Publication number: 20140109803Abstract: The invention includes a display positioning assembly comprising a support, a display supported by the support, and a balance mechanism carried by the display and operatively connected to the support. The invention also includes an article for selectively exposing a display comprising a generally planar support surface having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A balance mechanism operatively connected to a display may be positionable between a storage position proximate the first side of the generally planar support surface and an exposed position proximate the second side of the generally planar support surface. The invention also includes an assembly for arresting the free fall of an object. The assembly may comprise an outer slide in sliding or rolling engagement with an inner slide, and a brake comprising at least one pivot member may be coupled to the inner slide.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2013Publication date: April 24, 2014Inventors: Harry C. Sweere, Mustafa A. Ergun, Robert W. Fluhrer, Shaun C. Lindblad, Jeffrey M. Eliason, Steve Nistler, Ron Saltz, Joe Funk
