CONVERTIBLE SIT AND STAND WORKSTATION

摘要

A workstation for alternatively configuring a conventional desk for use while sitting and use while standing. The workstation includes an extendable column formed of multiple nested sections. The nested sections are configured to telescope such that the column can be extended. The workstation is configured to support a monitor and a tray. The extendable column contains a counter balance mechanism that is configured to resist collapsing of the column. A movement coupling mechanism is provided that it is such that motion of the first section relative to the second section is transmitted to the third section such that the third section moves a corresponding amount relative to the second section.

1. A workstation for alternatively configuring a conventional desk for use while sitting and use while standing, the workstation comprising:
an extendable column that includes nested sections that are nested together such that the column can telescope and there is a first section, a second section, and a third section positioned such that the first section is received by the second section and the second section is received by the third section; a keyboard tray carried by the column and configured support a keyboard; and a movement coupling mechanism that is configured to couple at least two of the sections such that when one of the coupled sections moves relative to the remaining section, the other coupled section moves relative to the remaining section.
