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. 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.

Abstract: In the specification and drawings an accessory cart is described and shown with a base, a housing element that is connected to the base and extends upward from the base, and a platform, which is connected to the housing element with the height of the platform being automatically adjustable.

Abstract: Horizontally movable arm pads are useful for, among other things, their ability to be ergonomically positioned. An arm pad comprises a pad cover and a pad pan and is attached to an arm support. In one embodiment, a pad is laterally movable with respect to the arm support. In another embodiment, a pad is capable of moving forwards and backwards. In yet another embodiment, a pad is capable of moving laterally and forwards and backwards.

Abstract: The invention provides a seating apparatus having a reclining movement with a corresponding seat lift movement. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a seating apparatus comprising a base, a curved support bar pivotally connected to the base, a plurality of ramps attached to one of the curved support bar and the base, and a plurality of rollers attached to the other of the curved support bar and the base for interacting with the plurality of ramps. As a user reclines, the plurality of rollers operatively engage the plurality of ramps to lift the seat of the apparatus. The combination of the reclining movement with the corresponding seat lift movement is particularly beneficial for providing an increased level of user comfort throughout a range of seating positions.

Abstract: In the specification and drawings a lighting apparatus is described and shown with a first light source having a light output with a central axis; a first reflector; and a first lens positioned between said first light source and said first reflector, such that at least a portion of the light output of said first light source passes through said first lens, and is redirected by said first reflector. Also described and shown in the specification and drawings is a lighting apparatus kit, as well as a method of illuminating an area.

Abstract: The invention provides mechanisms useful for adjusting the positioning of an attached device, such as a display or input device. In one embodiment, the mechanism is a front end height adjustment mechanism comprising a track apparatus, a display mounting bracket, a sliding bracket, and a motion regulating device. In another embodiment, the mechanism comprises a device support arm, such as a monitor arm. The invention further provides a method for adjusting the positioning of a display or input device, such as a flat screen monitor, wherein the method comprises providing a mechanism of the invention, attaching the mechanism to a support, attaching a display or input device to the mechanism, and positionally adjusting the display or input device.

Abstract: In the specification and drawings an accessory cart is described and shown with a base, a housing element that is connected to the base and extends upward from the base, and a platform, which is connected to the housing element with the height of the platform being automatically adjustable.

Abstract: A mesh chair component having contours that support a user appropriately can be made by combining a plurality of mesh panels to form the component. For instance, in a preferred embodiment of the present inventions, three preformed mesh panels are combined to form the back rest of a chair that provides its user with lumbar support without the necessity of additional structural support. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, mesh panels are used in combination with a beneficially contoured frame to provide a chair seat with a waterfall front.

Abstract: Accessory holders useful for facilitating the support and positional adjustment of secured accessories. More particularly, a positionally adjustable accessory holder for use with one or more accessories, preferably input or output devices, such as video displays, monitors, keyboards, keypads, laptops and the like. The accessory holder further allows for easy three-dimensional adjustment of two such devices to place the devices in relative positions more ergonomically desirable for a variety of users and workspaces, and features a counter-balance mechanism for balancing the weight of the secured accessories.

Abstract: In the specification and drawings a reclinable chair is described and shown having a recline mechanism pivotally attaching a backrest to a support assembly. The recline mechanism comprises a coupler operatively connected to an elastomeric spring assembly. The elastomeric spring assembly has four elastomeric inserts positioned between a polygon-shaped core and a polygon-shaped exterior housing. The exterior housing is fixed to the backrest, while the core is fixed to the coupler. The exterior housing has an outwardly protruding tooth positioned between the coupler's inwardly protruding preload stop and the coupler's inwardly protruding recline stop such that the primary tooth engages the preload stop when the chair is in a rested state and engages the recline stop when the chair is in a fully reclined state.
