Description

There is the work top assembly of vertically adjustable cantilevered work top
This application claims the rights and interests of the U.S. Provisional Application numbers 61/791,642 submitted on March 15th, 2013, its whole disclosure is incorporated in this literary composition by reference at this.
Technical field
The application is for work top assembly, and especially for the work top assembly with vertically adjustable cantilevered work top.
Background technology
There is provided from the outward extending work top of understructure be well-known.Usually, this type of work top is by one or more thigh support isolated with understructure.But this class formation is unsuitable for adjustable for height work top, its needs are coordinated between base and isolated leg-supporting.In addition, the work top system being combined with adjustable for height work top is normally one-sided, and wherein because various space and support are considered, only single work top extends from base.Therefore, the system of these types can be unsuitable for effectively using to greatest extent, and can limit the cooperative work of user.
But also need the user to work top to provide electric power and data access.But, when adjustable for height work top, function (utility) line layout may be had problems to work top.Especially, need protection circuit, also allow circuit to be deployed into different length simultaneously.Although known use cable guide protects this type of circuit, if in the inside being positioned over support column, then circuit can be difficult to be installed in guiding piece, or guiding piece can be hidden and protection circuit inadequately.
Summary of the invention
Briefly, in an aspect, an embodiment of work top assembly comprises base, and this base has the width that first and second sides of being opened by lateral spacing limit and the length limited by longitudinally-spaced opposed end.Base comprises inside and limits it.Adjustable for height first and second support columns are supported by base and can move into and shift out inside.First and second work tops are connected to adjustable for height first and second support columns respectively, and wherein the first and second work tops outwards support in cantilever fashion from base, and have respectively from the outside isolated leading edge of the first and second side side direction.Adjustable for height first and second support columns are structures of only support the first and second work tops separately.
In another aspect, an embodiment of cable guide comprises multiple link.Each link comprises a pair relative side plate, and each side plate has the first and second parts, and wherein, the Part I of a link is pivotably connected to the Part II of adjacent link.Connecting plate extends and connecting lateral plate between the side plates.Connecting plate and side plate limit through being shaped with the internal pipeline receiving cable.Connecting plate has the first and second stepped parts, and the first stepped part of one of them link is overlapping with the second-order step-portion of adjacent link.When adjacent link relative to each other rotates, the first and second stepped parts can relative to each other be slided.Side plate and connecting plate be complete closed interior pipeline at least three sides, makes to can't see circuit from the outside of cable guide through connecting plate or between connecting plate when link is arranged to linear configuration.In one embodiment, each side plate flexible protrusions (tab) of there is the free edge relative with connecting plate and extending internally from each free edge.
In a further embodiment, work top assembly comprises base, and this base has the width that first and second sides of being opened by lateral spacing limit and the length limited by longitudinally-spaced opposed end.Base comprises top that is inner and restriction upper table face.First support column is supported by base and upwards extends from top.First work top is connected to the first support column.First work top outwards supports in cantilever fashion from base, and has from the outside isolated leading edge of the first side side direction.Second support column is supported by base and upwards extends from top.Second work top is connected to the second support column.Second work top outwards supports in cantilever fashion from base, and has from the outside isolated leading edge of the second side side direction.Base is the structure of at least one in only support the first and second work tops separately.
In a further embodiment, base has the width that first and second sides of being opened by lateral spacing limit and the length limited by longitudinally-spaced opposed end.Support column is supported by base and upwards extends from its top.Support column limits the vertical function wire casing be communicated with the horizontal function wire casing in base.Work top is connected to support column, and outwards supports in cantilever fashion from base.Work top has from the outside isolated leading edge of the first side side direction, and has the supply socket of function.
The various aspect of work top assembly and embodiment provide the remarkable advantage due to other work top assembly.Such as and nonrestrictive, in one embodiment, a pair work top provide on the both sides of base can without any obstacle from its anterior close to and the working space entered, also consider the height adjustability of work top at least one embodiment simultaneously.Work top is provided with electric power and/or data set, and its supply lines can easily be managed by cable guide.This circuit protected and be also easy to use.
