摘要:
A pop-up power and communication outlet apparatus having a hollow leg structure having an interior, a top end having an opening in communication with the interior of the hollow leg structure, and a bottom end. The apparatus also has a power and communication outlet structure that has a sleeve structure disposed within and attached to the hollow leg structure, and an outlet center movably disposed within the sleeve structure such that the outlet center can move vertically with respect to the sleeve structure. The outlet center has at least one power outlet or at least one communication outlet. In a preferred embodiment, the outlet center has a plurality of power outlets and a plurality of communication outlets. A lift mechanism is located within the sleeve structure and is connected between the sleeve structure and the outlet center. The lift mechanism urges the outlet center upward. A latch mechanism is attached to the sleeve structure and has a first configuration that retains the outlet center within the sleeve structure and a second configuration that allows the lift mechanism to lift the outlet center upward so the power and communication outlets are visible and accessible.

A workstation configured to provide laptop storage and permit docking of the laptop broadly includes a desk and a modesty panel attached to the desk. The modesty panel includes a chassis and a panel door swingably attached to the chassis into and out of a closed position where the chassis and panel door define an enclosed space. The chassis includes power and data terminals for providing electrical power and data access to the laptop. The chassis further includes a removable partition with containers for holding the laptop and peripherals within the chassis. With the panel door closed, the chassis and panel door cooperatively define a passage that is configured to receive a transmission cable for interconnecting terminals and the laptop. The modesty panel is configured to securely store the laptop in the enclosed space by restricting removal of the laptop when the panel door is closed. The modesty panel is also configured to serve as a docking station when the panel door is closed and the laptop is removed from the enclosed space by permitting the transmission cable to extend into and out of the enclosed space by extending through the passage.

A power and communication receptacle trough has a frame which has an upper, peripheral portion and a plurality of walls downwardly extending from the upper, peripheral portion. The frame defines an interior region. A receptacle attachment member is disposed within the interior region of the frame and is attached to the frame. The receptacle attachment member has a wave-like contour having a crest portion. At least one power or communication receptacle is connected to the receptacle attachment member. The receptacle attachment member has a central portion and the crest portion of the wave-like contour is at the central portion of the receptacle attachment member. Covers are movably attached to the upper, peripheral portion. Each cover corresponds to a respective half of the frame. A lighting device is attached to the receptacle attachment member to illuminate the interior region of the frame.
