HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE DESK
The present invention relates a height-adjustable desk including: a base; a top board provided so as to be vertically elevated with respect to the base; a link mechanism disposed between the base and the top board so as to support a top board such that the top board may be elevated and including a plurality of link members; a height-adjusting means formed to be extendable at a desired length and determining the height of the top board with respect to the base according to a length thereof; and an operating means for fixing the height-adjusting means so that the height-adjusting means maintains the desired length.
WORKSTATION HEIGHT-ADJUSTMENT MONITORING
A workstation including a height-adjustable work surface is described. The workstation includes a frame, and the work surface is configured to translate relative to the frame to vary a height of the work surface. A lift assembly configured to assist translation of the work surface relative to the frame. The lift assembly includes a moveable component and translation of the moveable component results in a translation of the work surface relative to the frame. A translation sensor is coupled to one of the frame or the movable component, and it is configured to measure translation of the moveable component relative to the frame. A control circuit is in communication with the translation sensor to determine an amount of translation of the work surface relative to the frame.

Height adjustable platforms and associated mechanisms
A mobile workstation can include a head unit assembly. A worksurface can be coupled to the head unit assembly and configured to translate with respect to the head unit assembly between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A glide can be rotatably coupled to the head unit assembly and engaged with the worksurface. The glide can include a latch configured to translate with respect to a glide body of the glide. The mobile workstation can include a worksurface opening mechanism having a locking configuration and an unlocking configuration. The worksurface opening mechanism can include a latch release handle moveably coupled to the head unit assembly. Movement of the latch release handle can transition the worksurface opening mechanism between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration. A release assembly can selectively engage with the first latch. A lift system can bias the worksurface away from the head unit assembly.

Height adjustable table
A height-adjustable table includes a frame supporting a work surface; a pair of lower legs supporting the frame; a pulley mechanism coupling the frame and the lower legs for vertically moving the frame relative to the lower legs; and a spring located within a passage extending through the frame. The spring has a fixed end secured to the frame and a movable end movable relative to the frame over a first distance for exerting a force over the first distance. The table further includes a block-and-tackle assembly located within the passage. The block-and-tackle assembly couples the movable end of the spring to the pulley mechanism for transferring the force exerted by the spring over the first distance to vertical movement of the frame relative to the lower legs over a second distance greater than the first distance.
