  • Publication number: 20190368651
    Abstract: The present application discloses an articulating support arm with one or more improved friction joint designs that use a non-annular bushing. In particular, the bushing is designed to interact with another portion of the friction joint to prevent rotational movement of the bushing, thereby minimizing the risk of joint malfunction. A bushing that interacts with a larger percentage of the width of a friction cylinder as compared to prior art devices, thereby improving the performance of the joint, is also disclosed. The improved friction joint according to the present invention may comprise an arm joint and/or tilter joint.

  • Patent number: 10463147
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adjustable workstation for attaching to a support surface. The workstation includes a base having at least one fastener for securing the base to the support surface and a column attached to the top surface of the base. The column includes a lift configured to move between a lowered position adjacent to the support surface and a raised position located between the top end and the bottom end of the column. Attached to the lift is a worksurface having a front edge, and an extending member connects the lift to the worksurface. The extendable member is configured to adjust the location of the worksurface longitudinally from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the front edge of the worksurface is vertically alignable with the front edge of the support surface when the extending member is in the extended position.
