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.
Small mobile space
A small mobile space includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and wall modules between the top plate and the bottom plate and is connected in sequence. The top plate, the bottom plate and the wall modules jointly define an accommodating space. A door assembly is arranged on at least one of the wall modules. A joint between every two adjacent wall modules, a joint between each wall module and the top plate, as well as a joint between the bottom plate and each of wall modules are clamped respectively by using a concave-convex structure. An air inlet module is arranged in the top plate and includes an air inlet channel, and a sound absorption component in the air inlet channel. An air inlet of the air inlet channel is communicated to the outside. An air outlet of the air inlet channel is communicated with the accommodating space.
Workspace system and components and method for the use thereof
A workspace system includes different base components, different accessory interfaces and different accessories. Different accessory interfaces may be fixed to different base components, and different accessories may be releasably engaged by different, or the same accessory interfaces. The same accessories may be engaged by different accessory interfaces. The base components and accessories may be reconfigured to define different workspaces. Methods of assembling and reconfiguring the workspaces are also provided.
Personal control apparatus and method for sharing information in a collaborative workspace
A system comprising a switching device linked to a common display screen and including a wireless receiver configured to receive content, the switching device configured to use the received content to drive the common display screen and a plurality of interface devices, each interface device including an interface housing, an interface device processor, a control button mounted within the housing and a plug linked to the housing via a cable, the plug receivable within a connection port of a computing device, a first interface device including a first device processor, a first plug and a first control button, the first processor configured to perform the steps of, with the first plug received in the connection port of the first computing device and first content presented on the first display screen while other content is presented on the common display screen, detecting selection of the first control button and, upon detecting selection of the first control button, causing a wireless transmission to the switching device, upon receiving the wireless transmission, the switching device presenting the content from the first computing device display screen on the common display screen.
Height adjustable device with concealed lift mechanism
A height adjustable device including a counterbalance mechanism configured to be affixed adjacent to a rear portion of a vertical support member, a worksurface configured to be affixed adjacent to a front portion of the vertical support member, and a mounting member configured to slidably couple the worksurface to the counterbalance mechanism; wherein a portion of the mounting member extends through an opening defined in the vertical support member.
Variable height desk
A variable height desk includes: a main support; a plurality of linear guides mounted to the main support; a desk mounting panel mounted to and configured to move along the linear guides; a desk surface mounted to the desk mounting panel; and an actuator accommodated in the main support and configured to raise and lower the desk mounting panel.
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.
Grommet assembly having electrical power receptacles for use with a work surface
PEDESTAL LEG ASSEMBLY
A pedestal leg assembly includes a pedestal leg and floor base. The leg includes a plurality of teeth near the bottom end of the leg and a connecting bolt in a threaded engagement with the bottom end of the leg. The floor base includes a recessed portion having a slot in its bottom surface to receive the bolt and a release mechanism configured to pivot between a lock position and a release position. In lock position the release mechanism engages at least one of the teeth to prevent rotation of the pedestal leg in one direction. When pivoted into release position, the release mechanism is moved away from engagement with the teeth to allow rotation of the pedestal leg in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The pedestal leg assembly may include a powered connection to receive input power at the floor base and transfer the power to a supported table top surface.
Article of furniture
An article of furniture includes a top member defining a planar work surface. A support structure supports the top member in spaced relationship relative to a floor, the support structure including a plurality of legs. At least one of the legs defines a socket having an opening at a top of at least one of the legs. A power connector is arranged within the socket of at least one of the legs. The power connector is configured to make electrical contact with an electrical connector of an electrical accessory when the electrical connector is received in the socket of at least one of the legs.
