Abstract
A table system power module is provided. In some embodiments, an example table system includes a table top and a power module removably mounted to the table top. The power module includes a contact surface made from a relatively softer material.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A table assembly, comprising:
- a table top defining an upper surface, a lower surface, and a table peripheral edge between the upper surface and the lower surface, the lower surface including a table top material;
- and
- a power module removably mounted to the lower surface of the table top, the power module comprising:
- a first front electronics connector along a front side of the power module, and
- a cushion shell that surrounds at least a portion of a rigid housing of the power module and that defines an exposed lower exterior of the power module such that the cushion shell covering is exposed below the lower surface of the table top, the cushion shell covering includes one or more side portions and a bottom portion;
- wherein the table top material has a first material hardness, the cushion shell has a second material hardness, and the first material hardness is greater than the second material hardness.

A table assembly, comprising:
- a table top defining an upper surface, a lower surface, and a table peripheral edge between the upper surface and the lower surface, the lower surface including a first material;
- and
- a power module removably mounted to the lower surface of the table top, the power module is mounted below the upper surface of the table top, the power module comprising:
- an exposed contact surface including a second material, the exposed contact surface includes one or more side portions and a bottom portion, the one or more side portions angled relative to the bottom portion;
- wherein the first material has a first material hardness, the second material has a second material hardness, and the first material hardness is greater than the second material hardness.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- mounting a power module to a lower surface of a table top such that a top side of the power module and a first electronics connector along a front side of the power module are below an upper surface of the table top, the power module having an exposed cushion shell such that the cushion shell covering is exposed below the lower surface of the table top, the exposed cushion shell covering includes one or more side portions and a bottom portion, the one or more side portions are angled relative to the bottom portion, the exposed cushion shell covering including a compressible cushion material different from a rigid material along the lower surface of the table top;
- wherein the rigid material along the lower surface of the table top has a hardness greater than the compressible cushion material, the compressible cushion material configured to absorb impact from a chair.
