ERGONOMIC FULLY ADJUSTABLE WORK STATION
The present invention provides an ergonomic and fully-adjustable user work station system and method of use. In one embodiment, the system provides a work station apparatus for a user comprising: a base; a stool comprising a seat, the stool interconnected with the base and extending in a vertical direction; a first mast extending in a vertical direction and interconnected with the base; and a work surface element interconnected with a proximal portion of the first mast; wherein the work surface element may be reached by the user when the user is seated on the stool. In one embodiment, the work station apparatus further comprises an adjustable anterior chest support and head support.
Adjustable Height Desktop Workstation
An adjustable height platform is disclosed. The example adjustable height platform provides a first stage of uprights coupled to a lower platform and a second stage of uprights coupled to a lower platform. The first and second stage are coupled by a bracket with three pivot points. A first lower upright and a first upper upright couple to distinct pivot points on the bracket and a second lower upright and second upper upright couple to a common pivot point on the bracket. A first-to-second stage transfer mechanism transfer rotation force from the first stage of uprights to the second stage of uprights. The upper platform includes a height fixing mechanism release to interface with a height fixing mechanism coupled to the first upper upright to fix the height of the adjustable height platform.

A Lifting Table and a Method of Operating and Cleaning a Lifting Table
A lifting table including a platform having a polygonal contour and including an upper and a lower face, a lifting mechanism and a base. The lifting mechanism connected to the table top and including an actuator for raising and lowering the table top. The base configured for supporting the lifting mechanism. Two side members positioned along two adjoining sides of the table top and a switch element positioned below the upper face, wherein the side members are connected to the table top below the upper face allowing the side members to be moved between a first position, wherein the frame members are disengaged from the switch element and a second position where the side members activate the switch element, hereby preventing displacement of the table top relative to the base. Ends of the side members are arranged with a distance in between each other.

TABLE
Each of a plurality of leg units (U1 to U4) for supporting a top plate (2) have a support column (5) and a foot section (6). The plurality of leg units (U1 to U4) are divided into a first leg unit group (G1) along one long side edge “a” of the top plate (2) and a second leg unit group (G2) along the other long side edge “a”. The first operation units (301) corresponding to the first leg unit group (G1) and the second operation units (302) corresponding to the second leg unit group (G2) are operated individually, to change the lengths of the support columns (5) belonging to the leg unit set (G1) and the second leg unit set (G2) to the different lengths, so that the top plate (2) is tilted.

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.
