SMART DESK
A smart desk includes a desk body and at least one desk leg. The desk body includes a desktop and a DC power supply installed on the desk body. In addition, the DC power supply includes a voltage adjustment unit connected thereto in order to adjust an output DC voltage value depending upon the needs. The desk leg is attached onto the bottom surface of the desk body for supporting thereof. Accordingly, the smart desk is able to provide the functions of reading, office working, item storage, and providing a DC power source.
Rack for electronic devices
A detachable, multifunctional rack for electronic devices includes a rectangular platform (1) including a lower board (10) secured to an underside, two sets of a plurality of hollow members (11) on two sides of the lower board (10) respectively, and a space (15) under the lower board (10); two L-shaped supports (2) mounted to two sides of the platform (1) respectively, each support (2) including a horizontal member (21) releasably secured to either side of the platform (1), a vertical member (22) releasably secured to the horizontal member (21), and a plurality of aligned, spaced tubular members (23) on one side of the horizontal member (21); and two pins (14) each passing through one set of the hollow members (11) and the tubular members (23) at either side of the platform (1) to fasten the platform (1) and the supports (2) together.
Multipurpose desk with an integrated computer system
A multipurpose with an integrated computer system uses a desk and a drawer computer to provide a user with enhanced safety for themselves and their data. The desk has a support structure, a tabletop, an antiballistic shell, a concealment cavity, a computer enclosure, and a storage compartment. The support structure is a rigid frame onto which the tabletop is mounted. The antiballistic shell is a protective layer of material that wraps around the lateral surface of the support structure so that bullets and flying debris cannot harm the user or the drawer computer. The concealment enclosure is a cavity within the desk that functions as a personal bunker into which the user can crawl. The drawer computer is a personal computing device that is mounted within the computer enclosure. Finally, the storage compartment is a drawer or cabinet that can be used for storing personal items.
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE FOR FURNITURE
A furniture electrical system includes an electrical power unit including a housing that is mountable to a furniture article and that defines an interior cavity, with a low voltage DC electrical outlet positioned in the interior cavity. An electrical power cord is in electrical communication with the electrical outlet and exits the housing, the power cord extending to a higher voltage DC power supply associated with an electric motor for raising and lowering a furniture article. An electrical power converter in the housing reduces the voltage from the higher voltage DC power supply to the low voltage DC electrical outlet. Optionally, an indicia lamp associated with each outlet illuminates at a first luminous intensity when the outlet is energized, and illuminates at a different second luminous intensity when the outlet is energized and supplying power to an electrical power consumer.
DESK HAVING HIDDEN LIFT LAMP
A desk having a hidden lift lamp includes a desk body, a desk lamp, an electric traction device, and a control device. The desk top is provided with the desk lamp that can be ascended and descended. The desk lamp is controlled by the electric traction device and the control device. When in use, the desk lamp is ascended and suspended above the desk top. When not in use, the desk lamp is descended and hidden on the desk top, so that the user can fully use the desk top space.
System for detecting usage and position of a height adjustable work surface
A system for detecting usage and position of a height adjustable work surface is disclosed that includes a smart hub device that uses a set of sensors to collect sensor data to determine whether a work area is occupied or unoccupied, and to also collect work area usage data for further analysis regarding the details of usage of the work area.
ACCESSORY SUPPORT BRACKET
A bracket configured to selectively couple an accessory to a piece of furniture, where the bracket includes a backing plate including a pair of longitudinally extending opposed side rails and a rack having a plurality of teeth, the teeth extending between the pair of opposed side rails. A stationary clamping platform is fixedly coupled to the backing plate, where the accessory is supported by the stationary clamping platform. A moveable clamping platform has a clamping surface oriented parallel to the clamping surface of the stationary clamping platform, where the moveable clamping platform is coupled to the opposed side rails to be selectively moveable along the backplate. A locking mechanism is supported by the moveable clamping platform and is rotatable relative to the moveable clamping platform, where the locking mechanism includes a plurality of teeth configured to selectively meshingly engage with the rack.
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.
Modular furniture unit having power distribution
A modular furniture unit can be configured to provide power distribution in conjunction with other furniture features. Embodiments of furniture arrangements may utilize one or more modular furniture units to provide one or more of such features (e.g. storage, seating, privacy, work surface, lighting, etc.). In some embodiments, the modular furniture unit includes an elongated upper member having an upper slot that has a first end and a second end opposite its first end. At least one leg is attached to the first end and at least one leg is attached to the second end. The elongated upper member may have a channel through which power cabling passes and outlets that are connected to such cabling. Different elements can be connected to the upper member via the upper slot or a downward facing opening of the upper member and/or to the legs to provide different furniture arrangements.
DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE TABLES
A device for controlling height-adjustable tables, wherein a plurality of tables is connected to said device. The use of this device allows all tables that are connected to the device to be controlled using only one control unit that is also connected to said device. Accordingly, equipping each table with a separate control unit is rendered superfluous by this device. This makes the entire design simpler and more cost-effective.
