Abstract

A workstation includes a base workstation compartment including a floor, a plurality of side walls, a top member, and a back member, each of the side walls being joined to the floor, the back member, and the top member forming a first cavity with a first depth; at least one multi-fold door rotatably coupled to each of the side walls, wherein the at least one multi-fold door includes a secondary structure and a tertiary structure, wherein the secondary structure is rotatably coupled on a first side to the side walls of the base workstation compartment, the secondary structure defining a secondary compartment that has a second cavity with a second depth; the tertiary structure is rotatably coupled to a second side of the secondary structure; and a base table connected to the first cavity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A workstation, comprising:

         2 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the base table includes:
 a sliding section; and   a pivot section hinged to the sliding section.   
     
     
         3 . The workstation of  claim 2 , further including:
 a first sliding surface connected to a first side wall of the base workstation compartment;   a second sliding surface connected to a second side wall of the base workstation compartment;   wherein the sliding section of the base table is slidably attached to the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface.   
     
     
         4 . The workstation of  claim 2 , further including:
 a first arched surface connected to a first side wall of the base workstation compartment;   a second arched surface connected to a second side wall of the base workstation compartment;   wherein the pivot section of the base table is movably attached to the first arched surface and the second arched surface.   
     
     
         5 . The workstation of  claim 4 , further including:
 a pin connected to the pivot section of the base table;   wherein at least one of the first arched surface and the second arched surface is defined by an arched groove; and   wherein the pin connects the pivot section to the arched groove.   
     
     
         6 . The workstation of  claim 2 , wherein the pivot section of the base table further includes:
 a hinged edge pivotally connected to the sliding section;   a back edge opposite of the hinged edge;   wherein the pivot section is pivotable with respect to the sliding section so that the back edge is level with the hinged edge when the sliding section is moved forward out of the first cavity and so that the back edge is elevated towards the top member when the sliding section is retracted into the first cavity.   
     
     
         7 . The workstation of  claim 6 , further including a handle incorporated into the back edge. 
     
     
         8 . The workstation of  claim 7 , wherein the sliding section further includes a table cavity defined in a working surface of the sliding section;
 wherein the table cavity includes a cavity floor spaced below and apart from the working surface at a distance;   the cavity floor being connected to the working surface by at least one cavity side wall.   
     
     
         9 . The workstation of  claim 1 , further including a foldout table foldably connected to the secondary structure. 
     
     
         10 . The workstation of  claim 9 , wherein the foldout table includes a storage position that is sandwiched between the secondary structure and the tertiary structure. 
     
     
         11 . The workstation of  claim 10 , further including a foldable leg connected to the foldout table, wherein the foldable leg is positioned adjacent to the tertiary structure when the foldout table is sandwiched between the secondary structure and the tertiary structure. 
     
     
         12 . The workstation of  claim 9 , wherein the foldout table is level with the base table when the foldout table is in an unfolded position. 
     
     
         13 . The workstation of  claim 1 , wherein the tertiary structure includes a tertiary compartment defined at least in part by a tertiary depth of the tertiary structure. 
     
     
         14 . The workstation of  claim 13 , wherein the secondary compartment includes a secondary height;
 wherein the tertiary compartment includes a tertiary height;   wherein the tertiary height is between ¾ and ¼ of the secondary height.   
     
     
         15 . The workstation of  claim 14 , further including a foldout table connected to the secondary compartment;
 wherein a bottom edge of the tertiary compartment is located above the foldout table when the foldout table is in an unfolded position.   
     
     
         16 . A workstation, comprising:
 a base workstation compartment including a floor, a plurality of side walls, a top member, and a back member, each of the side walls being joined to the floor, the back member, and the top member forming a first cavity with a first depth;   at least one multi-fold door rotatably coupled to each of the side walls, wherein the at least one multi-fold door includes a secondary structure and a tertiary structure, wherein the secondary structure is rotatably coupled on a first side to the side walls of the base workstation compartment, the secondary structure defining a secondary compartment that has a second cavity with a second depth;   the tertiary structure is rotatably coupled to a second side of the secondary structure;   a base table connected to the first cavity;   a working surface of the base table including a first section connected to a hinged edge of a second section with at least one hinge and   a foldout table connected to the at least one multi-fold door;   wherein the foldout table is level with the base table when the foldout table is in an unfolded position.   
     
     
         17 . The workstation of  claim 16 , wherein the tertiary structure includes a tertiary compartment defined at least in part by a tertiary depth of the tertiary structure. 
     
     
         18 . The workstation of  claim 17 , wherein the secondary compartment includes a secondary height;
 wherein the tertiary compartment includes a tertiary height;   wherein the tertiary height is between ¾ and ¼ of the secondary height.   
     
     
         19 . The workstation of  claim 18 , wherein a bottom edge of the tertiary compartment is located above the foldout table when the foldout table is in an unfolded position. 
     
     
         20 . A workstation, comprising:
 a base workstation compartment including a floor, a plurality of side walls, a top member, and a back member, each of the side walls being joined to the floor, the back member, and the top member forming a first cavity with a first depth;   at least one multi-fold door rotatably coupled to each of the side walls, wherein the at least one multi-fold door includes a secondary structure and a tertiary structure, wherein the secondary structure is rotatably coupled on a first side to the side walls of the base workstation compartment, the secondary structure defining a secondary compartment that has a second cavity with a second depth;   the tertiary structure is rotatably coupled to a second side of the secondary structure; and   a base table connected to the first cavity;   a working surface of the base table including a first section connected to a hinged edge of a second section with at least one hinge;   wherein the foldout table is level with the sliding section of the base table when the foldout table is in an unfolded position;   a first arched surface connected to a first side wall of the base workstation compartment; and   a second arched surface connected to a second side wall of the base workstation compartment;   wherein the pivot section of the base table is movably attached to the first arched surface and the second arched surface.
