Abstract

A work station having a main post attached to a base, braces attached to the main post to support the main post, and a support assembly that can be attached at a location on the main post between the base and one of the braces. A work station having a plurality of posts, a plurality of braces to support the posts, and a plurality of support assemblies that can be attached to the posts. A support assembly having a cam mechanism for adjustably attaching the support assembly to a post of a work station. A support assembly having tilt/swivel mechanism for positioning a work surface with respect to a post.

Claims

1. A work station, comprising:

a support structure comprising a main post, and a plurality of braces attachable to the main post for supporting the main post in a generally upright position; and

a work-surface support assembly adjustably attachable to the main post below an attachment point for one of the braces.

2. The work station of claim 1 wherein the work-surface support assembly comprises an adjustable boom assembly.

3. The work station of claim 1 wherein the work-surface support assembly comprises an assembly configured to tilt about a first axis and to rotate about a second axis.

4. The work station of claim 1 wherein the work-surface support assembly is configurable to support a plurality of work surfaces.

5. The work station of claim 1, further comprising a base attachable to the main post for supporting the main post.

6. The work station of claim 1, further comprising a side post attachable to one of the plurality of braces.

7. The work station of claim 6, further comprising a second work-surface support assembly attachable to the side post.

8. The work station of claim 6 wherein the side post is attachable to a piece of furniture.

9. The work station of claim 1, further comprising a side base attachable to one of the plurality of braces.

10. The work station of claim 1 wherein the main post is configured to house wiring.

11. The work station of claim 1, further comprising a chase attachable to the main post and to at least one of the braces.

12. The work station of claim 1 wherein one of the plurality of braces is attachable to a piece of furniture.

13. The work station of claim 12, further comprising a side post attachable to the piece of furniture.

14. The work station of claim 1 wherein the work surface support assembly comprises:

a sleeve attachable to an arm and to the main post;

a cam pin; and

a cam pivotally coupled to the sleeve by the cam pin, wherein the cam is adjustable between a locked position where the cam will hold the sleeve in position on the main post and an unlocked position where the sleeve can be repositioned on the main post.

15. The work station of claim 14 wherein the cam is configured to move to the locked position when the cam is released.

16. A work station, comprising:

a support structure comprising a main post, a side post, a first brace attachable to the main post and to the side post, and a second brace attachable to the main post;

a first work-surface support assembly adjustably attachable to the main post for supporting a first work surface; and

a second work-surface support assembly attachable to the side post for supporting a second work surface.

17. The work station of claim 16 wherein the main post comprises a base and a beam.

18. The work station of claim 17 wherein the first brace is attachable to the base of the main post.

19. The work station of claim 16 wherein the first brace is directly attached to the main post.

20. The work station of claim 16 wherein the side post comprises a base and a beam.

21. The work station of claim 20 wherein the first brace is attachable to base of the side post.

22. The work station of claim 16, further comprising a second side post attachable to the second brace.

23. The work station of claim 16 wherein one of the braces is configurable to house wiring.

24. The work station of claim 16, further comprising a chase attachable to the main post and to the side post.

25. A work station, comprising:

a beam;

a plurality of braces for attaching the beam to a wall;

a plurality of work-surfaces; and

a work-surface support assembly attachable to the beam to support the plurality of work-surfaces, wherein the position and angle of the plurality of work-surfaces supported by the support assembly are independently adjustable with respect to the beam.

26. The work station of claim 25 wherein the position and angle of at least one of the plurality of work-surfaces supported by the beam is adjustable using one hand.

27. A work station, comprising:

a modular wall structure;

a plurality of modular units attachable to the modular wall structure;

a first work-surface support beam attachable to one of the plurality of modular units;

a first work-surface support assembly attachable to the first work-surface support beam;

a second work-surface support beam attachable to one of the plurality of modular units; and

a second work-surface support assembly attachable to the second work surface support beam.

28. The work station of claim 27 wherein the first work-surface support beam is directly attachable to one of the plurality of modular units.

29. The work station of claim 27, further comprising a brace attachable to the first work-surface support beam.

30. A work station, comprising:

a first beam;
