Vertically Positionable Storage Device
A vertically positionable storage device that is vertically positionable includes a cabinet. A pair of tracks, which is parallel, is configured to mount to a vertical surface. A plurality of guides, which is complimentary to the tracks, is configured to couple to a back of the cabinet. A biaser is operationally coupled to the back of the cabinet. The biaser is configured to return the cabinet to a raised position from a lowered position. The tracks are mountable to the vertical surface and the guides are couplable to the back of the cabinet such that the tracks are positioned to receive the guides to couple the cabinet to the tracks. The biaser is configured to allow the user to position the cabinet in a lowered position, with the guides moving through the tracks. The biaser will return the cabinet to a raised position.
Glide bearing arrangement for telescoping support columns
A glide bearing for guiding axial movement between inner and outer telescoping columns may include first and second spaced apart contact surfaces, and a resilient wall extending therebetween and having an outer convex surface defining an apex. A span between the apex and a plane defined between the first and second contact surfaces is greater than a width of a space between the outer surface of the inner column and the inner surface of the outer column. The glide bearing is configured to be disposed within the space with the first and second contact surfaces contacting the outer surface of the inner column, with the apex contacting the inner surface of the outer column and with the resilient wall deflecting inwardly toward the plane to accommodate the space in response to a force of the inner surface of the outer column acting against the apex.

Height-adjustable table leg
A table leg includes a fixed outer tube, a movable inner tube vertically movable in the fixed outer tube and having two pairs of parallel walls, and a plurality of rotating members rotatably mounted to one pair of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube and partially protruding out from an outer surface of the movable inner tube and stopped against an inner surface of the fixed outer tube, such that the rotating members are rotatable when the movable inner tube is moved relative to the fixed outer tube.
