Publication number: 20190090630Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for positioning an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: Joel Hazzard, Robert William Fluhrer, Peter Segar, John William Theis, Mustafa A. Ergun, Scott Trish

Publication number: 20180279772Abstract: A height adjustable table can include a plurality of legs, a lower portion, a worksurface, a height adjustable surface, and a linkage. The worksurface can be supported by the plurality of legs and can include a fixed surface and a height adjustable surface. The fixed surface can be secured to at least one of the lower portion and the plurality of legs, and the fixed surface can define a recessed portion. The height adjustable surface can be movable between a raised position and a lowered position so that the height-adjustable surface retracts into the recessed portion when in the lowered position so that the height adjustable surface is coplanar with the fixed surface. The linkage can be configured to move the height adjustable surface between the lowered position and the raised position so that the height adjustable surface remains parallel to the fixed surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2016Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Mustafa A. Ergun et al., John William Theis, Michael John Mullen

Publication number: 20180213929Abstract: In one example, a height adjustable desktop system is described that can include a work surface, a foot assembly and a linkage assembly that adjustably connects the work surface to the foot assembly allowing vertical adjustment of the work surface. The linkage assembly can include a pair of adjustment assemblies, each having a transverse linkage that maintains the work surface in a horizontal orientation as the work surface is elevated or lowered. A biasing mechanism, such as an extension spring or a torsion spring, biases the work surface toward the elevated position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2018Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Mustafa A. Ergun, Thiem Wong, John William Theis
