Abstract
A table or desk unit includes a worksurface and leg structure, and a wire management arrangement located below the worksurface. The wire management arrangement includes upper and lower wire management members that support wires or cables for providing power and/or communication capability to items or equipment on the worksurface, and front and rear access covers which are movable between open and closed positions for providing access to the upper and lower wire management members. The rear access cover is configured to provide access to the lower wire management member, and engages the upper wire management member when in the closed position. A portion of the upper wire management member above the rear access cover is exposed, to mount power outlets that can be accessed from the rear of the worksurface. The front access cover is engaged with the worksurface when in the closed position, and is configured to provide access to both the upper and lower wire management members when in the open position. A wire cover member is releasably engageable with the leg structure, and includes an internal passage that receives wires or cables. The wire cover member includes a lower end received within an upwardly facing recess formed in a foot member forming a part of the leg structure, and an upper end that extends into an opening in one of the wire management members for supplying power or communication wiring thereto. An adjustable height support assembly is engaged with the foot member, for adjusting the worksurface height. The support assembly includes an upper adjustment member threadedly engaged within a receiver associated with the foot member, and a lower adjustment member threadedly engaged with the upper adjustment member. The upper and lower adjustment members include engagement structure which locks the upper and lower adjustment members together When the lower adjustment member is extended to a predetermined position. Subsequent rotation of the lower adjustment member rotates the upper and lower adjustment members together, to provide a telescoping construction for adjusting the height of the worksurface.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
