Training table with wire management

Abstract

A folding table or desk includes a table top, a pair of spaced apart legs, and a wire management structure pivotably mounted to the table top and located between the legs. The wire management structure includes a front panel assembly having an opening, and an access member is pivotably mounted to the front panel assembly for movement between an open position, a closed position and a collapsed position. The front panel assembly can be folded against the underside of the table top and the access member can be pivoted to its collapsed position relative to the front panel assembly, and the legs are foldable over the wire management structure to provide a compact envelope for the folded components of the table assembly. The front panel assembly includes a cross brace member which is engageable with the legs when the wire management structure is in its operative extended position, to impart rigidity to the table assembly. Wires or cables are fed through openings in the table top into an internal cavity defined by the wire management structure, for engagement with power or communication receptacles located within the internal cavity. Equipment may also be supported by the underside of the table top, and wires or cables from such equipment can be fed through the opening in the front panel assembly into the internal cavity of the wire management structure. A latch arrangement is carried by the table assembly for enabling adjacent table assemblies to be ganged together.
