Storage locker

Work station

A work station which provides an increased surface display area to facilitate the display and organization of documents being used by a work station user, i.e. the user's work-in-progress. The work station includes multiple layers of work surfaces in combination with an article support section which is spaced upwardly above an uppermost work surface which effectively displays work-in-progress and increases the display area on which the documents and articles can be stored.

A portable and transportable workstation having a cabinet having opposed side walls joined to an upright rear wall extending therebetween, the cabinet defining an interior compartment accessible through an open upright front side, and a door connected by a hinge along a front edge of the cabinet for horizontal swinging movement of the door between open and closed positions. A stationary table top is disposed within the interior compartment to define a stationary work surface and a telescoping table top is disposed adjacent the stationary table top so as to define a main work surface. on the side wall opposite the door, an upper side wall portion is hinged to a lower side wall portion and is foldable downwardly to a horizontal position to define an auxiliary work surface. The top end of the cabinet includes a hinged cover and the bottom end includes a removable panel to accommodate a user. Additionally, a storage space is provided between the front edges of the stationary and telescoping table tops when the door is in a closed position so as to accommodate a backrest of a chair, the lower portion of which stores within the cabinet below the stationary and telescoping table tops.

Self-contained portable office

Foldable mobile office

A work surface structure having a power/communication module integral therewith. This module is hidden beneath a door which is flush with and forms a part of the top of the work surface structure. This module permits numerous power and communication (i.e. data) cables to be fed into the module for connection to apppropriate connectors, and excess lengths of cable can be stored within a compartment of the module. Additional cable storage compartments are hidden below the top of the work surface for storing therein excess lengths of power/communication cables which extend from external locations to the module.

Work surface with power and communication module

A work surface structure having a channel arrangement fixed to and extending longitudinally along a front edge of a top member for accommodating power/communication cables. The channel arrangement has a bottom wall provided with openings which accommodate removable tray modules. One of the tray modules can be of substantial depth to mount a power unit therein which provides a plurality of accessible receptacles. Access to the trays is through the channel, the latter having several openable covers. These covers are preferably hinged adjacent their rearward edges and, in the vicinity of their forward edges when in the closed position, there is defined an elongated access opening which communicates with the channel to permit power or communication cables to extend therethrough.

Work surface with channel for power communication cabling

A work surface structure having a power/communication module integral therewith. This module is hidden beneath a door which is flush with and forms a part of the top of the work surface structure. This module permits numerous power and communication (i.e. data) cables to be fed into the module for connection to appropriate connectors, and excess lengths of cable can be stored within a compartment of the module. Additional cable storage compartments are hidden below the top of the work surface for storing therein excess lengths of power/communication cables which extend from external locations to the module.
