  • Patent number: 11118729
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a display in a plurality of positions between a lower position and an upper position has a base support, a display support member, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a first link member, a second link member, and a tension spring. In the lower position, the display bracket is below an upper end of the base support, and in the upper position, the display bracket is above the upper end of the base support. In each of the plurality of positions, a vertical component of an upward force exerted on the display support member by the linkage assembly is substantially constant.

  • Publication number: 20190343272
    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.

  • Patent number: 9820565
    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.

  • Patent number: 9700136
    Abstract: A height adjustable table, which has a counterbalance mechanism integrated into a top assembly of the table is disclosed. The height adjustable table can include a top assembly supported by a base assembly, which can include right and left telescoping leg assemblies. The top assembly can include a work surface supported by a housing. A counterbalance mechanism, which can include a spring coupled to a snail cam pulley, can be mounted within the housing. A synchronized lift mechanism, which can include at least two bands operatively engaged with a pulley system disposed within the right and left telescoping leg assemblies, can be operatively coupled to the snail cam pulley such that the counterbalance force provided by the counterbalance mechanism is transmitted to the synchronized lift mechanism.

  • Patent number: 9038549
    Abstract: A height adjustable table, which has a constant-force counterbalance mechanism integrated into a top assembly of the table is disclosed. The height adjustable table can include a top assembly supported by a base assembly, which can include right and left telescoping leg assemblies. The top assembly can include a work surface supported by a housing. A counterbalance mechanism, which can include a spring coupled to a snail cam pulley, can be mounted within the housing.
