Flip top table
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.
Display positioning apparatus and method
An apparatus for positioning an electronic display can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases, the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position.
Coupling arrangement and furniture piece
A coupling arrangement for two panels (12, 13) that are movable relative to one another may include comprises a first and a second guide track; (1, 2) and a first and a second guide pin (5, 6) for engaging in the guide tracks (1, 2). The first guide track describes a straight path having a starting point and an end point. (E1), and the The second guide track describes a first straight section which is arranged parallel to the first guide track, a circle section and a second straight section which extends parallel to the first guide track. In the case of a piece of furniture having a first panel and a second panel, the panels are coupled together with the aid of a coupling arrangement such that, from a starting position of the panels (12, 13), a guided translation (T1, T2) and a guided rotation of the panels (12, 13) with respect to one another can take place in succession.

Furniture system
A furniture system is disclosed comprising a guiding bracket (1), a first furniture part (8) and a second furniture part (13). The first furniture part (8) is movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along a sliding direction (SD). The guiding bracket (1) comprises a through-going passage (3) forming part of a guide and having an extension coinciding with the sliding direction (SD), and an attachment protrusion (11) having an extension in a direction transverse the sliding direction (SD). The second furniture part (13) comprises a recess (12) arranged to lockingly receive the attachment protrusion (11) of the guiding bracket (1). The first furniture part (8) comprises a rail (7) arranged to extend through the through-going passage (3) of the guiding bracket (1) and to be slidable along said through-going passage (3) thereby allowing the first furniture part (8) to be movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along the sliding direction (SD).
