Abstract: A height-adjustable work station includes (a) a partition wall having an internal wall frame and axially opposed first and second exterior wall surfaces mounted to the wall frame, the first and second exterior wall surfaces spaced axially apart by a wall thickness; (b) a carriage support located within the wall thickness and mounted to the wall frame, the carriage support including a vertical track; (c) a carriage mounted to the carriage support in sliding engagement with the track; (d) a work surface assembly movably supported by the carriage on a first side of the wall; and (e) a linear actuator mounted within the wall thickness and coupled to the carriage, the actuator configured to vertically translate the carriage along the track for facilitating height adjustment of the work surface assembly.

Abstract: A height-adjustable workstation includes a worksurface and a worksurface actuator for supporting the worksurface above a floor surface. The worksurface actuator is operable to raise and lower the worksurface relative to the floor surface. A display support apparatus secured to the worksurface includes a display support actuator and a display mount. The display support actuator is operable to move the display mount relative to the worksurface between a neutral position and an offset position. The display support actuator is configured to move the display support to the offset position in response to the worksurface being raised above a pre-determined height relative to the floor surface, and to move the display support to the neutral position in response to the worksurface being lowered below the pre-determined height. The height-adjustable workstation may optionally include an output-adjusting task light.

Abstract: A height-adjustable furniture piece has a wall mounting plate configured to be secured to an interior wall, a frame, a first actuator secured to the wall mounting plate and to a wall-facing surface of the frame, and a display mount secured to a room-facing surface of the frame. A worksurface is secured to and extends outwardly from a lower portion of the frame. A single height-adjustable leg is secured to the worksurface to support the furniture piece on a floor surface. The height-adjustable leg has a second actuator. The first actuator and the second actuator are adapted to operate to raise and lower the frame and the worksurface relative to the floor surface.

Abstract: A height-adjustable table includes a frame supporting a work surface; a pair of lower legs supporting the frame; a pulley mechanism coupling the frame and the lower legs for vertically moving the frame relative to the lower legs; and a spring located within a passage extending through the frame. The spring has a fixed end secured to the frame and a movable end movable relative to the frame over a first distance for exerting a force over the first distance. The table further includes a block-and-tackle assembly located within the passage. The block-and-tackle assembly couples the movable end of the spring to the pulley mechanism for transferring the force exerted by the spring over the first distance to vertical movement of the frame relative to the lower legs over a second distance greater than the first distance.

Abstract: A height-adjustable table can include a frame supporting a work surface; a pair of lower legs supporting the frame; a pulley mechanism coupling the frame and the pair of lower legs for vertically moving the frame relative to the pair of lower legs; and a spring located within a passage extending through the frame. The spring may have a fixed end secured to the frame and a movable end movable relative to the frame over a first distance for exerting a force over the first distance. The table can have a block-and-tackle assembly located within the passage and coupling the movable end of the spring to the pulley mechanism. The block-and-tackle assembly can transfer the force exerted by the spring over the first distance to vertical movement of the frame relative to the pair of lower legs over a second distance greater than the first distance.
