  • Patent number: 5255478
    Abstract: Workstations with the look and feel of millwork but with the flexibility of systems furniture comprise modules constructed from a relatively few number of elements. The modules are based on several basic geometries, and comprise a horizontal work surface, a forward support panel assembly, and end panel assemblies. In addition, each module can be equipped with transactional shelves and various accessories, e.g. pull-out writing shelves and pencil drawers, drawer pedestals, courtesy shelves, lighting, etc. The elements of the modules are constructed from durable materials that are easy to maintain and clean. Certain embodiments of these workstations are particularly well adapted for use in health care settings.
