate rail and the engaging surface of the object. The rail and the space are configured to receive an accessory.
