Edge mount positioning apparatus, system, and method

摘要

Embodiments include an apparatus for positioning items such as an electronic display, a keyboard, and/or a work surface. The apparatus can be attached proximate an edge of a generally planar support member to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a display mount coupled to a support column and configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The support column may be movable with respect to support member between a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

主权项

1. An apparatus for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard relative to a support member, the apparatus comprising:
a riser comprising:
a bracket;a support column having a first end, a second end, and a length therebetween, the support column movably coupled to the bracket;an energy storage member positioned within the support column; anda first lift mechanism integrated within the support column; an attachment member including a clamp for removably attaching the attachment member about an edge of the support member, the attachment member coupled to the bracket and the riser and configured to attach the riser proximate the edge of the support member having a planar surface, wherein in an attached state the first lift mechanism movably couples the bracket and the support column through a vertical range of travel defined by a portion of the length of the support column and relative to the support member, and wherein the support column is movable relative to the support member; a display mount coupled to the support column, the display mount configured to support the electronic display; and a keyboard tray coupled to the support column; wherein the support column is movable relative to the bracket and the attachment member to simultaneously move the display mount and the keyboard tray within the vertical range of travel, and wherein when the clamp is attached to the edge of the support member the first end of the support column remains above the planar surface of the support member and the second end of the support column remains below the planar surface of the support member as the support column moves through the vertical range of travel.
