  • Publication number: 20150047535
    Abstract: A work station comprises a mounting bracket adapted to be mounted to a surface. An upper arm and a lower arm are mounted to the mounting bracket for pivoting motion about a first vertical axis. A track is pivoted to the upper arm and the lower arm about a second vertical axis where the track supports a vertically displaceable carriage. The carriage may support a monitor and work platform where the work platform supports a key board tray. A lift system supports the carriage for vertical movement. Work station mounting systems are also provided for movably supporting a work platform.

  • Patent number: 8616136
    Abstract: A work station comprises a work platform that may be mounted on a movable carriage. The work platform may support a keyboard tray on a drawer where the drawer may be moved between a retracted position and an extended position. The tray is mounted for pivoting motion in a first direction and a second direction between a lowered position and a raised position. A gear is operatively connected to the tray such that rotation of the tray causes rotation of the gear. A pawl is biased into engagement with the gear to prevent movement of the tray in the second direction to lock the tray in an angular position when the tray is moved in the first direction. A latch disengages the pawl from the gear when the tray reaches the fully raised position to allow the tray to move in the second direction to the lowered position.

  • Patent number: 8567735
    Abstract: A workstation comprises a support and a carriage mounted on the support and movable relative to the support. The carriage supports a work platform. A counter-balance supports the carriage and the work platform. A lock mechanism locks the carriage relative to the support in a desired position. The workstation may comprise a swing arm attached to the support at a vertical pivot such that the support may pivot relative to the swing arm. A method of operating the work station is also provided comprising moving an actuator to retract the pin from the rack. The weight of the support is supported by the counter-balance. The carriage is repositioned and the actuator is released to allow the pin to move to the extended position where it engages the rack.

  • Publication number: 20110290796
    Abstract: A storage system comprises a container comprising a rigid side wall defining a corner. A divider comprises a first flexible wall attached to the side wall and a second wall attached to the side wall. The first wall is connected to the second wall and is movable between a first configuration where the first wall and the second wall extend parallel to the side wall and a second configuration where the first wall and the second wall extend away from the side wall to define a first compartment in the container. The system may proved a plurality of containers sized such that they may be stacked on top of one another and nested inside of one another.

  • Patent number: 7992728
    Abstract: An organizer assembly system includes a track having a base and a bar coupled to, and spaced from, the base to form an I-beam having a longitudinal axis. The base is configured for attachment to a first mounting surface or a second mounting surface, and the bar is configured as a rail in a plurality of rail orientations of varying lengthwise rotation of the track about the longitudinal axis. A first organizer item of the system has a runner to engage the bar of the track in a first rail orientation of the plurality of rail orientations in which the track is attached to the first mounting surface and the runner rides upon a first surface of the bar such that the track supports the first organizer item relative to the first mounting surface.
