  • Patent number: 11339917
    Abstract: A pedestal is provided having a telescoping column and an integrated master/slave actuator unit for a telescoping column of a pedestal-mounted support structure such as a surgical bucket, storage container, receptacle, utility tray, work surface, seat, equipment or automotive service rack, or other platform. The telescoping column preferably is vertically extendible and retractable by an actuator unit, which preferably is manually-actuated such as by being foot-actuated and vertically extendable to raise and lower the platform. The actuator unit is operated by an actuator pedal or other drive unit through an actuator stroke, which causes the column to raise and lower through a lift stroke. The actuator stroke is smaller than the lift stroke so that a small movement, such as by downward movement of the user's foot, allows the column to rise through an extended distance, i.e. the lift stroke.
