Patent number: 10258156Abstract: An adjustable panel leg system in a low-profile design includes a foot, an upright leg for supporting an object such as a panel, and an upright adjustment mechanism disposed above the foot and between the foot and the upright leg to enable adjustment of the angle of the upright leg with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may include a horizontal pin extending through a portion of the upright leg, such that the upright leg can pivot about the pin with respect to the foot. The upright adjustment mechanism may also include a tubular support extending upwardly from the foot. A portion of the upright leg extends into the opening of the tubular support. The pin extends through the tubular support and the portion of the upright leg such that the leg can pivot within the tubular support.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Haworth, Inc.Inventors: Jason DeWeerd, Robert C.

Publication number: 20080127588Abstract: Typically, joints between sheets of laminate may be visible and form a dark or distinctly visible edge due to the color difference between the laminate surface and the interior material forming the laminate which interior material is visible when the laminate is cut. A trim assembly serves to hide this interior material while also forming corners that may be formed of a different material such as aluminum and thereby give a distinct unique appearance. The trim assembly includes an extruded rail, which receives a laminate insert, or includes a deeper extrusion having a thick insert with a finish surface applied thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: Robert C.

Patent number: 5941713Abstract: A mobile marker board unit has a wheeled base which mounts a pair of upright and vertically enlarged marker boards. The marker boards, as they project upwardly, are rearwardly sloped to define a triangular storage space between the marker boards. This storage space is accessible from at least one end of the unit, and is preferably provided with structure which permits storage therein. A slidable tray arrangement is mounted adjacent the lower edge of each marker board and can be moved between open and closed positions. Each tray arrangement includes an outer tray disposed directly adjacent the lower edge of the marker board and positioned for support of articles thereon. This outer tray is fixedly joined to an enlarged inner tray which is normally stored in a closed position between the marker boards, with the tray assembly being slidable into an outer position wherein the inner tray projects outwardly from the marker board adjacent the lower edge thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Haworth, Inc.Inventors: Robert C.
