ARTICLE OF FURNITURE AND METHOD OF INSTALLING SAME
An article of furniture can be configured to allow for a toolless installation via use of one or more attachment bracket members. The article can be configured to facilitate the distribution of power and/or data wiring to different articles as well as support one or more articles (e.g. privacy screens, shelving, displays, etc.). The article can be configured to be mobile for allowing a work space to be adjusted to alter the arrangement or spacing of different work stations within a work area (e.g. an office, a floor of a building, etc.).
ILLUMINATED TOP FURNITURE
Illuminated top furniture including an illuminated top portion and a support portion. The illuminated top portion includes a support layer, at least one light source, a light diffusion layer and an upper protective layer. The at least one light source is mounted to the support layer. The light diffusion layer is positioned on a side of the at least one light source that is opposite the support layer. The upper protective layer is positioned on a side of the light diffusion layer that is opposite the support layer. At least a portion of the upper protective layer is transparent such that light emitted by the at least one light source is visible through the upper protective layer while the light diffusion layer obscures the at least one light source so that the at least one light source is not visible through the upper protective layer. The support portion is attached to the illuminated top portion to support the illuminated top portion above a ground surface.
Apparatus, system, and method for positioning and powering devices
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has an adjustable attachment assembly including at least one movable member, a body assembly that is movably attached to the adjustable attachment assembly, a movable assembly that is movably attached to the body assembly, a power storage disposed in at least one of the movable assembly and the body assembly, and a device stand assembly movably attached to the movable assembly. The adjustable attachment assembly is movable in a first direction relative to the body assembly. The movable assembly is movable in a second direction relative to the body assembly that is different from the first direction.
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.
Cable management system and modesty panel for height adjustable desk
A modesty panel includes a back cover adjacent the underside of the worksurface, a power strip or power bar having at least one electrical outlet, a cord system electrically connected to the power bar and an electrical power supply, the cord system including at least one cable. A cable management track is positioned adjacent the back cover. The track has a track sidewall that defines a cable entrance portion including a cable entrance opening, a cable storage portion extending from the cable entrance portion and including a cable exit opening, and a cable guide. The cord system extends through the entrance opening and the exit opening in the track, such that a length of the cord system is positioned within the cable management track, and wherein as the height adjustable table is moved to a lower position, the length of cord system within the track increases, with a portion of the cord system engaging the cable guide to route the cord system into the cable storage portion of the cable management track.
Stacking outlet enclosures
A stacking power outlet enclosure system for installation in a tower pedestal table, the tower pedestal table having a column extending up from a base. The stacking power outlet enclosure system including at least one enclosure and an electrical power outlet board within the enclosure. The electrical power outlet board having electrical power receptacles positioned on opposite sides of the board. The receptacles being accessible on opposite sides of the enclosure, the enclosure being insertable into the column, and the power receptacles being available through the column.
STACKING OUTLET ENCLOSURES
A stacking power outlet enclosure system for installation in a tower pedestal table, the tower pedestal table having a column extending up from a base. The stacking power outlet enclosure system including at least one enclosure and an electrical power outlet board within the enclosure. The electrical power outlet board having electrical power receptacles positioned on opposite sides of the board. The receptacles being accessible on opposite sides of the enclosure, the enclosure being insertable into the column, and the power receptacles being available through the column.
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.
Actuator system and multifunctional table comprising such an actuator system
The invention relates to an actuator system (100) for a table (200) having at least two table legs (210) of variable length and a table top (220) held by the table legs (210), characterized in that it comprises at least two master cylinders (10), each having a cylinder (10a) and a piston (10b) movable in the cylinder (10a) and a piston rod (10c) for moving the piston (10b), wherein a slave cylinder (20) having a cylinder (20a) and a piston (20b) movable in the cylinder (20a) for changing the length of the table leg (210) is connected to each of the master cylinders (10) by means of a conduit (40) allowing fluid (30) flow between the master cylinder (10) and the slave cylinder (20), and wherein the piston rods (10c) of the master cylinders (10) are mechanically connected to each other by means of a rigid connecting element (45), and wherein a drive unit (52) in a rigid drive connection (50) with the connecting element (45) is connected to the connecting element (45) for simultaneously moving the pistons (10a) of the master cylinders (10). The invention further relates to a multifunctional table (200) comprising an actuator system (100) according to the invention.
