  • Adaptable electrical workstation module
    Patent number: 6971911
    Abstract: A workstation assembly including a worksurface having opposite sides and an electrical workstation module. The electrical workstation module includes a housing with a mounting surface adjacent one side of the worksurface, at least one modular electrical component carried by the housing, an adjustment element connected to the housing and a bracket connected with the adjustment element. The bracket has a compressive surface adjacent an other side of the worksurface and that faces the mounting surface. The compressive surface is movable in directions toward and away from the mounting surface using the adjustment element.
