Abstract: An article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and having a back edge and a front edge, a support coupled to the base near the back edge and a distance from the front edge, and a linkage coupling the support to the base so that the support can be presented in generally upright and generally forward positions relative to the base. The distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the upright position is greater than the distance from the front edge of the base to the support in the forward position, and the support provides a surface that is a top surface when the support is in the upright position and is a rear surface when the support is in the forward position. The support remains between the back and front edges of the base in both the upright and forward positions.

Abstract: An article of furniture and seating system are disclosed. The article of furniture comprises a base providing a seating area and a support coupled to the base. A linkage couples the support to the base so that the support can be presented in a generally upright position and in a generally forward position relative to the base. The seating system comprises a base comprising a seat and a backrest comprising a first surface and a second surface. A member couples the backrest for movement on a path of travel relative to the base. The backrest is moveable to an upright position and to a forward position. When the backrest is in the first position the first surface is presented in a generally downward orientation. When the backrest is in the second position the first surface is presented in a generally forward orientation.

Abstract: A knock-down portable partition system has cover panels supported on a post and beam framework designed for quick and easy on-site manual assembly. The framework includes at least two vertical posts and at least two structural beams rigidly, yet detachably interconnecting the vertical posts. Connectors secure the beams to the posts, such that the partition system can be assembled and disassembled manually. The partition system may include utility troughs shaped to retain wires, cabling, etc. therein to provide power and/or communication to the system. The utility troughs have opposite ends shaped to be detachably mounted to the posts.

Abstract: An off-module connector system for a partition system which detachably connects a first partition with a second partition in a non-parallel, angular relationship at a location on the first partition between the opposite side members thereof. The off-module connector system includes top and bottom connector brackets, which engage the attachment slots on the panel frames to securely, yet removably, mounting the two partition panels in an off-modular relationship.
