Abstract: The invention relates to an office device having multiple spatial configurations, including a first work surface and a second work surface, each of the two surfaces having a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis. The first work surface is connected, near a first end thereof, to the second work surface by assembly means enabling rotation of the first surface between a stowed position, in which the longitudinal axes of the work surfaces are aligned, and deployed positions, in which the longitudinal axes of the work surfaces are not aligned. The device is characterized in that the assembly means enable the sliding of the first surface along the longitudinal axis of the second work surface, as well as a rotation by an angle of no less than 90° at any point in the sliding path.

Abstract: A pivoting structure for joining and supporting two co-planar surfaces (52) that pivot independently around a fixed point between the tables at one end on a pivot assembly (35). The co-planar surfaces are supported at the opposite end by a support leg (54) that provides rotation quickly and easily by one person by means of a pivoting wheel (62). An array of positions can be fixed by means of a wheel brake lever (60). The pivot assembly is supported with a pivot support (28) and a base (22). The pivoting structure's geometry is such that multiple similar structures can be configured modularly to provide an even greater variety of practical positions.

Abstract: A furniture unit comprises a closed-front credenza that folds out to form an L-shaped desk. The unit comprises a stationary desk having a partially open front, with a kneehole opening forming at least a portion of the open front. A moveable return pivotally mounted at on one side of the desk comprises a vertical face panel and a work surface mounted at a rear side of the face panel. The return is pivotal between a closed position, wherein the face panel covers the open portion of the front of the desk and the return work surface is concealed behind the face panel, and an open position, wherein the face panel is pivoted outward from the front of the desk, exposing the kneehole opening in the desk. The return work surface extends forward from the desk alongside the kneehole opening when the return is opened. The face panel is configured so as to create the impression that the furniture unit is a credenza with no kneehole opening when the return is closed. A column of functional drawers is mounted in the desk at the side opposite from the moveable return, with the face panel extending across the front of the desk to the drawers when the return is closed. The unit has a legless support mechanism for an inner corner of the return work surface that eliminates the need of a movement obstructing support leg at the corner. The unit also has lockable and vertically adjustable casters. A keyboard tray and inner storage unit are spaced below the desk top so that the return work surface fits under the desk top when the return is closed. The base molding is formed to conceal the fact that the return opens.
