  • Patent number: 11950668
    Abstract: In some aspects, a convertible case (10) for a portable electronic device includes a bottom surface (18) having a first panel. A top surface (14) is moveably coupled to the bottom surface (18). The top surface (14) has a second panel. The bottom surface (18) and the top surface (14) at least partially define a cavity (34) having an opening. The bottom surface (18) and top surface (14) are moveable with respect to one another between a storage configuration and a working configuration. In the storage configuration the opening has a first size, and the cavity (34) and the opening are sized to receive a portable electronic device. In the working configuration the opening has a second size larger than the first size, and the bottom and top surface (18,14) are positioned to support the portable electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11950698
    Abstract: A height adjustable work surface includes a platform and a height adjustment assembly moveably connected to the platform. A leg assembly is connected to the height adjustment assembly and moveably connected to the platform. The leg assembly is moveable between a raised position and a lowered position. A locking assembly is moveably connected to the platform. The locking assembly is configured to engage the height adjustment assembly to selectively secure the leg assembly in the raised position and the lowered position. The locking assembly includes a handle and a latch. At least a portion of the latch is moveable between a first position and a second position. The latch includes a gravity actuated lockout mechanism configured to prevent movement of the latch to the second position unless the platform is in a normal operating orientation.

    Abstract: A support system for a display device includes a first arm configured to extend from a support surface. A second arm is rotatably connected to the first arm. The second arm has a range of movement relative to the first arm. A tilt head is rotatably connected to the second arm and configured to connect to a display. A first biasing member is positioned in the second arm and configured to provide a first counterbalancing force to the second arm to offset a load of the display. A second biasing member is positioned in the second arm and configured to provide a second counterbalancing force to the second arm to offset the load of the display. A lockout mechanism is configured to disengage the second biasing member and eliminate the second counterbalancing through at least a portion of the range of motion.
