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.

Abstract: An article of furniture can include an upper beam member, a first side member, a second side member, and a plurality of attachment bracket members connecting the first side member to the upper beam member adjacent a first side of the upper beam member and also connecting the second side member to the upper beam member adjacent a second side of the upper beam member. Each attachment bracket members can have a body and a plurality of arms extending from the body. The arms can include a first and second top arms, first and second intermediate arms, and first and second bottom arms. The arms can be positioned to define channels.

Abstract: An enclosure assembly apparatus can include a plurality of elements that can be arranged to facilitate positioning of an enclosure in a work space such as a room or floor of an office building or other building. Embodiments can be configured to facilitate relatively quick and level positioning of such an enclosure. Embodiments of the enclosure assembled via use of at least one embodiment of the enclosure assembly apparatus can be define a room, a meeting space, a privacy booth, a meeting cubicle, or other type of enclosure or work space within the room or floor of a building.

Abstract: A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated recesses. The recesses can be positioned to define locations at which a connector is positionable to adjustably position the screen body adjacent to a work surface at multiple different locations along the screen body for providing different degrees of privacy and/or modesty. A plurality of connectors can be connected to the screen body via the recesses for connecting the screen body to an article of furniture, such as a counter, a table or a desk.

Abstract: An apparatus and method can be configured to adjustably block natural light and/or overhead lighting to provide a use desired amount of light within a particular work space. Embodiments can help permit a user to adjust the light affecting that user's work space so a common lighting arrangement affecting many different work spaces' within a common area (e.g. an office floor or large office room within a building, etc.) so that the illumination provided by one or more light sources to illuminate the common area can be adjusted to meet a particular user's preferences within a particular work space within that common work area.

Abstract: An article of furniture can include a flipping actuation mechanism. A privacy screen apparatus can also be connectable to the article of furniture. The flipping actuation mechanism and the privacy screen apparatus can each be configured to facilitate flipping and stacking or nesting of tables or other types of articles of furniture.

Abstract: A table arrangement includes a height adjustment mechanisms for movement of one or more height adjustable tabletops. When more than one tabletop is present, each of the tabletops can be independently moveable. Embodiments of the table arrangement can be configured so that a user can manipulate an actuation mechanism to have the tabletop automatically moved to a pre-selected position without the user having to manually control the actuation mechanism to cause the tabletop to move to that pre-selected position.

Abstract: A chair can include armrest apparatuses. Each of the armrest apparatuses can be configured so an arm pad is connectable to an armrest without the use of a mechanical fastener (e.g. a screw, a bolt, etc.) and without the use of an adhesive or welding, and without the use of mechanical tools (e.g. screw driver, hammer, etc.) by use of interlocking mating profiles defined in the structure of the arm pad and structure of the armrest to which the arm pad is attached. Embodiments of the chair can be configured as a side chair, task chair, or other type of chair having at least one armrest or other type of armrest apparatus.

Abstract: A chair can include a chair back, or backrest, that is coupled to a base of a chair above a seat of the chair. A tilt mechanism can attach the backrest to the base. In some embodiments, the tilt mechanism can be configured so that the backrest rotates about multiple pivots as it reclines from an upright position to a reclined position to drive motion of the seat during recline of the backrest.

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.

Abstract: A privacy screen apparatus can include a body having a plurality of elongated recesses and between elongated pillow regions. The pillow regions can have a larger width than the recesses. In some embodiments, the body can be configured to bend about the elongated recesses to different configurations. A plurality of stand elements can be connected to the bottom of the body to permit the body to be free standing. In other embodiments, a plurality of connectors can be connected to the body for connecting the body to an article of furniture, such as a tabletop or a desktop.

Abstract: A table arrangement includes a height adjustment mechanisms for movement of one or more height adjustable tabletops. When more than one tabletop is present, each of the tabletops can be independently moveable. Embodiments of the table arrangement can be configured so that a user can manipulate an actuation mechanism to have the tabletop automatically moved to a pre-selected position without the user having to manually control the actuation mechanism to cause the tabletop to move to that pre-selected position.

The flipping actuation mechanism and the privacy screen apparatus can each be configured to facilitate flipping and stacking or nesting of tables or other types of articles of furniture.

Abstract: A chair can include a chair back, or backrest, that is coupled to a base of a chair above a seat of the chair. A tilt mechanism can attach the backrest to the base at spaced apart locations. In some embodiments, the tilt mechanism can be configured so that the backrest rotates about multiple pivots as it reclines from an upright position to a reclined position to drive forward motion of the seat during recline of the backrest.
