  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Turning to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an exemplary exploded view of a wall mounted workstation in accordance with the invention. The workstation has a wall mountable post 20 and one or more accessories such as a work surface 50. The post 20 has a length L and is generally oriented vertically with respect to the plane of the floor 12. In this example the post 20 is manufactured from metal. However, the post 20 can be manufactured from a variety of other materials such as wood, plastics, laminated structures, composites and the like. The post 20 has a planar mounting surface 21, and two side surfaces 22, 23. In this example the post 20 is generally rectangular in cross section and mounting surface 21 faces away from the wall 10. It is understood that posts with other geometric cross sections are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. It is also understood that side surfaces 22 and 23 can function as mounting surfaces for use in connection with one or more accessory.
  • The mounting surface 21 has a plurality of accessory mounting locations 25. The mounting locations 25 are generally configured to receive one or more accessories, as discussed in detail below. Each mounting location 25 is generally associated with one or more mounting holes 26. Mounting holes 26 can be arranged in one or more groups (e.g., two or more mounting holes) with pre-determined vertical and horizontal spacing between the various mounting holes 26. In this example, four upper groups 28 are provided with four mounting holes and two lower groups 29 are provided with eight mounting holes (see FIG. 3). It is understood that additional spacing configurations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. As discussed above, one or more mounting locations can be provided on side surfaces 22 and 23.
  • In this example, mounting holes 26 are threaded to receive threaded fasteners for securing one or more accessories to the post 20. It is understood that a variety of fastener types can be utilized (e.g., fasteners that do not required threaded mounting holes) without departing from the scope of the invention. Also in this example, the post 20 is generally hollow. On or more openings 27 are provided in the mounting surface 21. Openings 27 provide access to the interior of the post 20 and can be used for cable management. It is understood that additional openings can be provided on any surface, and can be arranged in a variety of configurations.
  • Referring to FIGS. 2 a and 3, post 20 is coupled to the wall 10 via upper mount 30 and lower mount 40. In this example, the upper mount 30 is generally a wall mountable bar that supports the post. FIG. 2 b shows the upper mount 30 in cross section. In this example, the upper mount 30 has a generally three sided rectangular cross section. The upper mount 30 has a top surface 31, bottom surface 32 and a front surface 33. The front surface 33 is formed with a plurality of slots 34, generally arranged to accept one or more fasteners 35. The upper mount 30 is secured to the wall 10 at a height H above the floor 12, where H is generally greater then the post length L. The upper mount 30 is secured to the wall 10 with one or more fasteners 35, as generally shown in FIG. 2 a. For example, attaching the upper mount 30 to dry wall surfaces can be accomplished by aligning the threaded fasteners with one or more wall studs. In the alternative, wall anchors or the like can be utilized. Similarly, attaching the upper mount 30 to masonry walls can be accomplished with masonry screws, wall anchors or the like. It is well within the grasp of those skilled in the art to select appropriate fasteners to secure the upper mount 30 to a given wall surface. It is also understood that adhesives can be used in place of mechanical fasteners. In this example the upper mount 30 is manufactured from metal. However, the upper mount 30 can be manufactured from a variety of other materials such as wood, plastics, laminated structures, composites and the like. It is also appreciated that the upper mount 30 can be formed with other geometric profiles without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • In order to simplify installation, the upper mount 30 can be somewhat loosely secured to the wall 10, thereby leaving a small gap between the upper mount 30 and the wall 10. The post 20 can then be temporarily hung from the upper mount 30 until the lower mount 40 is secured. Post 20, generally has an upper end 15 and a lower end 18. The upper end 15 is generally formed with a slot 16 that is appropriately sized to receive the upper mount 30. The upper end 15 is also formed with a lip 17 that generally hooks behind the upper mount 30 (i.e., between the upper mount 30 and the wall 10), thereby retaining the post 20 until the lower mount 40 is secured (see FIG. 4 c ). It is understood that the lower end 18 of the post 20 can be secured to the wall 10 directly, thereby functioning as a lower mount without requiring additional structure. However, a bar shaped lower mount allowing the use of two or more fasteners displaced from the center line of the post 20 can provide additional stability.
  • FIGS. 3, and 4 b show an exemplary lower mount 40 in accordance with the invention. In this example, lower mount 40 is generally a wall mountable bar that supports the post 20. The side surfaces 22 and 23 have one or more holes 27 that can be used to secure the lower mount 40 to the post 20. Holes 27 can optionally be threaded to receive threaded fasteners. In this example, the lower mount 40 is composed of two arms 41. Each arm 41 has a wall mounting portion 42 and a post mounting portion 43. The wall mounting portion 42 is formed with at least one slot 44 that can accept one or more fasteners 45. The post mounting portion 43 is formed with one or more holes 46, that can accept threaded fasteners 47. In this example, threaded fasteners 47 are passed through the holes 46 in the post mounting portion 43 and are threaded into the holes 27 formed side surfaces 22, 23. It is appreciated that once the lower mount 40 is secured, the lip 17 will effectively be locked behind the upper mount 30. It is also appreciated that the lower mount 40 can be formed with other geometric profiles without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • As shown in FIG. 3, the lower mount 40 is generally secured to the wall 10 via appropriate fasteners. For example, attaching the lower mount 40 to dry wall surfaces can be accomplished by aligning the threaded fasteners with one or more wall studs. In the alternative, wall anchors or the like can be utilized. Similarly, attaching the lower mount 40 to masonry walls can be accomplished with masonry screws, wall anchors or the like. It is well within the grasp of those skilled in the art to select appropriate fasteners to secure the lower mount 40 to a given wall surface. It is also understood that adhesives can be used in place of mechanical fasteners. In this example the lower mount 40 is manufactured from metal. However, the lower mount 40 can be manufactured from a variety of other materials such as wood, plastics, laminated structures, composites and the like.
  • As stated above, the workstation has a wall mounted post 20 and one or more accessories. The post 20 is generally oriented vertically with respect to the plane of the floor 12.
