A motorized desktop stand unit having a main surface assembly designed to accommodate a monitor or laptop and a secondary surface assembly designed to accommodate a keyboard. The desktop stand unit also has a frame assembly having an upper frame and a lower frame. An elevation mechanism is provided between the upper frame and lower frame. A switch provided in the main surface assembly, when actuated, causes the elevation mechanism to adjust the space between the upper frame and lower frames, changing the height of the main surface assembly.

A desk frame elevation structure includes an inner tube telescopically received in an outer tube and a roller unit between the inner and outer tubes. The outer tube is fixed to a base and includes a bottom plate and a first top plate. A desk board unit is fixed to the inner tube. A telescopic rod is received in the inner tube and has top and bottom ends coupled to the outer and inner tubes, respectively. The inner tube extends through an upper buffer pad disposed below the first top plate. The upper buffer pad has an upper face abutting the first top plate and a lower face for abutting an abutting edge of the inner tube. A lower buffer pad is disposed above the bottom plate and includes a lower face abutting the bottom plate and an upper face for abutting a bottom end of the inner tube.

Four types of telescoping modules are disclosed wherein the first type has a pair of opposed female ends, the second type has a pair of opposed female ends, and the third type has a female end and an opposed male end. The fourth type has two opposed male ends between which a positionable threaded rod and retaining components stably extend the length between the male ends of the telescoping module. Alternatively, the fourth type of telescoping module may have a female end and a male end. Each of the male ends of the second, third, and fourth types of telescoping modular components comprises a cylindrical body with one or more linear set(s) of two or more spaced-apart prongs on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical body. Each of the female ends has a cylindrical receptacle with one or more linear channels and/or prong-retaining slots for receiving therein the cylindrical body.

A variable height workstation system includes a base, a variable height platform, a lift mechanism, and a sensor arrangement. The lift mechanism is configured to move the variable height platform within a range of motion between a fully lowered position and a raised position. The sensor arrangement is operatively connected to the variable height platform. The sensor arrangement is configured to sense the position and movement of a user on, above and around the variable height platform for outputting data to determine how the user is positioned on, above and around the variable height platform in comparison to a predetermined target position.

A pneumatic lifting table frame includes a transverse beam, at least one column, a pressure sensor that detects a load of the lifting table frame, a controller configured to receive a signal from the pressure sensor, and an adjustable gas spring assembly configured to drive the column to be lifted or lowered. The adjustable gas spring assembly includes an adjustable gas spring body, a gas reservoir, a piston rod assembly, and a drive unit. The adjustable gas spring body is connected to the gas reservoir via a gas pipe. The controller is configured to control the drive unit, the adjustable gas spring body (401) is disposed in one of the column, and the drive unit drives the piston rod assembly to carry out a piston motion in the gas reservoir.
