Abstract

A seating assembly includes a base. A cushion assembly is rotatably coupled with the base proximate a forward portion of the cushion assembly. A first removable peripheral bin is disposed on a side wall of the base. A second removable peripheral bin is disposed on a rear wall of the base. A power and data assembly includes a power relay and a data relay configured for use with mobile devices. The power and data assembly is disposed proximate a rear of the first removable peripheral bin and a side of the second removable peripheral bin.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seating assembly comprising:
a base;
a cushion assembly rotatably coupled with the base proximate a forward portion of the cushion assembly;

a second removable peripheral bin disposed on a rear wall of the base; and
a power and data assembly including a power relay and a data relay configured for use with mobile devices; the power and data assembly disposed proximate a rear of the first removable peripheral bin and a side of the second removable peripheral bin.

2. The seating assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a third removable peripheral bin operably coupled with the base.

3. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second removable peripheral bins includes an inductive charging feature.

4. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the power relay includes a three prong receiver configured to receive a three prong plug.

5. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second removable peripheral bins include walls that are integrally formed together.

6. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second removable peripheral bins is sized to accommodate a laptop computer.

7. A seating assembly comprising:
a base;
a cushion assembly rotatably coupled with the base proximate a forward portion of the cushion assembly;
a first peripheral storage bin disposed on a side wall of the base;
a second peripheral storage bin disposed on a rear wall of the base; and
one of a power plug assembly and a data plug assembly juxtaposed between the first and second peripheral storage bins.

8. The seating assembly of claim 7 , further comprising:
a third peripheral storage bin operably coupled with the base.

9. The seating assembly of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first and second peripheral storage bins includes an inductive charging feature.

10. The seating assembly of claim 7 , wherein the power plug assembly includes a three prong receiver configured to receive a three prong plug.

11. The seating assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first and second peripheral storage bins include walls that are integrally formed together.

12. The seating assembly of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first and second peripheral storage bins is sized to accommodate a laptop computer.

13. A seating assembly comprising:
a base;
a cushion assembly rotatably coupled with the base proximate a forward portion of the cushion assembly;
a first peripheral storage bin disposed on a side wall of the base;
a second peripheral storage bin disposed on a rear wall of the base; and
a power and data assembly extending from the first peripheral storage bin and in abutting contact with the second peripheral storage bin.

14. The seating assembly of claim 13 , further comprising:
a third peripheral storage bin operably coupled with the base.

15. The seating assembly of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first and second peripheral storage bins includes an inductive charging feature.

16. The seating assembly of claim 13 , wherein the power and data assembly includes a three prong receiver configured to receive a three prong plug.

17. The seating assembly of claim 13 , wherein the first and second peripheral storage bins include walls that are integrally formed together.
