Patent number: 6024427Abstract: A mobile pedestal unit having a pivotally attached arm member with a grip. The grip can be placed in a projecting position above and outwardly of an upper edge of the unit where the grip can be conveniently grasped to move the mobile pedestal unit. The grip can also be positioned above and only slightly beyond an opposite upper edge of the unit in a storage position. In the storage position the floor area required by the unit is reduced and the storage of the unit under a worksurface panel is thereby facilitated. An auxiliary platform can also be rotatably attached to the arm member. The auxiliary platform may be used as a secondary worksurface panel or shelf when oriented substantially horizontally or serve as a bookstop when allowed to hang freely in a substantially vertical orientation outwardly adjacent an upper edge of the mobile pedestal unit. A retractable U-shaped file hanger which is slidable between a position flush with the exterior surface of the unit and an extended position may also be provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1998Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Kimball International, Inc.Inventors: Robert A.
