Adjustable power and data rail for desks
An adjustable power and data rail for static height and vertically adjustable desks. The adjustable power and data rail fits between the static height and vertically adjustable desks and expands as needed either horizontally or vertically to match the installation configuration with paired multiple desks. The power and data rail provides connectivity for each of the static height or vertically adjustable desks to data and power connectors.
Table dividing system and method of use
A table dividing system includes a connecting system to rest on a top surface of a table, the connecting system having a first bracket having a first portion and a second portion with one or more pre-drilled holes; and one or more connectors to extend through the pre-drilled holes; the first portion and the second portion secure to a panel; and the panel is held above the top surface of the table.
RECONFIGURABLE WORK STATION, WORK SPACE, AND WORK SPACE SYSTEM
A reconfigurable work station includes a work surface supported atop a pedestal and base. A linkage arm is affixed to the base or pedestal at a first end and pivotally connected to a fixed member at a second end. The work station can pivot, with the linkage arm, about the fixed member to be selectively positioned in multiple positions. The pedestal may be height adjustable and the work surface may be rotatable atop the pedestal. Alternatively, the work station can include two pedestals and the linkage arm can be rotatably connected to one of the pedestals to rotate the work station, as well as to pivot the work station about the fixed member. A work space includes the work station and at least one wall panel, and a work space system includes multiple work spaces. Work stations within respective work spaces can be selectively positioned in focused or collaborative configurations.
Workstation assembly
A workstation assembly that can be opened when needed is disclosed. When closed, the workstation assembly can be aesthetically pleasing and can have a reduced footprint. When opened, the workstation assembly can include a deployable screen system capable of deploying an interior screen from a door section of the workstation assembly. The screen can provide a backdrop for videoconferencing, can provide improved isolation (e.g., sound isolation, visual isolation, shared airflow isolation, and the like) for an individual within the opened workstation assembly. The deployable screen system can also include an exterior screen for providing an aesthetically pleasing exterior and improved isolation while the workstation assembly is in use. The workstation assembly can also include a surround frame with openings and light sources to provide diffuse illumination to the environment surrounding the workstation assembly, which can be especially useful when natural light is unavailable.
Chase for connecting tables
A furniture system includes a first table having a first tabletop and one or more first legs supporting the first tabletop. The first tabletop includes a first upper surface and a first lower surface opposite the first upper surface. The furniture system also includes a second table having a second tabletop and one or more second legs supporting the second tabletop. The second tabletop includes a second upper surface and a second lower surface opposite the second upper surface. A chase is coupled to the first lower surface and the second lower surface to physically connect the first table to the second table. The chase includes a first channel extending therethrough. The first channel is configured to receive one or more cables.
FURNITURE SYSTEM
A furniture system includes an elongated chase having a body extending from a first end to a second end. The body has an upper surface and a lower surface. A first leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and a second leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and spaced apart from the first leg. Power cables are positioned within a cavity of the body, the power cables configured to connect to a building's power supply. A modular power unit is coupled to the lower surface of the body. The modular power unit includes a power outlet electrically coupled to the power cables.
Office workplace system
An office workplace system includes a vertically extending frame with a base to be placed on, or fixed to, a floor, a wall, a ceiling or a desk top; and a sound reducing and/or absorbing screen. The screen is elongated, the front surface of the screen and the short edges of the screen extend vertically and the long edges of the screen extend horizontally. The frame can hold the screen at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The height of the frame is adjustable relative to its base. The lower edge of the screen can extend higher than the height of the top front surface of an office desk with which the system is used. A computer display mount for holding at least one computer display. The frame holds the display mount at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The frame can hold the display mount at a height relative to the base of the frame. The system can fix the relative height between the screen and the display mount while the height of the screen and the display is being adjusted.
Screen attachment apparatus and method of positioning a screen adjacent a work surface
A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated recesses. The recesses can be positioned to define locations at which a connector is positionable to adjustably position the screen body adjacent to a work surface at multiple different locations along the screen body for providing different degrees of privacy and/or modesty. A plurality of connectors can be connected to the screen body via the recesses for connecting the screen body to an article of furniture, such as a counter, a table or a desk.
