Patent number: 8468956Abstract: To provide a usable workspace for use at tradeshows, conventions and similar events, a collapsible transaction table is uniquely designed to provide transportability and flexibility regarding its setup. In its collapsed condition, the transaction table itself is contained and thereby easily transportable. In its expanded condition, components are provided to provide a usable transaction table which preferably sits at a countertop height but with which also may be modified to further extend into a countertop configuration. To achieve the counter top configuration, a pair of transaction tables are coupled with one another utilizing specifically configured bridging elements to thus create a stable and usable countertop. The transaction tables themselves include a collapsible base unit and tabletop elements which are removably attachable to the base units in an interlocking manner to provide additional stability.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Scott Parizek, Dixon Gimpel

Patent number: 5906420Abstract: An office furniture system of free standing furniture elements which can be linked to each other comprises a modular desk unit and a modular storage unit. The modular storage unit occupies the same floor footprint as a rectangular desk unit. The separate storage unit enhances the storage capacity of an office layout since the mounting of drawers and shelves are not limited by the desk unit configuration. The storage unit has compatible lay-in wiring trays, accepts compatible modular power components and accepts the same privacy partition panels and other accessories as are mounted to the desk units. When the desk unit and the storage unit are linked into an integrated office design, a continuous pathway is provided for the electrical, communication and data wiring required for the office system. Power cables are physically separated from the data and communication wires.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1997Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: Knoll, Inc.Inventors: Charles P. Rozier, Jr., Robert E.

Patent number: 5601348Abstract: An assembly comprising one or more stationary wall units, each having a recess into which rigid platform is pivotally mounted. The platform forms a wall portion in its closed position, and a bed or couch in its open position. A second smaller platform or shelf/leg is pivotally mounted with a second recess or well set into the larger platform. The shelf/leg forms a wall portion in its open position, and a shelf or support leg in its open position, depending on the position of the larger platform. The larger platform itself maybe mounted adjacent to and in front of a pivotally mounted bedframe member, thereby allowing a single wall unit to be configured to form either a wall, a wall having an added shelf, a couch or a double bed.The invention further comprises a height adjustable table allowing both a lower height coffee table and a higher height card table. At its lower height the table can also provide support to the bedframe in its open position.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1995Date of Patent: February 11, 1997Inventor: Leonid E. Minkovski

Patent number: 4570156Abstract: A work station is designed for use with electronic equipment whereby the placement of the equipment in the work station prevents undesired electromagnetic coupling between various pieces of the electronic equipment. A substantially horizontal work surface is provided between a cabinet at one end and a safe at the other end. The cabinet provides a Faraday cage for receiving a MODEM and for preventing the passage of electromagnetic radiation, whereby undesired coupling between the MODEM and other pieces of electronic equipment is substantially precluded. The safe is designed to house an encryption device. A horizontal work surface supports electronic input equipment, such as a word processor, in position for convenient use by an operator. The electronic equipment on the work surface is connected to the encryption device in the safe which is, in turn, connected to a modulator-demodulator (MODEM) in the cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1984Date of Patent: February 11, 1986Assignee: Systematics General Corp.Inventor: John J.

Patent number: 4049331Abstract: A work desk construction, particularly for typists, comprises one or more subassemblies which includes a longitudinally extending rectangular first support frame which is interconnected with a second and third transversely extending frame which extend out to respective opposite sides of the longitudinal frame. Each transverse frame includes end frame members which extend through the adjacent slide frame member of the longitudinal frame and are connected to the opposite side frame member. The frame structure is supported by legs which extend downwardly from the outer lateral ends of the transverse frames and they provide the sole support for the structure. A box-like case of substantially the same size as the longitudinal frame is supported directly on the frame and it advantageously includes compartments which open laterally at respective opposite sides of the longitudinal frame member adjacent each end thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1976Date of Patent: September 20, 1977Assignee: Karl Gutmann KG.Inventor: Karl Gutmann, Jr.
