Abstract: A table and a method of locking a table are disclosed. The table includes a central tube. A first frame and a second frame are disposed on opposite sides of the central tube, a bearing is coupled to the first frame and the second frame, a weight is coupled to the central tube, and a latch is coupled to the weight. The latch blocks movement of the bearing away from the central tube until one of acceleration and deceleration of at least a predetermined amount is applied to the table.

Abstract: A device for locking a seat pan to a seat frame includes a housing, a latch, and a securing member. The housing is adapted to be secured to the seat pan. The latch includes a substantially planar portion and a shaped portion. The securing member secures the latch in the housing such that the latch is moveable between a resting position and a compressed position. The latch is adapted to move to the compressed position when the seat is urged into the seat frame, and, if urged further, to return to the resting position to entrap the cross member between the shaped portion and the seat pan.

Abstract: A workstation table having a first panel, a second panel, a support member, and a first deforming mechanism is disclosed. The first deforming mechanism is coupled to the first panel and the support member, and includes a first deformable member. The first panel has a first top surface and a first outer edge, and the second panel has a second top surface and a second outer edge. When a force is applied to a first outer edge, the first deforming mechanism causes deformation of the first permanently deformable member, and causes the first panel to move from a first configuration to a second configuration. In the first configuration, the first top surface and the second top surface occupy substantially parallel planes, and in the second configuration the first top surface and the second top surface do not occupy substantially parallel planes.
