A height adjustable platform can include a work surface, a lock rod, and can include a brake assembly. The brake assembly can be sized and shaped to receive the lock rod. The brake assembly can be adapted to couple with the work surface. The brake assembly can be adapted to selectively translate with respect to the lock rod.

The brake assembly can include a first torsion spring having a first inner portion and can include a second torsion spring having a second inner portion. The first inner portion and the second inner portion can be sized and shaped to receive the lock rod. The first inner portion can selectively engage with the lock rod. The second inner portion can selectively engage with the lock rod. The brake assembly can include a locked configuration, an unlocked configuration, and can include a safety configuration.

A work station includes tool containing or supporting features as well as workbench features, such as a work surface and work back. The work station is preferably mobile, permitting it to be moved or transported. In addition, the work station is preferably collapsible and securable. In one configuration, the work station has a work bench portion which can be raised or lowered relative to a base portion, wherein in the lowered position, the base portion is positioned in an interior space of the work bench portion.

A height adjustable desk including a desktop which engages with a pair of base supports by a pair of X-shaped frames and is adjustable between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position. The pair of X-shaped frames each has a first arm and a second arm. The pair of base supports each has a first biasing member which is configured to bias the corresponding second arm upwards to move the desktop towards the fully raised position, and a second biasing member which is configured to bias the corresponding first arm upwards to move the desktop towards the fully raised position. A pair of height adjustment members is provided on an underside of the desktop, each of which includes a handle, a guiding member, a connecting piece connected to the handle via a linkage mechanism and a biasing member.

An apparatus for adjusting the assistive lifting force capacity of a height adjustable work surface. The apparatus includes a couple of plates which are mounted to a system for providing a system for adjusting the height of the work surface. The plates include a set of connection points for connecting the apparatus to a gas spring. The geometry of the holes and the positioning of the gas spring provide for a more consistent lifting force throughout a range of motion of the work surface.

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.
