  • Patent number: 11603703
    Abstract: A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated rungs spaced apart from each other. The rungs can be configured to facilitate releaseable attachment to screen bodies and other structures to allow for an adjustment in the extent to which a visible barrier is provided. Structures that can be connected to the rungs can also permit other functionality (e.g. attachment of a tackable surface, dry erase board, etc.) in addition to adjusting the visible barrier provided by the body of the privacy screen apparatus. A connection mechanism can be provided to facilitate a releasable attachment of such structures to the rungs without requiring use of any mechanical tools. Embodiments of the connection mechanism can be configured to also help prevent accidental disconnection to avoid accidents that could result in damage to the privacy screen apparatus or other objects.

  • Publication number: 20220364387
    Abstract: A storage apparatus having a keyless lock/unlock system. The storage apparatus may including a housing having a storage cavity and a door may be coupled to the housing. A handle is coupled to the door and defines a handle cavity. The locking system includes an electronics assembly and a locking mechanism that are in operable communication. The electronics assembly includes a reader component and an indicator component that are located within the handle cavity. The indicator component is visible through a window in the handle. When the reader component receives credential data which is then authenticated, the locking system transitions between a locked configuration whereby the locking mechanism is locked and the indicator component is in a first display state and an unlocked configuration whereby the locking mechanism is unlocked and the indicator component is in a second display state. The indicator component may be electronic paper.

  • Publication number: 20210393027
    Abstract: An apparatus configured to provide a stop for a height adjustable work surface can be configured to provide a stop to help stop a work surface from moving lower than a pre-selected height position. Embodiments of the apparatus can be configured to protect items below the work surface from being contacted by the work surface. This can help avoid dislodging electrical plugs or damage being accidentally caused to plugs or other devices that may be positioned below the work surface and within the range of motion of the vertically adjustable work surface.

  • Publication number: 20210330098
    Abstract: A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a connection mechanism configured for attachment or releasable attachment to a bottom of a work surface and/or a perimeter edge of the work surface for retaining a privacy screen body at the perimeter edge of the work surface so the body extends above the work surface. In some embodiments, the screen body can include the connection mechanism such that a portion of the screen body is foldable for attachment to the bottom of the work surface while a lower portion above the foldable portion is attachable to the perimeter edge of the work surface. In other embodiments, the connection mechanism can be a separate element that is positioned to retain or otherwise position a lower edge portion of the privacy screen body adjacent the perimeter edge of the work surface and/or in contact with the perimeter edge of the work surface.

  • Patent number: 10961700
    Abstract: A noise reduction apparatus can include a frame and multiple spaced apart panels positioned adjacent to each other. Each of the panels or only one of the spaced apart panel elements may have holes therein to receive acoustic waves for absorbing the waves between the panels. The panels can be attached to a frame or other connection structure so that the arrangement of panels can be hung over a work space or positioned in a work space (e.g. in a wall, formed as a partition or wall, included as part of shelving, etc.). The panels can also be incorporated into a light fixture that may hang from a ceiling or be attached to some other type of support (e.g. a table, a base, etc.). The panels can be composed of glass, wood, or other type of material.
