Abstract

Disclosed is a desk system having a freestanding leg assembly, a frame being attachable to an upper portion of the freestanding leg assembly and an adjustable height desktop platform comprising a table top and a supporting leg assembly. The supporting leg assembly may extend between the frame and the table top and the supporting leg assembly may have a scissor lift for adjusting the height of the table top away from the freestanding leg assembly. Disclosed is a desk system having a telescoping leg assembly, configured to adjustable raise or lower a table top of the desk. Disclosed is a desk system with an interface to power the adjustable desk, wherein the interface is visible and operable through the table top.

Claims (25)

1. A desk system having an adjustable configuration, comprising:

a table top having an upper surface, wherein the upper surface is planer and wherein the upper surface comprises:

a first layer of glass comprising the upper surface;

a second layer of glass; and

an interface comprising a plurality of capacitive buttons adapted to be activated by a user, and

a control module communicatively coupled to the plurality of capacitive buttons and operatively receiving signals from the plurality of capacitive buttons to control adjustments of at least one configuration of the desk, wherein the plurality of capacitive buttons are disposed beneath the first layer of glass and within apertures formed through the second layer of glass, such that the upper surface is seamless so that it remains planer over the interface; and

a supporting leg assembly connected to the table top for supporting the table top off of a floor surface on which the leg assembly is positioned.

2. The desk of claim 1 , wherein the at least one configuration of the desk is a height of the table top off of the floor surface.

3. The desk of claim 2 , wherein the supporting leg assembly includes a plurality of telescoping vertical legs connected together by at least one horizontal member.

4. The desk of claim 3 , wherein the horizontal member defines an internal channel for receiving a rotatable drive shaft that drives the telescoping of the vertical legs.

5. The desk of claim 1 , further comprising a locking control adapted to be activated to temporarily disable the interface.

6. The desk of claim 1 , further comprising an electronic display adapted to display information regarding a current status of the at least one configuration of the desk.

7. A desk system having an adjustable configuration, comprising:

a table top having an upper surface comprising a glass layer and an opposite lower surface, wherein the upper surface is planer;

a control module configured against the lower surface of the table top and abutting the underside of the upper surface, wherein an interface comprises an electronic display adapted to display information regarding a current status of at least one configuration of the desk, and wherein the interface is viewable from the upper surface through the glass layer; and

wherein at least one button of the control module is operatively activatable through the upper surface of the table top, and wherein the upper surface is seamless over the control module so that it remains planer.

8. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the table top further comprises a layer of pigment.

9. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the table top further comprises a layer of veneer.

10. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein an area of the glass layer that abuts the interface is flush with the rest of the upper surface of the table top.

11. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one button is a capacitive button.

12. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one button operatively controls adjustability of the desk system.

13. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein a remote device is operatively connected to the control module.

14. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the electronic display comprises vanishing illumination.

15. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one button of the control module is locked preventing operation of the adjustable configuration.

16. The desk system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one button of the control module is unlocked allowing operation of the adjustable configuration.
