Publication number: 20230389693Abstract: A coupling system between the frame and the leg assembly of a workstation is described. The coupling system can be configured to selectively attach and detach the leg assembly from the frame. The leg assembly can include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism can be configured to adjust the length of the leg. The leg assembly can include a leg coupling feature and the frame can have a frame coupling feature. The leg coupling feature can be configured to engage with the frame coupling feature, for instance to attach the leg to the frame. The workstation can include a latch configured to engage with the leg assembly. Engagement of the latch with the leg assembly can secure a position of the leg with respect to the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Mustafa A. Ergun, Shaun Christopher Lindblad, Michael P. Barros, Michael Anthony Apolloni, Nicholas Robert Swartz, Robert William Fluhrer

Patent number: 9266243Abstract: In one example, an arm assembly with an arm locking system is described that can include a base to position the arm on a support structure, an extension arm having first and second ends, the first end of the extension arm connected to the support structure or base at a first joint proximate the first end. The system can include a lift arm having third and fourth ends, the third end connected to the extension arm at a second joint proximate the third end, the fourth end being height adjustable relative to the base. The system can include a first lock engageable to selectively prevent movement about the first joint, a second lock engageable to selectively prevent movement about the second joint, and a third lock engageable to selectively prevent a height of the fourth end from being adjusted relative to the base or extension arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Ergotron, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Robert Swartz, Shaun C.
