  • my invention aims at providing a desk construction designed to provide nearly orcompletely unobstructed leg room for the user and to dispense with unsightly encumbrances-such as electrical or other supply line extending from the desk top to the floor.
  • a further object is to provide convenient means in such a unit for raising and lowering a desk top to adjust its level to the requirements of the user, to facilitate sweeping or searching for lost articles, and to clear a pathway for the moving of bulky equipment.
  • Still another object, allied with the preceding one, is
  • the other member With one of the two telescoped memberfixedly secured to the desk top, the other member is made rigid with a surrounding building structure defining the room occupied by the desk, as by being temporarily or permanently fastened to either the floor of the ceiling of that room. In the latter instance, i.e. with the desk top suspended from above, thedesk will be completely If the location of the desk is to be substantially fixed, a p re-existing structural pipe may be used as the'piston by providing such pipe with a flange to serve as the piston head and encasing same in a mobile cylinder rigid with the desk top.
  • the high-voltage or communication cables might be disposed in channels within the floor or ceiling structure and provided with junction boxes within the sockets to which the internal supply lines from the post may be connected automatically upon a fitting of the tubular piston (or possibly the cylinder) into its socket.
  • Suitable retaining means such as a bayonet coupling, may serve to hold the fixed post member securely in its socket while maintaining the electrical connection therebetween.
  • the socket may traverse the intervening ceiling layer so as to accommodate both a suspended post on the lower floor and a rising post on the upper floor;'in this case, evidently, the feeder lines side the hollow piston to an intermediate point thereof I and to let the lines emerge from the piston at that point with enough slack to allow movement of an edge of the surrounding cylinder past the point of emergence in opposite directions, the cylinder being spaced in the region of its edge from the piston to form a clearance which accommodates part of the flexible wiring and/or tubing constituting the'internal supply lines.
  • the remainder of this wiring or tubing is preferably received ing.
  • the 'supply lines (especially in the case of telephone wires or the like) may also be of the conventional coiled type whose effective length varies with the relative position' of the piston and the cylinder, thereby obviating the need for a partial guidance of such'wiring outside the cylinder. It will also be understood that, if necessary, sliding contacts may be provided on the movable member of the post to facilitate a connection of the desk-supported electric equipment to an external circuit.
  • the position of the desk may be altered even with a permanently installed post.

  • FIG. 1 I have shown a unitary piece of furniture comprisinga desk top 1 cantilevered on a post or column 3 rising from the floor of the room.
  • a set of drawers 2 is detachably secured, in a manner more fully described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, to the underside of desk top 1 and may or may not touch the floor, depending on the elevation of the desk top. This elevation may be varied, hydraulically or pneumatically, by means of a pair of switch handles 38 controlling the admission of high-pressure fluid to the interior of post 3 whose internal construction will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 2.
  • Desk top 1 also provides space for a typewriter 60, a telephone 61 and various panels 62, 63 with pushbuttons, e.g. for data-processing or inter-office communication; the electrical supply lines for these devices extend entirely within the post from the floor to .the level of desk top 1.

