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.
Claims21
-19. (canceled)
A work surface assembly, comprising:
- a work surface top;
- a protective peripheral surface extending outwardly beyond the work surface top by a first distance;
- and
- an electronics connector positioned entirely below the work surface top on an exterior face of the protective peripheral surface, the electronics connector having an exterior face that is flush with the exterior face of the protective peripheral surface.
1 more element
A work surface assembly, comprising:
- a work surface top having a major upper surface that is bordered by a work surface peripheral edge;
- means for protecting the work surface peripheral edge from lateral impacts, the protecting means being mounted below the work surface top and being positioned outwardly beyond the work surface peripheral edge by a first distance that is less than 1.5% of a minimum width of the major upper surface of the work surface top;
- and
- an electronics connector positioned entirely below the work surface along a downwardly angled face of the protecting means, the electronics connector having an exterior face that is flush with the angled face of the protecting means.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- mounting a work surface top having a work surface peripheral edge over an electronics connector, the work surface top having a major upper surface that is bordered by a protective peripheral edge extends outwardly beyond the work surface peripheral edge by a first distance;
- and
- mounting the electronic connector on an exterior face of the protective peripheral edge such that an exterior face of the electronics connector is flush with the exterior face of the protective peripheral edge.
