1. An article of furniture comprising:
- a top surface comprising;
a top piece adjacent to and in non-permanent contact with, at least one top extension with an inward edge and an outward edge, said at least one top extension pivotally disposed for bi-directional rotation, and said at least one top extension further adjustably disposed for bi-directional slidable movement orthogonal to the axis of pivot, wherein said top surface is adjacent to and supported by, at least two members, at least one structural element disposed below said top surface to provide for structural rigidity and support, whereby said at least one pivotally disposed and bi-directional adjustably and slidably disposed top extension is selected for gap creation between said top piece and said at least one top extension for electrical cord and accessory cable passage and accommodation and further for access beneath said top surface.

Abstract
A dual use article of furniture with horizontally supported planar surfaces that separate, slide, and pivot to provide adjustable passage for electrical wiring communication, concealment, and management, and to provide access to electrical and electronic components, and accessories internally stored and supported beneath the planar surface and concealed by a relatively movable assembly that is connected to, supported by, and integral with the article of furniture structure.

10. An article of furniture comprising:
-
a top surface comprising;
a top piece adjacent to and in non-permanent contact with, at least one top extension with an inward edge and an outward edge, said at least one top extension adjustably disposed for bi-directional slideable movement, wherein said top surface is adjacent to and supported by, at least two members, at least one structural element comprising a shelf, with an inward edge and an outward edge, disposed below said top surface, said at least one structural element shelf adjacent to and connected to said at least one member, said at least one structural element shelf providing for accessory accommodation and structural rigidity and support, at least one structural element comprising a generally vertical fascia panel adjacent to and connected to and further disposed below said at least one top extension outward of said top surface, further said at least one structural element fascia is connected to said outward edge of said at least one structural element shelf by at least one hinge pivotally disposed for bi-directional rotation of said at least one structural element fascia and said at least one top extension, further said at least one top extension bi-directional slideable movement is disposed orthogonal to the axis of pivot, whereby said at least one bi-directional adjustably and slideably disposed top extension is selected for gap creation between said top piece and said at least one top extension for electrical cord and accessory cable passage and accommodation, whereby said at least one structural element fascia and said at least one top extension bi-directional rotation is selected for access beneath said top surface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. An article of furniture comprising:
-
a top surface comprising;
a top piece with an inward edge and an outward edge, said top piece adjustably disposed for bi-directional slideable movement and adjacent to and in non-permanent contact with, at least one top extension pivotally disposed for bi-directional rotation, further said top piece disposed for bi-directional slideable movement orthogonal to the axis of pivot, wherein said top surface is adjacent to and supported by, at least two members, at least one structural element disposed below said top surface to provide for structural rigidity and support, whereby said bi-directional adjustably and slideably disposed top piece is selected for gap creation between said top piece and said at least one top extension for electrical cord and accessory cable passage and accommodation, whereby said at least one pivotally disposed top extension is selected for access beneath said top surface.
