Gas Cylinder Quick Release Device
A gas cylinder quick release device has a cylindrical upper assembly, a cylindrical lower assembly arranged below the upper assembly on a common axis, and a handle which is mounted to move between a first position and a second position. Movement of the handle from the first position to the second position imparts axial displacement of the upper and lower assemblies away from each other along the axis, thereby breaking a press-fit engagement of a wheelbase otherwise secured on the gas cylinder.
Collapsible table
An example collapsible table is described. The collapsible table includes a table top including a top surface and a bottom surface. The collapsible table includes a supporting mechanism coupled to the table top and including a first support assembly and a second support assembly. Each of the first and second support assemblies can be to be disposed in an extended configuration and a collapsed configuration. In the extended configuration, the first and second support assemblies mechanically engage the table top to maintain the table top elevated at an extended height. In the collapsed configuration, the first and second support assemblies collapse to maintain the table top elevated at a collapsed height.
Display positioning apparatus and method
An apparatus for positioning an electronic display 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.

SIDE TABLE
A side table includes a base unit, a top board, and a telescopic tube unit that is mounted to the base unit, and that includes an outer tube subunit, an inner tube subunit and a roller subunit. The outer tube subunit extends in an up-down direction. The inner tube subunit is coupled telescopically to the outer tube subunit. The roller subunit is mounted to the inner tube subunit, and includes a plurality of rollers that are in slidable contact with the outer tube subunit. The top board corresponds in position to the base unit in the up-down direction, and is mounted co-movably to the outer tube subunit such that a distance between the base unit and the top board in the up-down direction changes during telescopic operation of the telescopic tube unit.

TABLE WITH STORAGE RACK
A table assembly can include a table top, a post assembly coupled at one end to an underside of the table top, and a base assembly operatively coupled to an opposite end of the post assembly and configured to support the table top on a floor surface. The table assembly can include one or more racks disposed above the base assembly and arranged about the post assembly. Each of the one or more racks defines an opening between the post assembly and a cross-bar of the rack configured to receive an elongate platform therethrough for storage. Optionally, the table assembly can have a height adjustment mechanism actuatable to adjust the height of the table top above the floor space.

ACTUATOR SYSTEM AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL TABLE COMPRISING SUCH AN ACTUATOR SYSTEM
The invention relates to an actuator system (100) for a table (200) having at least two table legs (210) of variable length and a table top (220) held by the table legs (210), characterized in that it comprises at least two master cylinders (10), each having a cylinder (10a) and a piston (10b) movable in the cylinder (10a) and a piston rod (10c) for moving the piston (10b), wherein a slave cylinder (20) having a cylinder (20a) and a piston (20b) movable in the cylinder (20a) for changing the length of the table leg (210) is connected to each of the master cylinders (10) by means of a conduit (40) allowing fluid (30) flow between the master cylinder (10) and the slave cylinder (20), and wherein the piston rods (10c) of the master cylinders (10) are mechanically connected to each other by means of a rigid connecting element (45), and wherein a drive unit (52) in a rigid drive connection (50) with the connecting element (45) is connected to the connecting element (45) for simultaneously moving the pistons (10a) of the master cylinders (10). The invention further relates to a multifunctional table (200) comprising an actuator system (100) according to the invention.
