Combination foldable and adjustable workstation
A workstation includes a frame supporting a work surface upon which a task can be completed and/or an item can be stored. The workstation can include a drive system for adjusting a height of the work surface above a surface supporting the workstation. The workstation can also be configured such that the work surface and other components of the workstation can be moved between an in use mode and a lower profile storage and/or transportation mode.

Telescopic column that can be calibrated, piece of furniture having a telescopic column that can be calibrated, and method for calibrating a telescopic column
The invention relates to a column that can be calibrated, in particular for a piece of furniture, wherein the column 100, 101 that can be calibrated has a stationary part 4, at least one movable part 2, 3, and a calibrating means 6, 13, 14, and the movable part 2, 3 can be transferred from a retracted state to a plurality of extended states, and wherein a calibration position of the column 100, 101 coincides with the position of the movable part 2, 3 in an extended state. Such a column can be used in a piece of furniture as an extendable column.

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.

DISPLAY POSITIONING APPARATUS AND METHOD
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.

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.
ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT DESK
An adjustable height desk is disclosed herein that is configured for easy assembly and disassembly. The desk includes panels joined to form a support core for supporting a working surface. The desk also includes a planar base that is easily attached to and removed from the support core by way of protrusions on panels of the support core. The protrusions have locking holes formed therein. Through holes in the base receive the protrusions. Locking pins are inserted through the locking holes to form a compression fit. The locking pins can be sized for movement through a locking hole and for creating a compression fit when inserted into a locking hole. One end of the locking pins can be configured with a hook portion for mating with a locking pin insertion/removal tool. The tool can be utilized to insert and remove the locking pins.
