An exercise workstation includes a treadmill, a pedal exercise device disposed on or next to the treadmill, and a chair pivotally secured to the exercise workstation. The chair can be repositioned relative to the treadmill, such as above or to the side of the treadmill. A pivot arm is pivotally connected to a pivot joint to permit multiple positional adjustments of the chair. The pivot joint may be connected to the treadmill in fixed or movable position. The exercise workstation may include or be positioned adjacent to one or more work surfaces, such as a height adjustable desk or table.

An adjustable combined seat and desk includes a seat having an upper surface upon which a person can sit and a lower surface capable of resting on a horizontal support surface. An elongated intermediate member connects the front of the seat to the rear of an upper substantially planar desk. The connections between the intermediate member and the seat and between the intermediate member and the desk are made through the use of hinges that allow the angles between them to be adjusted. The hinges include locks for locking the seat and/or desk to be locked in numerous different positions. As a result, the distance between the seat and desk can be adjusted as can the angles between them. Even further, the combined seat and desk can be folded into a collapsed condition for ease of storage or carrying.

The present invention provides an ergonomic multi-positionable workstation having independently positionable and adjustable seating and work area components. The seating components can further comprise back, leg support, and head support components, and the work area components can further comprise a work surface or desk area and areas for accommodating a computer keyboard and monitor.

The present invention relates to a functional complex desk system comprising: an electromotive chair assembly as a seat on which a user sits; a monitor-equipped multi-joint table device which has a monitor and a main table arranged at one side of the monitor, and which movably support the monitor and the main table in a multi-joint manner; a user position tracking unit for tracking the optimal position that is appropriate for the body condition or posture of the user having sat on the electromotive chair assembly; and a system controller for automatically controlling the operation of the monitor-equipped multi-joint table device so that the monitor and the main table are arranged at optimal positions according to the modified posture of the user on the basis of the tracking signal of the user position tracking unit.

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.

A communication structure for both personal communication services and broadly disseminated communication services is described. The communication structure includes a communication unit having telecommunication capability enabling a user of the communication structure to communicate to a remote individual. The communication structure also including multiple displays capable of displaying text, image, video data and further including non-digital advertising surfaces for displaying static images and a speaker system for broadcasting messages. The multiple displays and non-digital advertising surfaces allowing for communication with individuals within visual range of the communication structure. The multiple displays having synchronization capability, allowing for coordination of the text, image and video data displayed. The communication structure being connectable to other communication structures and the multiple displays of the multiple communication structures also having synchronization capability. The multiple displays, non-digital advertising surfaces and speaker system providing a communication platform for widespread dissemination of advertisements and other messages.

The present invention provides an ergonomic and fully-adjustable user work station system and method of use. In one embodiment, the system provides a work station apparatus for a user comprising: a base; a stool comprising a seat, the stool interconnected with the base and extending in a vertical direction; a first mast extending in a vertical direction and interconnected with the base; and a work surface element interconnected with a proximal portion of the first mast; wherein the work surface element may be reached by the user when the user is seated on the stool. In one embodiment, the work station apparatus further comprises an adjustable anterior chest support and head support.

Improvements to a desk and exercise semi-recumbent bicycle is disclosed, the desk allows a person exercising while utilizing the desk with a computer, as a table or read a book. The desk has a 6-way adjustment relative to the seat for elevation of the desk, angle, sliding forward and backward of the desk or the proximity of the desk relative to the chair and or the pedals. The desk pivots to allow the desk to be easily tilted towards the user when they are studying and tilted away from the user when the user wants to exit the exercise bicycle. The dimension from the seat to the pedals is adjustable to accommodate these different desires. The amount of resistance can be adjusted to increase or decrease the difficulty to accommodate different levels of activity. A recording mechanism can count distance, elapsed time, calories or other information.

A collapsible desk system is provided. The desk system may include first and second elongate members having a common central pivot and being pivotal relative to one another in a scissor-like manner. A seat may be attached to one of the elongate members. A support member may be cooperable with the elongate members to selectively retain the elongate members in one or more orientations. A desk top may be pivotally attached to a column. The members, seat, column, and desk top may be arranged with one another to transition between at least a collapsed and an expanded position. A knee support may be mounted to one of the elongate members. The desk top may define a side face having a groove extending about at least a portion of a perimeter of the desk top and the groove may be sized to receive a first fastener tab of an accessory.

A furniture assembly comprising a first frame structure having front and rear portions and including at least a first leg member and a substantially horizontal first rail member supported by the at least a first leg member where the first rail member has a first length dimension, a substantially horizontal second rail member supported by the at least a second leg member spaced apart from the first rail member wherein an assembly space includes the space between the first and second rail members, a front portion of the assembly space adjacent the front portion of the first frame structure and a rear portion of the assembly space adjacent the rear portion of the first frame structure, a first furniture sub-assembly having first and second ends, having a first depth dimension and supported within the assembly space by the first and second rail members and a second furniture sub-assembly having first and second ends, a second depth dimension and supported within the assembly space by the first rail member and a rail member of another frame structure, wherein the combined first and second depth dimensions are less than the first length dimension.
