Provided is a length-adjustable column with a standpipe having a longitudinal axis, a length-adjustment device arranged in the standpipe with a portion displaceably-mounted along the longitudinal axis with respect to the standpipe and an anti-rotation locking device for locking the portion against a rotation around the longitudinal axis relative to the standpipe. The anti-rotation locking device includes an inner element, which is fastened to an outer surface of the portion, and an outer element, which is fastened to an inner surface of the standpipe. The inner element cooperates with positive locking with the outer element against a rotation around the longitudinal axis, and is displaceably guided along the longitudinal axis by the outer element. The inner element is connected with the portion through a substance-to-substance connecting layer.

Multiple table top sections are separately and independently adjustable both vertically and horizontally, so that multiple patients/users can sit and use the table comfortably and with a feeling of inclusion and community. The controllers for unlatching each table section may be biased paddles under, but very near, the right and/or left edges of the table sections. By placing the user's palm on the top of table section and curling the fingers down around the edge to engage the paddle, the user can grasp both the right or left edge and the associated paddle with the same hand, to both unlatch the table top section and apply force to the edge to move the table section into the desired adjusted position. Release of the paddle and the edge automatically relatch the table section in the desired adjusted position for use of the table.

Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for positioning an electronic display. The apparatus can be combined with an existing work surface to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a mounting portion configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The mounting portion may be movable with respect to the work surface between multiple positions, including for example, a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

A lifting table includes a top plate height adjustment device that performs a height adjustment of all support columns in a synchronized manner. The top plate is supported on the floor by of a leg structure provided with multiple support columns arranged in parallel. Top plate receiving structures attach a column to the top plate and change the length of the support columns. Push valves exposed on the inside of the top plate receiving structures are actuated, changing the length of gas springs provided inside of the support columns. By extending an operation rod unit into the top plate receiving structures from a single handle of an operation lever via a connection fitting, the push valves are operated the same amount and at the same time in all of the columns with a single operation, so that it is possible to smoothly raise and lower the top plate.
