Abstract
An articulating table comprises a pedestal, a pivot, and a table top having first and second top portions. The top portions are connected with the pedestal by the pivot for horizontal pivotal movement between open and closed positions relative to each other. The top portions are substantially juxtaposed in the closed position and are separated in a V-shape in the open position. A light supporting spine extends between the top portions. Conduit channels mounted at inner edges of the top portions provide electrical, optical, pneumatic, or hydraulic service to terminals positioned along the inner edges of the top portions. The channels can have openable top and rear access covers. A conduit channel also can extend through at least a portion of the spine. Fixed position table tops can be positioned on the pedestal at either or both ends of the articulating top portions.