  • Wires 5 extending within the piston 4 serve for the energization of the aforedescribed electrical appliances and terminate at the foot of the piston in a multiple plug 6 co-operating with a mating multiple jack 7 which serves as the terminus of external supply leads 23 disposed within the floor.
  • Piston 4 has a head 17 in fluidtight contact with the inner wall surface of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 11 which defines an annular clearance 12 with the tubular piston rod.
  • the desk top 1 can be displaced between a lower limiting position (full lines) and an upper limiting position (dot-dash lines) separated by a distance H which represents the stroke of the movable cylinder 11.
  • An opening 15 in the wall of piston 4 is located at the midpoint of the stroke executed by the hole 16, i.e. a distance I-I/2 above the illustrated bottom position of that hole, and is traversed by the internal wiring 5 which rises from plug 6 within the piston and then passes in clearance 12 between apertures 15 and 16, thereafter extending within the outer channel 14 to a bore 18 of the desk top 1.
  • a similar path may be followed by the working fluid entering and leaving the chamber 19 via a flexible tube 70 which communicates through a coupling 71 with a pipe 72 also located within the floor F.
  • Tube leaves the interior of the piston 4 through an opening 73 at the level of opening 15, then passes outwardly through a hole 74 in the wall of cylinder 11 near the lower edge thereof, and finally opens into chamber 19 at a port 75.
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified piston fitting into a base which is provided with a foot 20 and with lateral contact pins 21 for extending the circuits of wires 5 to their external power-supply and/or communication network by corresponding female connectors not shown.
  • the base 110 could be given any desired shape including, for example, several feet extending indifferent directions.
  • Base 110 may be screwed or otherwise fastened to the floor at any convenient location.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an array of four juxtaposed sockets 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, each similar to the socket 10 of FIG. 2, combined into a single unit sunk into the floor.
  • Two sets of bus bars 23', 23" are disposed in a pair of intersecting floor channels 22', 22", branches of these bus bars extending from junction boxes 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d to respective jacks 125, a, 325s in each socket.
  • the connection between these jacks and the wiring inside each piston 4a 4d of respective desk-supporting posts is completed by plugs similar to the one shown at 6 (FIG. 2) upon a positioning of each piston, with the aid of itskey 9, in the associated socket.

  • FIG. 5 illustrates a possible positioning of two diagonally adjoining desks la, 1b, together with chairs 46a, 46b, on posts 3a, 3b rising from the corresponding sockets of FIG. 4.
  • Two other desks 1c and 1d and chairs 46c, 46d, whose positions have been shown in dot-dash lines may be mounted on the remaining sockets which in their absence are covered by plates 26c and 26d.
  • FIG. 6 I have shown a modified socket 28 lodged in a ceiling 27 for the support of a depending post 3' with a fixed cylinder 11 and a mobile piston 4' secured to a desk top not shown.
  • Extensible wires 5 within post 3' terminate at sleeves 76 within a dielectric end plate 31 of the cylinder, these sleeves confronting a set of mating pins 77 at the ends of respective supply leads 23 extending within the ceiling.
  • Pins 77 project downwardly from an axially shiftable but non-rotatable base plate 33 which is under downward pressure from a coil spring 36 bearing upon a top plate 35; stops 29 on the inner wall of socket 28 limit the descent of plate 33 and also serve as bayonet lugs coacting with slots 30 in the upper part of cylinder 1 1.
  • Each slot 30 has an arcuate midportion 30a with an open-ended vertical branch 30b and a blind vertical branch 300, the lugs 29 entering the branches 30b of the associated slots upon an upward thrusting of cylinder 11 into the socket 28 in a position in which the pins 77 are disaligned from the sleeves 76 so that the plate 31 is lifted against the force of spring 36 and to theextent permitted by fixed'abutments 34 within the socket.
  • the cylinder 11 is rotated so that the lugs 29 move within the branches 30a of their slots until they reach the branches 30c thereof, at which point the pins 77 find themselves in alignment with sleeves 76 so that spring 36 is free to press the plate 33 downwardly for completing the electrical connection between conductors 5' and 23.
  • the post 3' is then allowed to descend under its own weight so that the lugs 29 become firmly lodged inthe slot branches 300 without breaking the electrical connection.

  • the part of the desk top designated 37 is a plate fixed to the movable cylinder portion of the post whereas another part 39, representing a worktable, is tiltably mounted (e.g. for drafting purposes) on the plate 37 by'means of a trunnion 40 received in a horizontal bore 41 of that portion.
  • Table 39' is internally channeled M42, 43 to accommodate respective transmission lines which extend from the wires in bore 18 (cf. FIG. 2) to outlets 44', 44" in line-with the swing axis of the table and at the rear edge thereof, respectively.
  • Trunnion 40 may be designed as the male part of a separable coupling enabling the tabletop 39 with its internal wiring to be removed from the rigid desk portion 37, e.g. for replacement by another tabletop of different appearance and/or configuration.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 also show a lamp 48 forming part of the lighting fixture 47 which in this case is cantilevered to the top of post 3 so as to overhang the tiltable working surface 39.
