Desk System
A desk system including desktop, legs, and foot elements is presented. Each leg is rotatably attached at one end to the desktop and attached at another end to one foot element which is also rotatable. The system is disposed in a stowed configuration when legs and foot elements are substantially parallel to the desktop and legs are disposed between and substantially parallel to foot elements. The system is disposed in an upright configuration when legs are substantially perpendicular to the desktop and each leg is substantially perpendicular to one foot element. The system is configured from stowed to upright by separately rotating legs about a minor axis in opposite directions away from one another and by separately rotating foot elements about a major axis in opposite directions toward one another. The system is configured from upright to stowed by separately rotating foot elements about the major axis in opposite directions away from one another and by separately rotating legs about the minor axis in opposite directions toward one another.
APPARATUS FOR ACCOMMODATING A COMPUTER
In certain embodiments, an apparatus for accommodating a computer includes a horizontal platform, docking station, and cable pathway. The horizontal platform can support a medical device. The horizontal platform has an upper surface and a rectangular recessed portion. The docking station is disposed at least partially within the recessed portion, and can connect to either a first or second computer. Each computer has a top surface and can be in an open or closed state. The cable pathway between the medical device and docking station can accommodate cables that connect the medical device to the docking station. The recessed portion can accommodate either the first or second computer when either the first or second computer is connected to the docking station, such that the top surface of the accommodated computer is level with the upper surface of the horizontal platform when the computer is in the closed state.
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.
WIRELESS CHARGER AND FURNITURE HAVING THE SAME
A wireless charger includes a main body provided with an inner space defined therein and including a supporter, a circuit part disposed on the supporter, and a coil part disposed on the circuit part and supplying a power to an external object to be charged. The main body includes a first supporting member protruding from one surface of the supporter of the main body and supporting the coil part such that the circuit part and the coil part are spaced apart from each other.
Adjustable Height Desk with Acoustical Dome
The present invention is directed to a novel workstation which incorporates an acoustical dome for increased acoustic and visual privacy for the user. The workstation further is adjustable in height such that it can accommodate a range of users from the 5.sup.th percentile seated female to the 95.sup.th percentile standing male according to the dictates of ANSI/HFES100-2007 national ergonomic standard. The workstation is further designed to be in electrical and data communication with other workstations to optimize the workstation density in an open working environment without compromising user privacy.
CANTILEVERED DESK AND COMPONENTS AND METHOD FOR THE USE THEREOF
A desk includes a frame, a coupled to the frame, and a height adjustable support column assembly coupled to the frame with a lower mounting member extending under a bottom edge of the skin and an upper mounting member extending over a top edge of the skin. A worksurface is coupled to the support column assembly and is cantilevered outwardly relative to the support column assembly. A power grommet embedded in the worksurface includes a housing, at least a first and second outlet block disposed in the housing, and a lid pivotally connected to the housing. The lid is pivotable between an open position, wherein the first and second outlet blocks are exposed along a top of the housing, and a closed position, wherein the first outlet block is exposed along a top of the housing and the second outlet block is covered by the lid.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE DEVICE WITH CONCEALED LIFT MECHANISM
A height adjustable device including a counterbalance mechanism configured to he affixed adjacent to a rear portion of a vertical support member, a worksurface configured to he 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.
System and method for a workstation power trough
A system for workstation power trough including: a planar body; an access through the planar body, the access comprising a slot, an opening, and a plurality of first notches; a panel adapted to fit within the opening; and a power trough connected to a bottom surface of the planar body, the power trough configured to enclose a power unit; whereby a cable may be routed through the access and coupled to the power unit. A method of using a workstation power trough comprising the steps of rotating the panel to an open position, routing a first end of the cable through the access into the power trough, coupling the first end of the cable to the power unit, rotating the panel to a closed position, sliding the cable along the slot, and securing the cable into one of the plurality of first notches.
Overbed table and transport chair
The present invention is an overbed table and transport chair, or more specifically, the present invention is a medical furnishing that serves as an adjustable overbed table in a first configuration and a wheeled transport chair in a second configuration. The present invention may also serve as a medical staff work station, provide storage of patient records and medical charts, storage for the patient's personal effects, personal mirror, IV stand, catheter bag stand, and secure storage for portable oxygen.
Egalitarian control apparatus and method for sharing information in a collaborative workspace
A method and system of selecting information from video sources to be displayed on at least a subset of a plurality of display screen presentation spaces, the method comprising the steps of providing at least first and second independent selectable control interfaces, each interface including a separately selectable control uniquely associated with each of the display screen presentation spaces, uniquely associating first and second video sources with the first and second control interfaces, for each control interface, receiving an indication each time one of the selectable controls is selected and, upon receiving an indication, providing the video source associated with the control interface used to make the selection to the display screen presentation space associated with the selected selectable control.
