This present invention relates to an adjustable height workstation comprising a mast having lock pin receptacles disposed along the mast, a work surface, and an accessory surface that is interconnected with a work surface and configured to slide along the mast. A lock pin can be inserted into a lock pin receptacle to abate the accessory surface moving along the mast. The work surface comprises a release rail that a user can operate to adjust the height of the accessory and work surfaces. A tapered pully assembly and counterbalance assembly are operationally related allowing the user to work ergonomically by adjusting the height of the accessory and the work surfaces, in a counterbalanced manner, up and down the mast in a variety of positions including floor level so that the user can work on the work surface at floor level.

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 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.

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.

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 pressure-adjustable gas spring includes a first gas spring and a gas source for adjusting a pressure. One end of the gas source is connected with the first gas spring and another end is connected with an adjustment device for adjusting the volume of the gas source. The adjustment device includes a cavity for accommodating the gas source and a piston. One end of the piston opposite the gas source is connected with a driving subassembly. The driving subassembly includes a screw. One end of the screw is connected with the piston and another end extends out of the cavity. A nut is arranged on the end of the screw extending out of the cavity. A connection tube is arranged outside the nut in a sleeving manner. One end of the connection tube is connected with the cavity and a rotating block is mounted at an opening of another end.

A height-adjustable device has synchronously height-adjustable lifting devices each having a standing and lifting element, which are height-adjustable relative thereto. The height adjustment is configured to be carried out via pulling elements, formed by redirection devices, to raise the lifting element relative to the standing element. Each pulling element is secured in a non-positive or positive locking manner to lifting devices, and each are configured such that a lengthening in the region of the first lifting device brings about a synchronous shortening in the region of the second lifting device. Each pulling element is constructed to raise only the one lifting element relative to the standing element. The height-adjustable device has a locking device that locks the pulling elements by a non-positive or positive locking engagement on the corresponding one of the pulling elements. The locking device is constructed to synchronise the movement of the pulling elements.
