DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] Before any embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the following drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. [0050] Figs. 1, 2A and 2B illustrate a table 10. The table 10 may be, for example, a desk at which a person may sit. The table 10 generally includes a tabletop 14 supported by at least one height adjustable leg 18. The height adjustable leg 18 can be extended and retracted to adjust the height of the tabletop 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the height adjustable leg 18 has a rectangular cross-section. In other embodiments, the height adjustable leg 18 can have another cross-section shape such as a circular or oblong. In the illustrated embodiment, the table 10 includes two height adjustable legs 18. In other embodiments, the table 10 may include fewer or more height adjustable legs 18, such as one leg, three legs, or four legs. In some embodiments, the legs 18 may not be height adjustable.

[0051] The height adjustable leg 18 includes a first end adjacent the tabletop 14 and a second end opposite the first end. In the illustrated embodiment, the tabletop 14 is rectangular in shape, although, in other embodiments, the tabletop 14 may be circular, oblong, or the like. The tabletop 14 has a front edge 22 and a back edge 26 opposite the front edge 22. The front edge 22 is configured to be adjacent a user sitting at, standing at, or using the table 10. The tabletop 14 has an upper surface defining a work surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. The first end of the height adjustable leg 18 is coupled to the tabletop 14 adjacent the back edge 26. The height adjustable leg 18 is coupled to the tabletop 14 via a mounting bracket 30.

[0052] The table 10 further includes at least one leg shroud 34 positioned around at least a portion of the height adjustable leg 18. In some embodiments, the leg shroud 34 may support the height adjustable leg 18. In other embodiments, the height adjustable leg 18 may extend through the leg shroud 34 and contact the ground to support itself. The leg shroud 34 substantially covers a lower portion of the height adjustable leg 18. With reference to FIG. 3, the leg shroud 34 also has an overall length L. The overall length L is measured in a direction parallel to a direction between the front edge 22 and the back edge 26 of the tabletop 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the overall length L is generally equal to a depth of the tabletop 14 from the front edge 22 to the back edge 26. In other embodiments, the overall length L of the leg shroud 34 and the depth of the tabletop 14 may be different.

[0053] With reference to Figs. 3 and 4, the leg shroud 34 includes a first portion 38 and a second portion 42 extending from the first portion 38. The first portion 38 receives the portion of the height adjustable leg 18. The second portion 42 extends from the first portion 38 toward the front edge 22 of the tabletop 14. The first portion 38 has a first width Wl, and the second portion 42 has a second width W2. The first and second widths Wl, W2 are measured in a side- to-side direction of the table 10 (e.g., parallel to the front edge 22 of the tabletop 14). In the illustrated embodiment, the first width Wl is generally constant along a length of the first portion 38, and the second width W2 is generally constant along the length of the second portion 42. In some embodiments, the first width W 1 and/or the second width W2 may vary along the lengths of the first or second portions 38, 42. In such embodiments, the first width W 1 and the second width W2 may be considered a maximum width of each portion 38, 42. The second width W2 is less than the first width W 1. Specifically, the second width W2 is less than half of the first width W 1. More specifically, the second width W2 is less than a quarter of the first width Wl . In other embodiments, the second width W2 is approximately a third of the width of the first width Wl.

[0054] With reference to FIG. 3, the first portion 38 also has a first length LI, and the second portion 42 has a second length L2. The first and second lengths LI, L2 are measured in a front- to-back direction of the table 10 (e.g., perpendicular to the front edge 22 of the tabletop 14). The first and second lengths LI, L2 are also perpendicular to the first and second widths Wl, W2. In the illustrated embodiment, the first length LI is less than the second length L2. In some embodiments, the second length L2 may be about 30% to 40% longer than the first length LI . In other words, the first length LI is less than half of the overall length L, and the second length L2 is more than half of the overall length L. In other embodiments, the first length LI may be longer than the second length L2. In still other embodiments, the first length LI and the second length L2 may be generally equal.

[0055] The second portion 42 defines a cutback 46 relative to the first portion 38. The cutback 46 includes a space free of the material of the leg shroud 34. The cutback 46 is formed on an inner side of the leg shroud 34 (e.g., the side of the leg shroud 34 facing a user using the table 10). The cutback 46 provides extra space for legs of a user, compared to similar leg shroud without a cutback and narrower second portion. An outer side of the leg shroud 34 (e.g., the side of the leg shroud 34 facing outward or away from a user of the table 10) is generally flat and planar. The leg shroud 34 additionally includes a top side 47 facing the tabletop 14 and a bottom side 48 opposite the top side 46. Feet 50, or glides, are coupled to the bottom side 48 of the first portion. The feet 50 are configured to support the leg shroud 34. In some embodiments, the feet 50 may be adjustable.

[0056] The first portion 38 includes a first end 54 from which the second portion 42 extends and a second end 56 opposite the first end 54. The first portion 38 defines a receiving opening 58 configured to receive the height adjustable leg 18. The receiving opening 58 is arranged adjacent the first end 54 of the first portion 38 and is arranged in the top surface 46 of the leg shroud 34. The height adjustable leg 18 extends through of the receiving opening 58. A crosssection of the receiving opening 58 is the same shape as the cross-section of the height adjustable leg 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving opening 58 has a rectangular cross-section. The height adjustable leg 18 may be at least partially supported by the first portion 38. In other embodiments, the first portion 38 can surround the height adjustable leg 18 without supporting the height adjustable leg 18.

[0057] The first portion 38 defines a cord passthrough area 62. The cord passthrough area 62 is configured to accommodate a portion of a at least one cord or cable. For example, the cord passthrough area 62 may accommodate power cords for operating the height adjustable leg 18. The cord passthrough area 62 may also or alternatively accommodate power or data cables for receptacles embedded in the tabletop 14 or electronic devices (e.g., a laptop, monitor, etc.) positioned on the tabletop 14. The cord passthrough area 62 is arranged adjacent the portion of the height adjustable leg 18 received in the first portion 38. In the illustrated embodiment, the height adjustable leg 18 is positioned between the cord passthrough area 62 and the second portion 42 of the leg shroud 34.

[0058] The first portion 38 also includes a cord inlet 64 arranged on the second end 56 of the first portion 38 adjacent the bottom side 48 of the leg shroud 34. The cord inlet 64 is formed by a rectangular cutout. In other embodiments, the cord inlet 64 may have other shapes and/or may be formed in the bottom side 48 of the leg shroud 34. The cord inlet 64 opens into the cord passthrough area 62 so that the portion of the at least one cord or cable can be routed into the cord passthrough area 62. [0059] The first portion 38 also includes a cord outlet 66 arranged in the top surface of the leg shroud 34. The cord outlet 66 opens into the cord passthrough area 62 so that the at least one cord or cable can be routed out of the cord passthrough area 62 and to the tabletop 14. The cord outlet 66 is disposed adjacent to the receiving opening 58. In the illustrated embodiment, the cord outlet 66 is generally rectangular in shape. In other embodiments, the cord outlet 66 can be another shape such as circular or oblong.

[0060] With reference to Figs. 5-6, an accessory rail 70 can be mounted on the second portion 42 within the cutback 46. The accessory rail 70 is mounted on the inner side of the leg shroud 34.
