  • Publication number: 20180184797
    Abstract: An ultra-thin lifting table includes a lower platform, an upper platform, a movable brace, and a gas-assisted extension strut. The upper platform is located above the lower platform and configured to move up and down with respect to the lower platform. The movable brace includes an inner frame and an outer frame that are crossed and pivotally connected. The inner and outer frames are nested together and installed between the upper and lower platforms. Pivot of the inner and outer frames drives the upper platform to move up and down with respect to the lower platform. The gas-assisted extension strut provides gas-assisted thrust and is pivotally connected between the inner and outer frames for generating a lifting force when the inner and outer frames have an angle of cross therebetween. Thereby, when folded down, the inner and outer frames are horizontally placed between the upper and lower platforms.

  • Patent number: 9888766
    Abstract: A lifting mechanism with support function includes pivot arm component composed of a first pivot arm and a second pivot arm parallel to each other. The first and second pivot arms each have two ends thereof pivotally connected to a fixation joint and an active joint respectively, and the pivotally connected points connecting the first link, the second link, the fixation joint and the active joint jointly define a parallelogram. One end of an adjustable damper pivotally connects to the pivot arm component, and the other end thereof pivotally connects to the fixation joint or the active joint via an adjustment component, so the adjustable damper can be controlled to extend/retract or be locked; the adjustment component includes a first pivot seat capable of relatively moving to change the support angle of the adjustable damper to adjust the damping support force provided from the adjustable damper.

  • Publication number: 20170340104
    Abstract: A lifting platform, includes a movable support frame composed of a first and a second frames being cross pivotally and slidably connect between a bearing platform and a base, at least a positioning connecting rod set between the movable support frame and a portion close to the middle of the bearing platform or the base, and a damping extension element combine with an adjustment element and mounted on the movable support frame between the bearing platform and the base; the damping extension element controlled with extension or locking for adjusting the cross angle of the movable support frame, the adjustment element is provided to adjust the position of the damping extension element to form different supporting force to balance difference of bearing weight of the bearing platform, to achieve the effect of reducing the force required to operate the bearing platform for lifting.

  • Publication number: 20160084432
    Abstract: A self-positionable lifting device includes a linkage that has mutually parallel first and second links. The first and second links each have two ends thereof pivotally connected to a loading component and a loading platform set, respectively, so that pivotally connected points connecting the first link and the second link to the loading component and the loading platform set jointly define a parallelogramic area. The self-positionable lifting device further includes a damping mechanism that has a damper and a switch. The damper is provided between the linkage and loading component. The switch controls the damper to extend or retract by means of a control cord, the loading platform set can horizontally move in multiple directions with respect to the loading component as a result of relative pivotal movements between the first and second links. After adjustment, the loading platform set can be positioned.

  • Publication number: 20100301186
    Abstract: An adjustable support device includes a support, a lift mechanism, and a pulley unit. The support includes at least two casings which are slidably connected with each other so as to adjust the length of the support. The lift mechanism includes a threaded rod screwed into a nut for changing the distance between the casings. The pulley unit is adapted for driving the casings. The present invention provides a labor-saving effect for operation.
