  • Publication number: 20100258040
    Abstract: An executive/clerical type office desk embodying a fully contained electromechanical system for elevating and lowering the desktop, between a user's seating position and a full standing position. Three telescoping stanchions support and control the desktop height from a standard-desk height to an upper height of about 44 inches. The desktop rest directly on three poles sliding inside the telescoping support stanchions. The sliding poles are lifted and lowered by cables looped-under pulleys mounted in bottom of said poles, and are drawn up and released by an electric-motor-driven cable winch. Anti-friction treatments are in place between the inner sliding members and the supporting stanchions. By said cables looping under pulleys, installed in the bottom of each inner telescoping member, and anchoring atop the telescoping stanchions a lifting mechanical advantage of two is obtained. The user operates a three position electrical switch to raise and lower the desktop.
