A mobile workstation with adjustable height of the present disclosure may comprise a top assembly, an adjustment assembly, and a bottom assembly. Adjustment assembly may comprise telescopically engaged segments. One or more pulleys or pulley assemblies may be disposed within one or more of the segments to allow for withdrawing and retracting segments from one another at the same rate. Actuation of the raising or lowering of the overall height of the mobile workstation may be realized through either a manual actuation or an electronic element such as a linear actuator.

A workstation includes a work surface disposed in a first horizontal plane and a multi-tiered food preparation receptacle positioned adjacent the work surface. The multi-tiered food preparation receptacle includes a first pair of rails and a second pair of rails. The first pair of rails defines a second horizontal plane and the second pair of rails defines a third horizontal plane. The third horizontal plane is located below the second horizontal plane and the second horizontal plane is located below the first horizontal plane. The first pair of rails and the second pair of rails are configured to receive items of food service equipment and permit the items of food service equipment to translate in the multi-tiered food preparation receptacle relative to one another without interference.

The present invention relates to a piece of furniture having at least one adjustable work surface. The furniture includes a mast, a work surface having a first mast hole, a torsion plate having a second mast hole that is fastened to the work surface, at least one torsion lever, a torsion spring, at least one handle, and at least one linkage. A user pulls the handle causing the torsion lever to reposition the torsion spring increasing the diameter of the torsion spring allowing the work surface to be slidably repositioned on the mast. The user then releases the handle causing the torsion lever to reposition the torsion spring such that the torsion spring constricts gripping the mast and preventing the work surface from moving horizontally or vertically along the mast.

The invention is directed to a base for chairs or tables having at least one centrally located column structure. Specifically, the invention is directed to a base composed of several parts, comprising a hub and load-carrying arms radiating therefrom. According to the invention, each arm is separately manufactured and provided with a cavity at least at its proximal end and is individually joined to protrusions on the hub which are inserted into said cavities, and the joint between arms and protrusions is glued.

A mobile workstation can include a head unit assembly. A worksurface can be coupled to the head unit assembly and configured to translate with respect to the head unit assembly between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A glide can be rotatably coupled to the head unit assembly and engaged with the worksurface. The glide can include a latch configured to translate with respect to a glide body of the glide. The mobile workstation can include a worksurface opening mechanism having a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration. The worksurface opening mechanism can include a latch release handle moveably coupled to the head unit assembly. Movement of the latch release handle can transition the worksurface opening mechanism between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration. A release assembly can selectively engage with the first latch. A lift system can bias the worksurface away from the head unit assembly.

A stabilizing arrangement (1) to support an object above four ground engaging means (2c,3c,4c,5c) has first 2, second 3, third 4 and fourth 5 levers each having a beam portion (2a,3a,4a,5a), an actuating portion (2b,3b,4b,5b) and a ground engaging means (2c,3c,4c,5c). Each lever is connected to a common interconnection means (6) by a respective pivot with a pivot axis. The levers engage consecutively first to second, second to third, third to fourth and fourth to first, via respective projections (2d,3d,4d,5d) permitting ground engaging means warp displacement and thereby the arrangement provides support of the object on uneven ground. For each lever part, the distance a between the respective ground engaging means and the respective pivot axis is a primary lever-rotating moment arm, and the distance b between the respective ground engaging means and the centre of the pivot is a friction loading distance. The friction loading distance b can be greater than or equal to the primary lever-rotating moment arm a.

The invention is directed to a base for pieces of furniture having at least one supporting column structure. The base comprises a central hub receiving the lower end of a column and a number of arms radiating from the hub. The object of the invention is to provide a furniture base which allows varying its height. This is accomplished by changing the angle between hub and arms, or by shifting the points of attachment of the arms on the hub in the vertical direction.

A flip top table with a nesting leg assembly is disclosed. The flip top table has a primary shaft having a top portion, a bottom supporting plate secured to the top portion of the primary shaft, a hinge assembly connected to a side of the bottom supporting plate, a top supporting plate coupled to the bottom supporting plate via the hinge assembly, wherein the top supporting plate is configured to receive and secure a tabletop, a locking knob operatively positioned at a bottom portion the bottom supporting plate, wherein the locking knob has a threaded portion is configured to secure the bottom supporting plate to the top supporting plate, wherein a counter force from the hinge assembly is configured to dampen a closing weight of the top supporting plate and the top supporting plate has an insert configured to receive the threads of the locking knob to lock the top supporting plate to the bottom supporting plate in a horizontal position.

A table assembly can include a table top, a post assembly coupled at one end to an underside of the table top, and a base assembly operatively coupled to an opposite end of the post assembly and configured to support the table top on a floor surface. The table assembly can include one or more racks disposed above the base assembly and arranged about the post assembly. Each of the one or more racks defines an opening between the post assembly and a cross-bar of the rack configured to receive an elongate platform therethrough for storage. Optionally, the table assembly can have a height adjustment mechanism actuatable to adjust the height of the table top above the floor space.
