Publication number: 20240023712Abstract: A weight-sensitive, reclinable seating apparatus that features a backrest pivot mechanism positioned entirely within the seat assembly (200) of the seating apparatus. The backrest pivot mechanism comprises a plurality of ramp assemblages positioned within the seat assembly (200), with the ramp assemblages each comprising one or more motion-facilitating components (272a, 272b, 222a, 222b, 252a, 252b) that engage one or more ramps (215a, 215b, 255a, 255b, 217a, 217b). The motion-facilitating components (272a, 272, 222a, 222b, 252a, 252b) cooperate with the ramps (215a, 215b, 255a, 255b, 217a, 217b) to provide a virtual pivot (400) for the backrest (317) that is projected above the seat surface. The backrest pivot mechanism minimizes the vertical drop of the backrest during the recline motion, which in turn minimizes the seat lift during the recline motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Humanscale CorporationInventor: Greg Allison

Patent number: 11867355Abstract: An adjustable support arm capable of providing users with a wide range of height, depth, tilt, and swivel options. The adjustable support arm may comprise an arm assembly releasably mounted to a base assembly. In further embodiments, the adjustable support arm may also comprise an articulating joint connected to the arm assembly, and an accessory bracket assembly connected to the articulating joint. A quick-release joint comprising a spring-loaded pivot latch may be utilized to releasably connect the arm assembly to the base assembly. To dampen side-to-side movement of the arm assembly, the adjustable support arm may also comprise a friction cartridge assembly comprising a taper-lock bushing and one or more set screws. A ring-shaped, adjustable panning insert can be coupled to the arm assembly to restrict the range of side-to-side motion of the support arm. The adjustable arm can further comprise a quick-release accessory fastening mechanism for easy removal and attachment of a mounted object (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Humanscale CorporationInventors: Jacob Glickstein, Steve Bender, Ross Velazquez, Travis Yoch

Patent number: 11725772Abstract: An adjustable support arm utilizing an elastomeric member having a dynamic attachment point to support the weight of an attached object. The adjustable support arm can include a lower bracket that is connected to an upper bracket by an upper arm and a lower arm. The elastomeric member counterbalances the weight of an attached object. The first end of the elastomeric member can be attached to a linkage, which can include a first, second, and third link and the second end of the elastomeric member can be attached to one of the arms. The links can be coupled to each other between the upper and lower arms such that the linkage is dynamically moveable upon movement of the support arm.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Humanscale CorporationInventor: Vladimir Stanislavovich Chumakov

Publication number: 20230218076Abstract: An adjustable height table base assembly includes two or more leg assemblies each including a mobile leg member, a stationary leg member, and a linear motion system. The mobile and stationary leg members are each formed of a flat vertical support structure. The leg assemblies are configured to extend and retract to adjust a height position of the mobile leg member and any table top secured to the mobile leg member. The mobile leg members slide in a parallel direction in relation to the stationary leg members by means of linear motion systems. The power mechanism for the adjustable height table may comprise a counterbalance mechanism or one or more electric motors. Optionally, each of the leg assemblies also includes a non-load bearing cover enclosing at least a portion of the mobile leg member and at least a portion of the stationary leg member.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Humanscale CorporationInventor: Vladimir Chumakov
