A lower edge of the transition shell is positioned on top of an uppermost horizontal flexible wire of the lumbar device. The lumbar device is operably slidably mounted between the outer shell and cushion assembly and the transition shell upper edge slides between the outer shell and the upholstery cushion assembly. Another chair includes a Y-shaped lower back frame having two uprights and a cross-piece attached to the back support. An overlap flange and channel-shaped flange mate to form an overlap joint, including a box beam for added structural support.
A vertically adjustable armrest includes a tubular support constructed for attachment to a chair, an armrest assembly telescopingly positioned in the tubular support, and a height adjustment mechanism slidably received in the armrest assembly. The armrest assembly includes a sleeve and a post. The height adjustment mechanism includes an actuator rod, an operative member, a locking member, and a resilient member. The actuator rod operatively engages the locking member with the inclined wedge mateably engaged with the inclined surface and the angled surfaces slideably engaged with the lateral followers. To vertically adjust the armrest, the operative member is lifted upward, causing the resilient member to compress and the teeth of the locking member to disengage from the detents. To reengage the teeth with the positional detents, the operative member is released.
A table has two end legs arranged in a parallel, laterally spaced apart relationship for support on a floor surface. Two side rails are arranged in a parallel, laterally spaced apart relationship, and are connected with upper portions of the end legs to retain them in an upright orientation, defining a self supported table frame without intermediate bracing between the side rails, with a central, vertically extending widow. Top support members are connected with the side rails and protrude outwardly therefrom in a cantilevered fashion. A top member is supported on and connected with the table frame and the top support members, defining a plurality of workstations. A utility module configured to route utilities is positioned within the window of the frame, with opposite sides abuttingly supported on the side rails to removably mount the utility module on the frame and thereby accommodate different utility requirements at the workstations.
