Embodiment Construction

[0042] The self-contained plug-and-play furniture system is described hereinafter and is referred to generally as 10 throughout the several views of the drawings.

[0043] The furniture system 10 has a skeletal frame structure 12 generally comprised of a front tower 14 a rear tower 16 and a central bridge section 18 between the front and rear towers. The bridge section 18 connects the front and rear towers 14, 16 and includes a plurality of straight frame member segments or bridge elements 20 which attach to U-shaped clips 22 fixed to the front and rear towers as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. Most of the bridge elements 20 have three sides to form an open channel extending between opposite ends. This allows the bridge elements 20 to easily slip over the spaced, parallel tabs 24 of the U-shaped clips 22 so that the tabs 24 mate against opposite inner surfaces 26 of the bridge elements 20, as seen in FIG. 2. Once the bridge elements 20 are in place, fitted to the U-shaped clips of the front an...

Abstract

A self-contained plug-and-play furniture system is ready to host state-of-the-art technology within a movable, autonomous and cozy environment so that a person may work, play and communicate at optimum efficiency. The assembly of the system includes bridge elements that connect to and span between front and rear towers to define an overall skeletal frame structure that has a front sliding glass door and openings of predetermined size formed between perpendicularly arranged frame members. Insulated wall, ceiling and floor panels fit within the openings to enclose the interior environment. A work surface, multi-level shelves, electrical power system with multiple power outlets, and data and voice outlets allow the system to host computer equipment, telecommunications equipment, lighting and all other supplies and equipment needed by a person to fully function in a highly efficient environment. An air conditioner unit with remote control mounts on top of the ceiling for controlling the climate of the interior environment. The furniture system accommodates and balances the essential trilogy for efficiency, namely an informed person, high-tech equipment and inspiring surroundings.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an enclosed furniture system and, more particularly, to a self-contained and enclosed plug-and-play furniture system that is ready to host state-of-the-art technology in a movable, autonomous, acoustically balanced and climate controlled environment. [0003] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0004] For centuries, people have had the need for a suitable space to think, create, study or just be alone to gather their thoughts in a calm, peaceful environment. These needs have evolved in modern times to include information processing and time management in order to be productive and generate wealth. The use of state-of-the-art technology, including computers and telecommunications equipment, has become essential in today's society. Likewise, the need for peaceful and inspiring surroundings remains as an essential element of efficiency. [0005] In the past, others have proposed various prefab...
