WATER RESISTANT POP-UP OUTLET
A pop-up outlet includes a lower housing configured to receive one or more conductors. A middle housing is connected to the lower housing. An upper housing is moveably connected to the middle housing. An outlet is positioned in the upper housing having an outlet body and at least one receptacle opening. A raise/lower mechanism is configured to move the upper housing with respect to the middle housing from a first position where the outlet body is positioned in the middle housing to a second position where the outlet body is exposed to a user.
Electrical receptacle assembly
An electrical receptacle assembly, comprising a housing including a back, a plurality of sides, and a front opening; a face plate attached to the housing; a support flange attached to the housing; at least one electrical outlet attached to one of the plurality of sides; a connection member attached to the back, the connection member including a plurality of openings; and a securing member for releasable engagement with the connection member, the securing member including an engagement tab and an opening for a fastener The electrical receptacle assembly can be secured to a supporting surface in an open position by a combination of fasteners and the securing member.
Systems, devices, and/or methods for managing electrical power
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a cabinet. The cabinet comprises a base and a top. The base has a substantially planar base cap. The top is positioned on the substantially planar base cap of the base. The top has a substantially planar top cap. The top comprises a plurality of electrical outlets and a plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports.
Water resistant pop-up outlet
A pop-up outlet includes a lower housing configured to receive one or more conductors. A middle housing is connected to the lower housing. An upper housing is moveably connected to the middle housing. An outlet is positioned in the upper housing having an outlet body and at least one receptacle opening. A raise/lower mechanism is configured to move the upper housing with respect to the middle housing from a first position where the outlet body is positioned in the middle housing to a second position where the outlet body is exposed to a user.
Pop-up power system
A pop-up power system with a hollow tower to support an electrical receptacle. The lid includes a lid locking mechanism, and the tower being rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A mounting sleeve receives the tower body through it and includes a locking mechanism alignable with the lid locking mechanism. A liner is positioned between the tower body and the mounting sleeve, the liner comprising a groove for the guide pin in an interior surface of the liner which surrounds and slideably engages the body and is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve. A biasing element biases the lid of the tower away from the liner and is configured to slide between an extended position and a retracted position with respect to a mounting surface so that it has an extended locked position and an extended unlocked position, a retracted locked position and a retracted unlocked position.
ACCESSORY WITH A TILTABLE ACCESSORY SUPPORT AND A LOCKING SYSTEM RELEASABLE BY MEANS OF A TILTABLE ACTUATOR BUTTON
An accessory includes: a façade plate presenting an opening; an accessory support mounted to tilt through the opening between a lowered position in which it extends below the façade plate, and a raised position in which a major portion thereof extends above the façade plate; and a locking system including a locking arm movable between a locking position in which a blocking portion of the locking arm bears against a blocking surface of the accessory support, and a release position in which the blocking portion is spaced apart from the blocking surface, and an actuator button, causing each locking arm to move, which actuator button is tiltable about a tilt axis extending parallel to the mean plane of the façade plate. Each locking arm pivots about a pivot axis perpendicular to the actuator button tilt axis, and a return mechanism continuously urges each locking arm into its locking position.

Power outlets for benches
A concealable power outlet assembly for bench mounting including: a housing for mounting fast with an underside of the bench; a power outlet sub-assembly slideably received by the housing and including an upper portion; a sensor responsive to operative force applied to the upper portion; an extension assembly including an electric actuator responsive to the sensor for sliding the power outlet sub-assembly relative to the housing in response to application of force to the upper portion to thereby bring said sub-assembly to an extended configuration or to a retracted configuration.
Quick assembly desk
A desk has legs at or near opposite lateral sides of the desk, feet, each mounted to a lower end of one of the legs and projecting from the leg to which it is mounted in at least a forward or rearward direction, a profile extending from one of the legs to the opposite one of the legs and mounted to upper end portions of the legs; and a desktop panel supported by the profile. The legs are coupled to the profile by twist lock connections. The twist lock connections are each locked or lockable against axial dislodgement by twisting of at least an end part of the leg relative to the profile about a center line of the leg. The profile projects from the legs in the rearward direction more than in the forward direction. A rearwardly projecting portion of the profile supporting the panel from below.
