Abstract
Some implementations of a table system can include a protective member that is positionable below a table to provide protection to both a table and chairs. The protective member can extend lateral beyond a peripheral edge of the table top, for example, to protect the table and accessory furniture while allowing the table top and the peripheral edge of the table top to remain exposed.
Claims20
A table assembly, comprising:
- a table top having an exposed upper table top surface, a lower table top surface, and an exposed table peripheral edge between the exposed upper table top surface and the lower table top surface;
- a sub-top positioned entirely below the exposed lower table top surface, the sub-top joined with the table top, the sub-top comprising:
- a sub-top upper surface that is at least partially exposed, the sub-top upper surface parallel to the exposed upper table top surface,
- a sub-top peripheral exposed vertical surface that extends outwardly beyond the exposed table peripheral edge by a first distance, and
- a sub-top peripheral exposed angled surface at a height below the sub-top peripheral exposed vertical surface and extending inwardly at an angle relative to the sub-top peripheral exposed vertical surface, and
- an exposed electronics connector positioned on the sub-top peripheral exposed angled surface vertically below the sub-top peripheral exposed vertical surface and inwardly from the sub-top peripheral exposed vertical surface.
