A convertible carrel which includes a desk assembly and a carrel assembly. The desk assembly includes a first desktop, a first sidewall coupled to the first desktop, and a second sidewall coupled to the first desktop. The carrel assembly includes a second desktop, a first partition wall coupled to the second desktop, and a second partition wall coupled to the second desktop. The carrel assembly is rotatable relative to the desk assembly between: (1) an open position whereby the second desktop and the first and second partition walls extend vertically upward from the first desktop to form a privacy barrier; and (2) a closed position whereby the second desktop extends across and covers the first desktop and the first and second partition walls are hidden from view.

A projectile-resistant table provides a reduced weight by employing separate structures for table stiffness and projectile resistance, for example, using a sandwich structure composite with high stiffness and tow projectile resistance for table integrity and a flexible fiber mat with low stiffness but high projectile resistance for shielding.

Disclosed are mobile tables and table assemblies having a selectively rotating table top relative to the table frame. A mobile table including a selectively rotatable table top that is configured to securely rotate about an axis in an unlocked position and to be secured in a predetermined plane in a locked position; and two spaced apart frame members securely connected to the selectively rotatable table top positioned on a first end of each spaced apart frame member and movement members attached to a second end of each spaced apart frame members that are configured to selectively move the mobile table to and from desired locations.

A table includes a frame, a rotatable component, and a rotation mechanism. The frame has a pair of rotation bearings. The rotatable component has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. The rotatable component includes a pair of pivot portions supported by the pair of rotation bearings. The rotatable component further includes a first work surface configured to support preparation of a first wiring harness in the first rotation position. The rotatable component further includes a second work surface configured to support preparation of a second wiring harness in the second rotation position. The rotation mechanism is coupled with the rotatable component and is configured to rotate the rotatable component between at least the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

A latch release assembly for folding furniture is provided for simultaneously releasing a plurality of latchable hinges. A rigid elongate member is connected at each end to a latch release lever of a latchable hinge. The rigid elongate member simultaneously transfers a releasing force to each release lever in order to actuate and open the connected latches to allow the latchable hinges to open and pivot. The latch release assembly may be fitted to a table top and table support frame to provide a latching hinge system for a folding table to allow a user to actuate a table from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation to facilitate compact and space-saving storage.

A flip top table includes a leg assembly supporting an axle defining a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction. A strike plate is non-rotatably secured to the axle, with the strike plate having first and second circumferentially spaced and radially extending stop surfaces. A worksurface is rotatably supported on the axle and includes first and second circumferentially spaced stop surfaces. The worksurface is rotatable about the rotation axis between a use position and a stowed position. A latch assembly is coupled to and rotatable with the worksurface between the use and stowed positions. The latch assembly includes a lock bolt moveable in the longitudinal direction between a disengaged position, wherein the lock bolt is longitudinally displaced from the strike plate, and an engaged position, wherein the lock bolt engages the second stop surface of the strike plate when the worksurface is in the use position. An actuation mechanism is also provided.

A flip-top table has a tabletop attached to a frame through a pivoting assembly. The tabletop is made from a ballistic-resistant material allowing it to be used as a ballistic shield when it rotates from its horizontal working position to a vertical shielding position. A front modesty panel is also ballistic-resistant and is mounted between the front legs of the frame. A lift speed restrictor is connected between the tabletop and the frame which prevents the user from lifting the tabletop too quickly which could topple the table, and it includes a biasing mechanism that provides a lifting force and helps to hold the tabletop in the shielding position. The table also includes visual indicators that readily indicate to persons around the table that the table can be converted into a ballistic shield. Casters allow one or more tables to be quickly moved and repositioned into a defensive arrangement.

Disclosed are mobile tables and table assemblies having a selectively rotating table top relative to the table frame. A mobile table including a selectively rotatable table top that is configured to securely rotate about an axis in an unlocked position and to be secured in a predetermined plane in a locked position; and two spaced apart frame members securely connected to the selectively rotatable table top positioned on a first end of each spaced apart frame member and movement members attached to a second end of each spaced apart frame members that are configured to selectively move the mobile table to and from desired locations.

The present disclosure discloses a folding table comprises a table board, a support leg, and a bracket connected between the table board and the support leg. A top portion of the bracket is disposed with an upper crossbar. The upper crossbar is positioned on a rear portion of a bottom surface of the table board, and the table board is configured to rotate about the upper crossbar. A bottom portion of the table board is disposed with one or more pawls, and the upper crossbar is disposed with one or more lock plates. Edges of the one or more lock plates comprise at least one ratchet wheel groove. When the one or more pawls are disposed in the at least one ratchet wheel groove, the table board is configured to rotate upward.
