The transmission wire is connected to the table board, the transmission roller, and the drive rod assembly. The drive rod assembly can be pushed/pressed by the user, the transmission roller driving the table board and the weight plate assembly to move. User can step on the drive rod assembly at any time to lift the weights and achieve fitness.

Embodiments herein disclose a device for people to stay warm outdoors. A preferred embodiment comprises a heating device and method for warming people who are sitting outdoors using a table, a heater located under the table, and a blanket that encircles the tabletop, and has an inner edge that is removably secured to the tabletop. The heater includes a supply line and a regulator to control the quantity of fuel to the heater. The embodiment includes a blanket support that encircles and is attached to the table. When the device is not in use, the blanket can be stored in the blanket support. The opening in the middle of the blanket approximates the perimeter of the tabletop. People sit in chairs around the table, pick up the blanket from the blanket support and place the outer portion of the blanket on their laps.

A student enclosure assembly for protecting an individual from airborne pathogens includes an enclosure that is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to protect an occupant from pathogens. The enclosure has a plurality of air holes each extending through the enclosure to pass air into the enclosure. A plurality of filters is each integrated into the enclosure to filter pathogens from the air passing through the air holes. A pair of doors is each hingedly coupled to the enclosure for opening and closing the enclosure. A desk is positioned within the enclosure such that the desk is accessible to the user. A bench is positioned within the enclosure and the occupant can sit on the bench.

A height-adjustable desk is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a work surface, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a core body, and a working body that provides the work surface. The core body may include lifting mechanisms such that the work surface of the desk may be positioned for a person in a standing and/or sitting position. The working body may include a control interface configured to be manually engaged by the user, to control lifting and/or lowering of the work surface of the desk.

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.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which a coffee table has a hidden pop-up compartment that encloses and deploys user computer equipment.

While standing desks take up their own floor space in a home or housing unit, which can diminish the usability of the space and be costly to work, working-from-home, and daily life, and are a separate item a home resident/worker/student must acquire, the refrigerator installed in or near the kitchen is considered essential to a home, or housing unit and already takes up an expected place on the home's unit's floor space. The space in front of the refrigerator is also already presumed to remain clear, because via the front refrigerator door is the way that food and beverages are stored in and accessed from the refrigerator. Because this is naturally already used space in a home, the resident utilizing that space for a second productive function of dwelling in a home—being able to work or study from home—is an improved use of the space directly in front of the refrigerator. The already-assumed refrigerator location, having an essential and unchanged footprint, also affords a top surface already. The Refrigerator Standing Desk invention is the solution to using the outer surfaces of the appliance where housing residents store food as a highly ergonomic and sustainably functioning desk where the resident can stand for work or study.

By not taking up floor space, the Refrigerator Standing Desk benefits residents, homeowners, tenants, landlords, homebuilders, housing developments, work-from-home employees, work-from-home entrepreneurs, and students. The user also benefits with the proximity and ease of chilled and stored food access.

The invention's frame consists of an alcove for the input human-computer interaction (HCI) devices and the user's arms, which is a deep indentation of empty space providing the area for the adjustable platform on which can rest the computer keyboard, mouse, and user's hands, wrists, and forearms. The alcove shaped area in the Refrigerator Standing Desk affords use of the keyboard and mouse in an ergonomic standing position.

Additional innovation consists of: A platform to secure, support, protect, raise, lower, tilt, shift left and right, and connect the user' s laptop or portable computer. A monitor attachment system, consisting of a groove into which a flat monitor can be secured An addition of cabling space designated within the walls of the known refrigerator appliance, and surfacing through the walls at designated port-connection locations such as the unit top surface and the mid-height alcove surface. The cabling channels are spaces through which data typical connection cables (such as USB) can be fed, connecting keyboard, mouse, and monitor connection with the state-of-the-art technology. The connection cab
